How to Vacation in Hawaii – Exotically!

April 14, 2009 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment 

I have always wanted to take a trip to Hawaii…

As you know, my passion is wild animals and guess what it is I want to do when I’m on vacation in Hawaii…

See as much wildlife as I can! That’s what brings me joy!

Hawaii is the home of the spinner and bottleneck dolphins, as well as migrating Alaskan humpback whales, monk seals, and Hawaiian green sea turtles, just to name a few.

In the bird realm, the Albatross likes to nest in Hawaii, so there are Albatross chicks that get to first learn things about the world on the islands.

Of course, I want to see their state bird, the Nene Goose!

Now, I don’t want to stay in the wilderness the whole time we’re there…I’d like to stay at a Maui Resort .

The Ka’anapali Resort would suit us just fine, as they’re on the beach, have a lot of ocean and sightseeing activities available for guests…

I would also love to take in a luau, some great ukulele music and enjoy the botanical gardens, check out the volancoes, take a horseback ride along Hana Coast…

…All in all, explore the different microclimates (including some of the waterfalls), relax with my hubby on the beach, take in the animal sites and sounds, experience a little culture and maybe a little pampering at their spa! LOL

The list gets longer as I think about all the fun things to do – I want to snorkel, take a sail or go whale watching…

I’d love to take a glass bottom sea kayak out with my hubby – We’ve always wanted to do that!!!

…Possibly a little surfing, but on the small waves! LOL…

Maui Weddings would be especially enjoyable here – so much for everyone to do and see and explore!

What would you do in Maui?

Roseate Terns of the Great Barrier Reef Islands

roseateternThe Great Barrier Reef boasts 215 species of birds, including 22 species of seabirds, and shorebirds numbering 32 species.

The Roseate Tern is considered a seabird plentiful on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef, especially Lady Elliot Island.

Instead of nesting in nests in trees, they make a hollow under dense vegetation to roost.

They make good use of the ocean, however, by diving in to grab fish out of the water, and does not prefer fresh water for feeding. They may bathe in fresh water lagoons inland.

Roseate terns don’t mind stealing fish from other seabirds, which is atypical for sterns, and the male offers up a meal to the female when courting.

In groups of more tropical places where the Roseate tern flourishes, the red base of their thin, sharp, black bill is much more extensive.

They have long, flexible tail feathers visible during flight that look like streamers. The namesake of the Roseate comes from the adults’ Read more
