    My husband insisted I get a long overdue prenatal massage (PM) for HIS birthday today and not only did I refuse because it’s his day but I was also so sure no one would have an availability in the time frame we needed, especially since he wanted to book the day of… I was wrong! This was my first time at HNT since we’re from central Oahu but needed somewhere in the Ward area so he was so happy that the receptionist Kristy could get us an appointment (she had to call the therapist and call us back). Keola was great from introduction, through consultation - explaining the process to my husband and I (he got to sit in with me) - throughout the session, and til we parted. He even brought his own equipment (chest and lower body pillows so that I could lay face down). I’ve always laid on my side for my PM in the past so that was different, but so good! It’s like God knew, since I’ve actually been uncomfortable on either side when I sleep at night recently. I felt relaxed and comfortable on the bed as if it was a normal massage (and not hapai). Keola asked and then double checked on the pressure about 5 and then 30 minutes in, which I never had to ask him to adjust. I was grateful that it wasn’t just a rub (like some of my past experiences elsewhere), but an actual tension relief massage and in the focus areas I mentioned! He was very knowledgeable about the baby, the placenta, & why things are done a certain way for us hapai women during a PM. He was professional, friendly, & just very good at what he does! I left feeling so relaxed, relieved, I joked to my husband to carry me out, LOL! We came out to cups of water, a few grapes, a Dove chocolate (dark - my fave!) and a Honolulu Cookie Company cookie! Kristy continued with her great customer service as we paid and informing us of the membership options. I took advantage of the 10% off discount when you check in (Yelp) and they even blessed my husband with his choice of a 10ml Essential Oil for his birthday! I felt like a member even though we weren’t! We’ll definitely be back and recommend this place to ohana and friends. Mahalo HNT!

    This store is conveniently located in the Sheraton lobby and offers a great selection of ukulele's. But the real standout is the free ukulele lesson that my wife and I participated. Neither of us have ever played a strong instrument previously and after on 30 minutes we understood how to hold it, tune it, strum it and play two very simple songs.

    The instructor was patient and informative and I highly recommend a visit!

    I rented a board here as our hotel is right next to it. I rented it for a week for a reasonable price of $165. Better than hiring it for a day. Locker is provided which is great for storing the board. As I surf a lot in Australia, I picked a classic 9’6” Creative Army board by Josh Constable, an Australian shaper from Noosa. It is a great board!!! Perfect for riding the waves in Pops (Populars) . I was assisted by Han, who is very helpful, cool and knowledgeable. I call him Eminem of Waikiki. They do have wide range of surfboards available depending on your skill level. If you’re planning to surf, bring your own wax. It’s very handy.

    I've taken lessons with a few instructors in Oahu for kitesurfing so I can say with full confidence that this is by far the best one on the island. I'm dead serious - just go with Maui.

    Here are a few reasons why:
    1. He has a boat. That means instead of losing your board in the water and spending precious time having to body drag and locate your board, he actually just brings it back to you. For me, it meant I was able to have "many shots on goal", giving me a lot of opportunity to try to get up on the board during the water start. Not to mention, you can get immediate feedback from him. Compare that to other instructors where you literally aren't getting any feedback (very few instructors have two-way radio headsets in Oahu) until you get back to the beach.
    2. He takes you to a location where it's just you and the calm flat water. Most kitesurfing schools will have you at Kailua beach. However, it's a crowded beach with a small launch area and when the wind is good, the waves are choppy and there's a bunch of other kitersurfers, windsurfer out there. For a beginner like myself, that's stressful.
    3. He's calm and patient. This is more of a personal learning style but there's already so much to think about when you are on the water (flying the kite, grabbing the board, getting your feet in situated correctly, starting to do the power stroke all while trying to incorporate the feedback you just got from a failed attempt) so it was made much easier for me when you didn't have someone who would just tense you up from his demeanor.

    Linda is an amazing teacher, enjoyed hearing about her story and getting to know her. Loved that she gave the history behind the dishes. It was a fun class, learned so much, and everything that we made was delicious. If I am back in Hawaii I am signing up for another one of her classes.

    What a great opportunity I got to spend a full day with Steve for his Outdoor Lighting class. We spent 4-5 hours in his studio where not a second was wasted. He made sure we all thoroughly understood exposure, metering, and lighting ratios and we practiced all of that indoors first. He spent time answering my questions and demonstrating reasons for different ratios and lighting patterns. Then we headed outdoors...and it was so much fun as we all took turns being assistants to each other using scrims, reflectors, and off-camera flash. The class was exactly what I needed to understand angles, lighting patterns, and how NOT to blow out my bright beach skies while making my subjects look fantastic. Steve is a great teacher - very respectful as everyone was learning and needed gentle guidance.

    If you are looking for private hula lessons from a wonderful teacher, I highly recommend Lynn's services. With her extensive dancing and teaching experience, her patience and enthusiasm, she rapidly helped me improve my basic hula skills. In addition, you learn a lot about Hawaii's culture, the hula dance and so much more. The next time I will come to Waikiki, I will certainly book her again for some fun and enriching hula lessons - a lasting memory for sure.
