    I was visiting Ohau for a few days and looking for a deep tissue massage that was not exorbitantly expensive and found Hawaii Natural Therapy online. I requested an appointment and got one the very next day. Their location is on a non-descript side-street, but when you walk in you at once feel soothed in a clean, calming, spa setting. My massage therapist was excellent--one of the best massages I have ever gotten! The pressure was perfectly strong. And--everyone there was super friendly. High recommend it!

    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!

    We had the best time at our family surf lesson! All 4 of us got up right away and caught many waves. Our instructor was patient and so helpful with our 7 and 8 year old children. The pictures and drone videos were a fantastic addition to the experience! It was so nice to just enjoy the lesson without having to worry about taking pictures ourselves. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable experience!

    My family does cooking classes all over, and this one was one of the best! The instructor, Linda, is an incredible lady equipped with amazing cooking skills, in-depth knowledge of Hawaiian history and culture, jaw-dropping life stories, and endless energy. On top of that, we had the best mochi we ever had! We did the Hawaiian local favorites, but I would highly recommend any of these classes, as Linda is a versatile, capable cook and excellent teacher and hostess!

    Our family of four had an amazing time on the Outrigger Canoe ride! The guides were friendly and laid-back, making the experience even more enjoyable. It was such a thrill to be out on the water, paddling with all our might, and then surfing the waves toward the shore. The waves were extra high the day we went, but the guides made sure we were safe and had a fantastic time. If you're in the front seat, be prepared—you will definitely get WET!!! This was the perfect first activity for our vacation in Oahu!

    This was just about the best thing we did on Oahu. Lynn is a patient and kind kumu (teacher). We learned a ton about hula, and also the Hawaiian language and culture. Who would've thought that after a 90 minute lesson, two non-dancers would be able to tell a story in dance! The experience also helped us to better appreciate the professional hula we saw later in our trip. And we got a fun video and pictures to document this unforgettable experience.

    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.

    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.
