HAWAII BY SEAPLANE

Listener Ricardo emailed in with a question about exploring Oahu by the air.

Dear Jennifer and Dan, thanks so much for the fun show each week. I have something that may be right up your alley. Seaplane tours. Do you have any experience with seaplane tours of Oahu? I know there are many companies that feature helicopter tours, but my girlfriend has a fear of helicopters. Believe it or not, she said we could do a seaplane tour. And advice and budget ideas welcome.

KO OLINA KIDS IDEAS

Michelle and Alan emailed in...

Dear Dan and Jennifer-

We are traveling to Oahu in April with our kids and are looking for a few unique ideas to do with them. Any thoughts? PS We will be staying in the Ko Olina area.

-Michelle and Alan. Austin TX

Two fun suggestions:

ANNOUNCING THE MOLOKINI!

Our own mixologist Jennifer created the signature cocktail of the Hawaii Travel Podcast. It’s called the Molokini and it is VERY tasty, and, it packs quite a punch. A nice Hawaiian Punch!

Ingredients:

1 ounce Triple Sec
1 ounce Rum
1/2 ounce Roses Sweetened Lime Juice
1 1/2 ounce of Guava Nectar

Steps:

Rim about 3/4 of the glass with sugar. This represents the top of the volcano. Of course you’ll want to rim the glass with sugar before you put the rest of the ingredients in.

Mix ll of the ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Pour into glass. Drink. Repeat.
