Sound on for the coziest experience.
It’s King Kalākaua’s birthday. A lifelong patron of Hawaiian music and dance, his joyful spirit earned him the nickname “Merrie Monarch.”
To honor his legacy, the world’s most prestigious hula competition, the Merrie Monarch Festival, takes place each April at the Edith Kanaka‘ole Stadium in Hilo. This unforgettable week-long celebration showcases the power, perseverance, and pride of Hawaiian culture.
Learn more about the King’s lasting impact on hula, Hawaiian arts, and more at the Merrie Monarch festival website.
Next summer needs to hurry up. 😭
The moment we’ve all been looking forward to.
📍 Honolulu, O‘ahu
Here, we believe that to know where we are going, we must know where we come from. Which is why Indigenous knowledge is woven into everything from our food to our art and music—grounding our ways of life in heritage.
This Indigenous People’s Day, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the cultures and contributions of Indigenous people around the world.
Logging off in 3, 2, 1…
📍 Po‘ipū Beach, Kaua‘i
A visit to the Islands isn’t complete without a hike. With hundreds of trails across the state, there are options for every age and skill level to enjoy—often with panoramic views.
Just make sure to choose an official hike, stay on the trail, and take lots of pics!
Tip: bring a friend (or three).
The fix you need is just a flight away. 🤷
The flavors of Hawai‘i taste better with friends. 😋

Swap that double-monitor setup for two-paddled, weekend fun.

From honoring leaders like Queen Lili‘uokalani to the stories preserved in ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language), Hawaiian History Month is a celebration of cultural resilience and pride.
It is a time to honor the rich legacy of Hawai‘i and the enduring contributions of Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians)—carried forward through leadership, language, and the living traditions that continue to shape these Islands.
Trade your pumpkin spice latte for something a little sweeter. Hawai‘i's weather stays warm year-round, so activities like these are always a hit.
Between mountain top volcanoes and tropical rain forests, Hawai‘i’s National Parks are some of our greatest treasures. Let's give a round of applause to the @NationalParkService and all its years of fueling adventure! 👏
Almost forgot the whole point was to be outside, in Hawai‘i, under the sun. ☀️

June 11th marks King Kamehameha I Day. If you’re anywhere in Hawai‘i around this time, keep an eye out for parades, lei draping celebrations, and more to honor his legacy.
Also known as Kamehameha The Great, he was a warrior and a leader who united the Hawaiian Islands in 1810.
He fought to lead Hawai‘i as one. From the battle of Mokuʻōhai on Hawaiʻi Island to the final unification on Kaua‘i, King Kamehemaha I was the first to establish the Hawaiian Islands as one.
On Maui, head to ‘Īao Valley to see the site of the 1790 Battle of Kepaniwai. His statue can also be seen in Honolulu. Meanwhile, on Hawai‘i Island, a statue dedicated can be found in Hilo — and further north, you can visit the painted statue of him in his hometown of Kohala.

February is Mahina ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian Language Month)! ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is the foundation of Hawaiian culture, carrying the stories, history, and aloha of the islands. Not only is it a means for communication, but it is rhythmic and poetic. ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is tied with mana (energy) of Hawaiian spirituality, nature, and mythology. Once nearly lost, this beautiful language is thriving today.
Join us this month as we celebrate with fun facts, words to learn, and ways to honor the language that connect us to the heart of Hawaiʻi.
