If you want to know what we just shipped — new reporting, upcoming events, fresh trip tips, food picks, weather watches — the Daily Updates email is the easiest way. One message at 9 AM Hawaiʻi time (early afternoon on the US mainland), with a card for every new article we just published. Skim it with your coffee, click through to whatever's relevant, get on with your day.
What you'll get
News & alerts
Closures, regulation changes, weather watches, volcano updates — the things that change your trip if you're already on a plane or about to book one.
Events & festivals
Lei Day, Merrie Monarch, Aloha Festivals, monthly island calendars — we cover them before they happen so you have time to plan around them.
Trip tips
Budgeting, packing, car rentals, first-timer mistakes, ocean safety, the questions readers keep asking us — answered in plain English, not hedge-and-vibe blogging.
Food & drink
Restaurant openings, food festival coverage, neighborhood plate-lunch guides, coffee farms, and whatever new spot caught our attention this week.
Things to do
New activities, seasonal guides, hike-of-the-week picks, snorkel reports, whale-season check-ins — whatever's actually worth doing in Hawaiʻi right now.
From the founders
John & Victoria have been doing this since 2003. Most days you'll hear from us directly — not a marketing department.
