Here’s this week’s top news about the islands of Aloha.
* Hawaiian Airlines is celebrating their fourth Airbus A330 with $334 roundtrip fares. That’s fares starting at $334 for all Hawaiian Airlines direct transpacific routes! You must book these fares by May 5, 2011 for travel between September 9 – November 17, 2011, which happens to be one of the best times to visit Hawaii. Visit Hawaiian Airlines website to book.
* Alaska Airlines has summer sale to Hawaii with fares starting at $398 roundtrip. The sale fares are valid for travel between June 10 and August 21, 2011.
* The best-selling Maui guidebook, Maui Revealed, is available on a really slick iPhone app for $5.99. Check out the demo in this YouTube video. I’m really impressed.
* Four Seasons Hualalai on the Big Island has reopened as scheduled following the damage sustained during the March tsunami. See this Big Island Video News segment.
* The mule and hiking trail to Kalaupapa National Historic Park on Moloka‘i has
reopened with a brand new name. Kalaupapa Rare Adventure takes visitors on a
guided 2.9-mile mule tour down the highest sea cliffs in the world to the storied leper
colony of Kalaupapa. Travelers will be trained to ride and control the mules
before embarking. For more information, visit MuleRide.com.

too bad the Hawaiian Air deal timing isn’t better for me. Great deal!
Glad the mule rides opened back up, remember reading about them not being able to operate. That sounds like an experience to ride down the side of the cliff like that!
