CBS is readying a brand new version of its classic Aloha State crime drama Hawaii Five-O for the age of high-definition screens and reality television. Ed Bernero, executive producer of the network’s popular crime procedural Criminal Minds, told The Hollywood Reporter today that he was on board to oversee production of the new Five-O. The […]
Honolulu-based Zippy’s Restaurants is opening its first-ever Maui location on August 18 in Kahului. It’s a historic moment for Zippy’s and Maui fans of its cuisine. Zippy’s famous chili, its ZipPacs and the rest of its plate lunch menu will now be available 24 hours a day on the Valley Isle! No more envying Oahu.
For our first Hidden Hawaii photo essay (in HAWAII’s July/August 2008 issue), our photographer David Croxford and editor John Heckathorn visited North Kohala on Hawaii’s Big Island. Their goal? To show off the peninsula’s once shuttered, now newly vibrant plantation towns—Hawi and Kapa’au—and breathtaking Pololu Valley lookout. It’s an area seldom seen by visitors. They
It’s colorful. It’s thematic. It’s musical. It’s acrobatic. It’s French-Canadian. It must be Cirque du Soleil—coming to Hawaii for the first time ever this October, with its arena-touring show Saltimbanco. Saltimbanco is Italian meaning “to jump on a bench.” But anyone familiar with the 18 worldwide shows put on by these masters of circus reinvention
Big fish, no? The Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament is on this week in the waters off Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island. It’s the 49th annual running of the tournament, which bills itself as “the granddaddy of all big game fishing tournaments.” More than two dozen fishing teams from around the world head out into the
Kilauea volcano is still the best show on Hawaii’s Big Island even if it has been sort of business-as-usual the last couple of weeks. A few small temblors at the summit. Halemaumau’s steam and ash plume. Molten magma from downslope Pu’u O’o vent meeting chilly ocean off the Puna coastline. What to do? Catch up
We know how it is. You go out of town on a vacation or a business trip. You have family or friends from out of town staying at the house for a week. You get slammed at the office. There’s a weeklong marathon of Magnum P.I. episodes on cable. When daily life intrudes, you can’t
A nine-year-old with a truly unfortunate name—it was the strangest piece of Hawaii-related news I encountered checking my e-mail this morning. A New Zealand family court judge today intervened in the case of a young girl so embarrassed by her birth name, she went by the alias “K” in school to avoid being teased and
Ah, an evening in the Big Easy’s once nouveau riche Garden District! Refined men and women in their post-sunset finest. Jazz and zydeco drifting on gentle breezes scented by Spanish moss. Boiled crawfish. Jambalaya. A frosty mint julep to wash it all down. All you need to get there is a ride to the Honolulu
Think these photos are as cool as we do? There’s more. We had such a great time going through this collection of vintage Hawaii photos that we wanted to share it with HawaiiMagazine.com readers. Titled A Soldier’s Shots of Hawaii from 1940 to 1950, the photo collection was apparently snapped up at estate sales and
With all of the recent showy eruptive activity at Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, we’ve been asked by more than a few of you where the best place is to view the current lava flow. The view from a helicopter or airplane tour flight over remote Pu’u O’o vent—the only vent on Kilauea’s slopes

Our world-famous volcano-watching friends Steven and Donna O’Meara just sent this breathtaking new photo from their recent Kilauea volcano adventures for HawaiiMagazine.com readers. Donna called it, “by far, the most majestic image I have ever taken in 24 years. … I always knew Kilauea was a world-class volcano and now she’s proving it. … This
