    I’m thinking that with no one able to come to Kauai in a reasonable fashion, shark attacks should not be a concern. BTW, we own on Kauai and have been coming 2-3 times a year since 1982 for as long as 6 weeks at a time. Given recent conditions and the number of vagrants and beggars and general negative tone of Kauai politicians, it will probably be a while before we return. You’ll note that we have received your messages for many years and truly appreciate the information contained. In light of current environment, I just couldn’t help but comment. Thank you for being there and keeping us informed. Bob

    Aloha…I was hoping this email titled “Incidents on Big Island” might include SOME info on Mauna Kea. I’m going home to Kona next week…and excited to spend sometime up on the Mauna! But how are tourists feeling about this? Locals? What can we do off island to help? Once on island to help? Have I missed an article? Mahalo plenty!

      Hi Julie.

      The title of the piece is “Sharks in Hawaii: Kauai and Big Island Incidents.” and that is what it is about.

      Aloha.

      Hi Hal.

      Thanks. Looks like you’ll need to pay just over $800 RT on that route in February. No deals that we can foresee. You can buy now (especially for weekend dates) or wait a few months and hope something better materializes.

      Aloha.

      Be sure to bring your time travel shoes if you are attending the Feb 2020 run. You are going to need them….. 🙂

    Who would have thought, two of my most favorite spots: Polehale Beach and Kealakekua Bay!
    This blows me away. We are not safe anywhere, even in paradise.

    I agree with Grant…Good content and SAFETY info with-out over-selling the reader.

    I also have been waiting for Southwest to provide competition to Hawaiian Airlines. I also appreciate the shark warnings as an avid snorkeler. You have a nice website that educates me and helps make decisions on travel arrangements to the islands

    Mahalo,

    We were at Tunnels yesterday morning about 10:30 and they were closing the beach because of a shark sighting. Keep up the great work.

    What type of sharks were they? Besides the attack that happened 30’ off shore, how far off shore were the others?

    Mahalo! Just want to say I love your emails! You give facts and history that not only inform about the subject but also honor The Hawaiian way.
    Keep up the excellent work!
    Aloha
