5/21/2018 0 Comments oahu wanderlust festival 2018In March, I had the opportunity to go my first Wanderlust Festival here on Oahu! Wanderlust Fest is a week long event full of yoga, outdoor activities, workshops and connecting with nature. Each festival has a super fun location in gorgeous areas and resorts. There's some fun experiences that you get to have like going to concerts, cooking classes and enjoying that specific locations local spots and things to do. You can view more pictures from the festival under the Portfolio tab. Fortunately for me, I already had a place to stay and did not have to pay for airfare, as it was in Hawaii. Turtle Bay was were the festival was hosted this year and it is the prettiest resort ever! I attended the event with two fabulous ladies, Bianca and Roxanne, from Girl Get Outside. The way Wanderlust works is they have a lineup with activities, guest speakers, classes, and live music, and it’s up to you to curate your festival experience! The first event we all attended was the Hawaiian Coastal Journey walking tour with the best guide Kahokule’a Haiku. He took us on a two hour cultural and historical nature tour of the walk from the Turtle Bay stables to Kawela Bay Pillbox. We listened to old Hawaii tales and legends. as we walked through he beautiful trail, he told us what each item of nature meant in Hawaiian or as an ancient myth. He was so engaging and I loved talking story with him. Bianca and Roxanne got to go to more events (as I was working and at school) like workshops, yoga and zip-lining at Climbworks Keana Farms. You can read their blog post on what they loved about Wanderlust here. Near the end of the week, all three of us played hooky and I was their North Shore tour guide. We began on Hau'ula Loop Trail, which was down the street from their Airbnb. We then crossed the street to the infamous “Instagram beach” with the fallen palm tree and swings. Afterwards, we drove up to Kahuku to get poke at the Superette. This is across from Kahuku High and it is my favorite poke ever!! Lastly, we finished off our day with pictures and papaya boats from the Sunrise Shack in Sunset.
