HIKING

The Kukui Trail
This 5-mile (round trip) trail drops 2,000 feet into spectacular Waimea Canyon, and offers the shortest route to the canyon floor. There's a large swimming hole at the bottom. The trail begins off the Iliau Loop Trail.

The Kuilau Ridge Trail
This 4.2-mile (round trip) hike offers dramatic views of small waterfalls and a wealth of flora. The trailhead is about a mile beyond the University of Hawaii Agricultural Experimental Station on Route 580.

The Kalalau Trail
This is the original Hawaiian trail into Kalalau Valley, and offers dramatic views of Na Pali Coast and Kee Beach. It begins at Kee Beach where Highway 56 ends. Two miles inland is Hanakapiai Falls, which cascades 300 feet to a pool below. The trail travels on to Kalalau Valley, and many hikers camp overnight at Hanakapiai and before continuing on the next day. The entire trip is best made by experienced hikers.

The 'altar' is the most representative part of the traditional celebration of the Day of the Death. Its purpose is to act as a beacon for the souls of the those who've departed and who journey back into the realm of the living on the eve of November 2nd. It is customary to include everyday objects that were part of the lives of the relatives beings honored as part of these altars, also called offerings-ofrendas.
The elements of the altar represent the four elements in nature.
Earth represented by the flowers and fruits.
Wind represented by the tablecloths and the cut out tissue paper – papel picado.
Fire represented by the candles.
Water represented by itself.

surf line's break information
Though Z-Wat is only host to a couple mediocre waves (Los Gatos and Punta Desanso)
there are quite a few waves near Zihuatanejo. From El Faro (a thumping beachbreak at the jetties in Lazaro Cardenas) in the north to the stetch of beachbreaks south of Papanoa, the area has a wide variety of waves on offer. Longboarders should definitely hit the left-hand point at La Saladita, where long paddles are rewarded with minute-long waves at this Malibu-in-reverse-like setup. Solitary surfs are possible at spots like Barra de Potosi and the beachbreaks around Tenexpa. Lots of exploring to do.

Zihuatanejo

Playa Las Gatas – when the swell is just right, the waves off the Las Gatas rocky point can be perfect for a good ride – though being so close to town, it can get crowded
Playa Madera – though totally within Zihuatanejo Bay, Playa Madera can put up some surf during the summer season – another convenient spot
Playa Escolleras, Ixtapa – right on Ixtapa’s main beach, Playa el Palmar, next to the rock jetty

North of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo

Playa Linda – Local rivermouth/point at the northern end of Ixtapa’s 2nd hotel zone
Troncones Beach – 3 miles of beach and point breaks only 1/2 and hour north of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo
Playa Manzanillo – Half Moon bay with hollow lefts, located at the northern end of Troncones Beach. Caution: rocks and urchins.
Playa La Saladita – The best longboard wave ever, north of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

South of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

Juluchuca, Loma Bonita and La Barrita – Beach breaks located near Petatlan to the south of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo.

Surfing st martin

According to Wannasurf.com

Atmosphere

Locals are great, but be prepared to speak combat English/French to find out what you need. Cost for board rental and a boat ride is $18US.



Garbage Heap

Park your car - Locked - at the garbage dump area. You should be able to see other cars there unless you are there really early. Park it along the beach area. There are plenty of breaks there too if the swell is right.

Atmosphere

If you find yourself in St. Marten with a surfboard in tow, definitely go to this spot. There is only on surf shop, which I luckily found. Explore the island, head up to the north, and hike out for the day. There is nothing like surfing with some friendly locals and catching some warm water waves. Ripping good time! Most people don't think that this island has anything other than women and booze, but the surf is a hit!

General

If I had the chance to live on the beach, this is the place I would do it! You can see the untouched beauty of the island in the distance and feel the warm Caribbean Sun throughout the surf session. What else can be better?



Wilderness
This spot is on the French Side of Saint Martin, all the way to the north. You have to take a car from Green Cay up to the north on the outer road until you come to a garbage dump site. You will travel through some construction on your way there and the dump site is where you park. There will be a trail leading from the north side of the beach out along a point and then west to the surf spot. Take the trail for about 15 to 20 minutes until you see the waves breaking to your right. There should be a surf shack on the beach made of sticks, 2x4s, and other odds and ends. Great hidden spot with awesome view!

. Hit the north side of the island, ask for directions to the dump, and the surfers are friendly enough to point you in the right direction if you have made it this far.

English (Translate this text in English): For those who say there isn't surfing in St. Martin, they are wrong. This is a hidden but excellent spot if you are looking for some freedom from the Puerto Rican crowds. Take a small jumper plane to the island and rent a car. Hit the north side of the island, ask for directions to the dump, and the surfers are friendly enough to point you in the right direction if you have made it this far.

Local favorite! Definitely recommend it if you visit the island and have your board with you. There is only one surf shop on the island and they were friendly enough to show me the spot. Use windguru.com to determine the swell and wind direction - makes for a better experience. Just sitting in the water in the tropical surroundings was enough for me to enjoy!

Little caye- departure fromgrandes-cayes (15 minutes walk to reach the spot). Be careful at the entrance: (coral + sea urchins). (Swell direction: NNO)

Galeon Bay: it is THE beginners spots: closed bay, with an easy wave acces (300 m of paddling for warming up!). Ideal to learn (Swell direction: E)

Friar bay: a good intermediate spotl. You will find a beach break wave (good for mini malibu on the left) and a reff break (faster). (Direction NW)

Plum Bay: the perfect wave for mini-malibu and boogie boards. This long wave works by NW swell Cupe Coye: very fast wave located on the southcoast. For confirmed surfers (Orientation: SW)

Mullet Bay: A very beautiful wave which works by swell of W
