A malasada is sort of like a doughnut without the hole. Leonard's Bakery in Honolulu is one of Private Tours Hawaii's favorites for this local delicacy. Leonard’s fry generously-sized balls of dough until the crust is golden brown with a light and fluffy inside. "Because our dough is made with the finest ingredients, you get a malasada with a sweet toasted flavor, both crunchy and chewy. Ono, as we say here in Hawai’i!"

It is not known exactly when the first pineapple came to the Hawaiian Islands. Pineapple translates into “halakahiki,” or foreign fruit, in Hawaiian. "Francisco de Paula Marin, a Spanish adventurer who became a trusted advisor to King Kamehameha the Great, successfully raised pineapples in the early 1800s. A sailor, Captain John Kidwell, is credited with founding Hawaii’s pineapple industry, importing and testing a number of varieties in the 1800s for commercial crop potential. But it wasn’t until James Drummond Dole arrived in the islands that the pineapple was transformed from an American symbol of friendship and exotic locales into an American household staple." A few things you should know about pineapple plants:
And interestingly enough, a pineapple can be grown (under correct conditions) by simply twisting off the crown of a mature pineapple fruit and planting it in the soil! For more information about this modern Hawaiian favorite, visit the Dole Pineapple plantation website. Manana Island is located off the southeastern shorelines of the island of Oahu in the Hawaiian Island Chain. Manana translates into "buoyant" in the Hawaiian language. The unique volcanic rock formation is also known as Rabbit Island. It gets this distinction from a one-time very large population of rabbits that inhabited the island. These animals are not native to the island and were introduced by a local farmer from the area back in the 1800's. The population of rabbits grew rapidly (as rabbits do) and soon had to be eradicated when they began to jeopardize the island's local ecosystems. Some say it also got the name Rabbit Island from its resemblance to a rabbit's head!! Regardless of how the island received its name, the fact is that it serves as an absolutely beautiful backdrop while looking north from the most southeastern point of Oahu at Makapu'u Point Lookout.
