One of the best waterfalls in Hawaii is not a single waterfall at all, but rather a series of them. Today’s photo shows just some of the falls that make up Umauma Falls. The falls are located on private property. We got to see them because we went ziplining over them through The Umauma Experience. At nearly $200 a head, this isn’t a cheap way to spend a morning or afternoon, but it was totally worth it.

Japan’s “Olympian Dream Fishing Club” member, Mari Arakawa, caught a 623 pound Pacific Blue Marlin.

While hanging out near our hotel yesterday we heard them begin to announce the biggest fish caught in the 55th Annual Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament from the nearby Kailua Pier. Soon after arriving we were able to see the largest marlin every caught in the history of the tournament by a woman.
