In Kaaawa, Honolulu, you could at least stop by some
open-air Italian restaurants an hour after you've hiked the nasty trails. I am usually fascinated with some weird tropical trees and end up removing my LOWA hiking boots so I could climb to pick the fruits. That was when I was backpacking without a tour guide. Also, riding on horseback could be exhilarating sometimes. But I really choose hiking because it lets me explore more.
