Rounding out three departments
This week's batch closes out several "next on the board" promises from earlier posts — travel insurance, surf lessons, waterfalls, farmers markets and shave ice were all sitting on the roadmap, and now they're live.
Plan department: travel insurance
Our travel insurance guide covers the three risks actually worth insuring against for a Hawaiʻi trip — medevac coverage matters more here than the trip-cancellation angle most generic travel insurance guides lead with.
Do department: surfing and waterfalls
Two guides that round out the Do department nicely: learning to surf, covering where the actual beginner-friendly breaks are (hint: not the famous ones), and waterfalls by island, including a real flash-flood safety note that's easy to skip past in most generic guides but genuinely matters.
Food department: farmers markets and shave ice
Farmers markets by island covers one reliable market per island and what's actually worth buying. Our shave ice guide gets into why the shaving technique matters more than the flavor list — and why it's "shave ice," not "shaved ice."
What's next
A first-timer sample itinerary for the Plan department, a stargazing and whale-watching guide for Do, and a poke bowl builder's guide for Food are next on the board.
