After having so much fun visiting LOST related filming sites in Oahu, I knew that I wouldn’t be happy leaving the island unless I got to experience a lot more. Whilst it’s extremely easy to drive around the island seeing the majority of well-known filming locations, I had read online that there were plenty more sites that weren’t available to the general public as they were located on...
I have an obsessive personality. When I say obsessive, I MEAN obsessive. One of my biggest obsessions to date was that of the TV show LOST. I spent hours everyday watching episodes, going on fansites, formulating theories, buying weird LOST related items on eBay – I was totally crazy for the show. And what better way to feed my obsession than by going to see the exact place where LOST is filmed....

After having spent two weeks rushing around visiting Oahu and the Big Island, I was spending my final week in Hawaii relaxing in a small rental home in Napili Bay, West Maui. I was due to go home in just a...
Note: This is a write-up of my 2008 trip to Hawaii. The photos are of a fairly low quality as they are taken from Facebook, due to our camera being stolen whilst on the trip. Everywhere you go in Hawaii there are advertisements to take a helicopter ride over the island. After deciding that this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity that was not to be missed, we decided to take a tour of the Big...
In the winter of 2008, my partner Simon and I ventured on the trip of a lifetime: 3 weeks in Hawaii over Christmas and New Years. The plan was to spend our first week exploring the island of Oahu. We were both major fans of the TV show LOST and planned on spending the first week hunting down filming sites and going on tours of various different sets. Our second week was spent hunting down adventure on the... Posted by .
