Helicopters, E-Bikes & Hikes: Kauai in One Wild Week Five Parks Life - Travel, Yoga, RVs & Real Life 2026-07-25 | Thirty years ago, Erin and I were two broke kids waiting tables in Hawaii. This week, we came back to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on Kauai, with doors-off helicopters, epic hikes, and a whole lot of nostalgia.The plan was simple: rest and relax on our favorite island. But if you know us, you know that is not exactly how it went. We rode 14 miles on our e-bikes, floated in what just might be America's best pool at Koloa Landing, and walked until our legs gave out.We also could not turn off the creative brain. We filmed an entire yoga class as one continuous journey across seven different Kauai locations, from the sand to the cliffs to the jungle, easily one of the most beautiful things we have ever made. New classes from this trip are linked below if you want to roll out your mat and practice right alongside us.Come along as we explore the lush grounds of the Koloa Landing Resort in Poipu, take a breathtaking doors-off helicopter flight over the Na Pali Coast with Ali'i Air Tours, and hike the rugged, stunning Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. We track down the short rib dish at The Eating House 1849 that Matt has been dreaming about for 30 years, and we laugh at ourselves for booking a 4:45 PM anniversary dinner at The Beach House just to score the best table in the house.Early on our final morning, we headed to Poipu Beach for a beautiful morning sunrise yoga class. Then it is off to Honolulu on Oahu for a sweaty 8-mile walk around Diamond Head crater and a full-circle moment at The Hula Grill, where we waited tables three decades ago. Along the way there is a 13-second iced coffee, a Palm Tree Theory, an update on Matt's shoulder, and a look at what is coming next for Five Parks Yoga. It is funny how the higher you climb, the smaller everything looks, and the bigger it all feels.This is Volume Two for us, the empty-nest chapter, and we believe life is meant to be lived intentionally and to the deepest level possible. We hope this one inspires you to find the beauty right where you are, and maybe gives you the nudge to start a journey of your own.One question before you go, and we read every single one: is there a place that holds your history the way Hawaii holds ours? Tell us in the comments. And if you are new here, subscribe and come along, because we are just getting started.We are so glad you are on this ride with us.— Erin & Matt*Learn Everything about Five Parks Life*https://FiveParksLife.com*Yoga Classes Filmed During This Episode:*youtu.be/HUplvlw8cxw?si=lN5RGJqc3j-jWmdaLocation: Poipu Beach - Kauai, Hawaiiyoutu.be/evnjjtXJTTs?si=Tym20i6JLBsmKPpXLocation: 7 locations along the Kauai coast*Enjoyed the Music?
