If you didn’t plan ahead, you are now scouring Google searching how to sneak into Haena State Park and how to hike the Kalalau Trail without a permit. These are both things that we searched for and found nothing, which is why I am currently writing this article. We talked to locals, read the comments on the articles that we did find, and tried to find out as much information as possible about getting past the guards at Haena State Park. The answer was all the same, that we could not get into the park without a permit. We are here to tell you that you absolutely can, and we did just that!

American Express Platinum Card Benefits Ranked from Best to Worst

by Brad 03/01/2019

written by Brad

I have read too many articles about American Express Platinum card benefits that are incomplete. Nobody is willing to list out all of the benefits, they are just showing you the cherry picked benefits, which is great, but doesn’t paint the full picture. If you travel a lot, and spend moderately, this may be the card that you are looking for.

You have come here to find the best waterfalls of Bali Indonesia, and that is what you will find. Truthfully, there are hundreds, if not thousands of waterfalls in Bali. Some of them are truly off the grid, and some of them have easy access. We stumbled upon a video that was created by Bali Go Live, which is essentially a tourism guide website and YouTube channel to help people navigate the country of Indonesia. In this case, they helped us find Bali’s best waterfalls. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will find their video of the best waterfalls of Bali.

Hikes Travel Tips

Do Not Hike the Koko Head Stairs in the Middle of the Day

I repeat, do not hike the Koko Head stairs in the middle of the day! Ok, maybe I am being a bit dramatic, but I want to help you have the most enjoyable time that you can on the Koko Head Trail. This trail has many names, such as the Koko Crater Railway Trail, Koko Head Trail, Koko Head Stairs, etc…, but they are all the same trail. Essentially, you hike up what was once an old supply railway for the barracks that were at the top of Koko Head. This seems simple enough, but for the unprepared, this is a tough hike.

If you have been following us on Instagram recently, you know that Earth Off The Grid is dedicated to sharing travel photos of places that we have visited. As our following grew, so did our realization that we have the opportunity to share more than just pictures. To provide a little background on us, we are a husband and wife team that met in 2015 and was married in June 2018. Our interest in travel and adventure was there from the start, and our love for unique places had us adventuring regularly. After getting married, we started going international more, and now we have a worldwide trip scheduled to start in June 2019. This sounds great to us, but what does that mean for you, our readers? Being our first post, we wanted to highlight the things to expect from Earth Off The Grid.
