ULOHA Outdoors

Il Ciolo is a funhouse of snorkeling, cliff diving, and climbing on the Adriatic Sea. Mauro and Tomas of Sudest Climb show us how they preserve climbing crags in spite of massive crowds in Southeast Italia.

Kalaupapa, on Molokai’s North Shore, is opening for tours by the National Park Service!

National Park Tours Update

Reserve on recreation.gov:
· Participants must be at least 16 years old.
· Reservation tickets are $20 per person with a $1 non-refundable ticket fee for each reservation.
· Reservations must be completed at least 24 hours in advance.
