Hawaii Activities: Tours and Adventures

Brenda Roman asked:


One of the best things about going to Hawaii, having a Hawaiian wedding or a Hawaiian honeymoon is all of the incredible Hawaii activities available. There’s so much to do, you may have a hard time choosing. No problem. One of the easiest ways is to purchase a tour. You’ll get transportation and all of the info you might miss on your own. Here’s a guide to lead you to all of the fun!

Oahu Activities:

Oahu, home to Honolulu and the famous Waikiki Beach, has something for everyone. There’s all the big city shopping and nightlife that you would expect to find, but Oahu is so much more.

Pearl Harbor is available to tour free. You take a short ferry ride to the site. Get there early to avoid the lines. There are jewelry and clothing stores with what you would hope to see in Hawaii. Pearls and brightly colored tropical clothes. Be sure to stop at Hilo Hatties for some coffee and macadamia nut treats.

The luau’s are some of the best the islands have to offer. The Polynesian Cultural Center offers a glimpse into the polynesian culture and don’t miss the dramatic north shore. This is where you will find the big waves and surfers.

Dole Pineapple offers tours in the middle of the island. Be sure to sample some ice cream. There’s also Cirque Hawaii, Diamond Head Volcano and the Bishop Museum.

Maui Activities:

Maui is an incredibly beautiful island and is becoming on of the most popular to visit. The Haleakala Crater, many beautiful waterfalls and great hiking are all very popular. The Sugar Cane Train between Lahaina town and the resorts of Kaanapali have great views of the West Maui Mountains.

The road to Hana is a great and slow paced ride. There are several luaus to choose from. Snorkeling, diving, parasailing and ziplines are all fun, active sports. Whale watching in the winter is probably what Maui is best known for.

Big Island Activities:

The Big island has a lot to offer. It is the biggest island and offers several different temperature zones. A volcano tour is one of the best reasons to come. You can get close and personal with an active volcano. You can either drive and hike in or take a helicopter tour.

The black sand beaches are something you don’t see every day. Kealakekua Bay, Waipio Valley and Mauna Kea are all incredible sights.

Kauai Activities:

Kauai is a much slower pace but, probably one of the most beautiful islands. It’s known as the Garden Isle for a reason. you can take a spectacular helicopter tour over Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. It’s also an incredible drive into the canyon with it’s twisty roads.

There’s the Wailua River cruise in to see the Fern Grotto or mountain tubing. The Na Pali coastline with it’s steep cliffs is best seen by air or water. You can combine it with a snorkeling trip.

Molokai Activities:

Molokai has Hawaii’s tallest waterfall. You can ride a mule down to Kalaupapa or hike deep into a pristine Hawaiian rainforest.

Lanai Activities:

On Lanai you can pamper yourself, go hiking, surfing or rent an ATV. Lanai is all about the incredible beauty.

The Hawaiian Islands offer activities for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you want your Hawaii activities in the middle of a rainforest or a 5 star resort. You’ll be sure to find an activity (or 20) that will please and excite you. Come, explore and rejuvenate your body and soul.
