Things to Do on a Hawaii Vacation

Hawaii is a popular location for tourists to visit from all over the world and one of the many reasons they continue to return to Hawaii is the outdoor sports opportunities. From scuba diving to hang gliding, Hawaii offers soaring mountain peaks, dense, lush jungle and beautiful clear waters, all waiting to be explored. Every island in Hawaii's chain offers a different, exciting active adventure.

Molokai Ocean Kayaking

Molokai, the most natural of the Hawaiian islands, offers almost 30 miles of continuous reef, the longest stretch in American waters. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, Molokai Outdoor Activities offers a complete adventure, including kayaking inside the reef, weather-permitting, as well as snorkeling and watching for whales and other aquatic life. Molokai Outdoor Activities also offers motor tours, hiking, horseback riding and deep sea fishing.

Oahu Skydiving

Soar over Oahu's dense jungles in a scenic flight to 14,000 feet and then take the plunge. Extreme Hawaii Sports offers tandem jumps, pairing you with a veteran skydiver who will guide you from the ground, through the air, and safely back down to the ground again. Spend up to a minute in free fall and then up to five minutes suspended from your parachute as you drift back toward Hawaii's famed North Shore. Transport is available from some area hotels, and professional photography can be added to your package.
