With the sparkling cobalt Pacific lapping on all sides and lush rainforest covering the land, sometimes it’s hard to believe Hawaii isn’t a mirage. It’s real, and it’s here for everyone to enjoy. From miles of pristine beaches on which to soak up the sun, acres of tropical foliage to explore and the bustling international hub of Honolulu, visiting Hawaii is an enriching experience that everyone should enjoy at least once…or multiple times!
Whether you choose to relax or plunge headfirst into the many exciting outdoor activities Hawaii has to offer, you are sure to leave the islands feeling enlightened by all the natural wonders of mother nature. Snorkeling, kayaking, surfing or hiking are just some of the past times of Hawaii, and are best experienced when coupled with restoration sessions at some of the world-class accommodations of Oahu hotels. After awakening to the sound of waves crashing on the beach, ease into the day with top tier culinary delights amid a laid-back atmosphere. Follow up with an action-packed day of exciting outdoor activities, and cap it all off with a relaxing dinner or cocktails poolside. In Hawaii, we believe the ideal day should come full circle. How will you spend your Hawaiian vacation?
Invigorating Hikes. If you are staying in Honolulu, you can easily escape the noise of the city with nearby hikes. Hoof it up to Diamond Head Crater, one of Oahu’s most recognized landmarks, for stunningly beautiful 360-degree views of the island, or head over to Manoa Falls for a true rainforest experience. Amid the wide variety of native Hawaiian plants and flowers, you’ll end up at an incredibly gorgeous 200-foot waterfall that will leave you speechless.
Shark dive. Do you have a high threshold for thrill? Put your bravery to the test by embarking on one of Hawaii’s most extreme activities- get inside a shark cage and come face to face with some of nature’s most exciting animals! The naturally curious and surprisingly graceful big fish will leave you in awe and with a newfound sense of respect.
Do as the locals do. One of the bedrocks of Polynesian culture, surfing is synonymous with Hawaii. The beginner-friendly breaks of Waikiki are good year-round for safe, reliable waves as well as an abundance of surf schools and board rental shops. Surfed before and want to take it up a notch? Visit the famed North Shore of Oahu for a chance to cut up some of those infamous big waves. Even if you choose to just be a spectator, the lovely small town of Haleiwa is worth the trip for a chance to glimpse some of the awesome power of the Pacific.
Aloha, nightlife! Oahu is the epicenter of vibrant nightlife in Hawaii. Amazing local food, dancing and live music are available every night of the week. Whether you prefer a romantic dining experience under the stars or a fun-filled night of bar-hopping, bustling Waikiki has an extraordinary array of options, and it’s not all found on the main strip. Do a little homework and you may stumble upon some of the up and coming wine bars or jazz clubs infusing Chinatown or Downtown Honolulu.
Restore. There’s nothing like slipping into a little luxury after a long day experiencing all that Hawaii has to offer. Hundreds of resorts and hotels, such as the Modern Honolulu, offer all the amenities and world-class service you have come to expect in Hawaii, conveniently located in close proximity to the excitement of the city as well as unspoiled nature. Come experience the different pace and quality of life in the Aloha state!
