What to do in Hawaii
Peppering the Pacific Ocean with emerald-hued isles that play home to wild coastlines, fiery volcanoes, and pristine palm-fringed beaches; Hawaii offers a reset button like nowhere else on earth. From Nāpali Coast to Haleakala National Park, think of any thrill-seeking activity and the Aloha State can deliver. Coastal safaris, skydives, canyon hikes, zip-lines, helicopter rides, and zodiac tours. Keep scrolling for some fresh inspiration.
A doors-off helicopter tour of Kauai
What better way to kickstart your first day on Kauai than with an adrenaline-pumping helicopter tour over the island? After meeting with your pilot for a safety talk, you’ll make a beeline for the iconic Hanapepe Valley, Olokele Canyon, and Waimea Canyon (known as the Grand Canyon on the pacific). Next up is Manawaiopuna Falls – the filming spot for Jurassic Park – and only accessibly via helicopter, so we’ll give you some time to get your cameras ready. Finally, you’ll reach the wettest place on earth at Mount Waialeale and descend into the centre of its crater, with 5,000-foot walls towering above, and 3,000-foot waterfalls surrounding you.
Sunrise Haleakala bike ride
From Hotel Wailea on Maui Island, you’ll have an early wake-up call as you head up to the peak of Haleakala for an unbeatable sunrise from Haleakala Summit. The dormant shield volcano of Haleakala, also known as ‘the house of the sun’ towers over Maui, and is an unmissable experience in our eyes. At an impressive 6,500 feet high, we’ll give you a guided tour of the park, before saddling up for a 23-mile sunrise bike ride. Kitted out with all the equipment, enjoy uninterrupted views as the sun clambers higher into the sky as you ride down the tallest peak on the island.
