Top Five Things to Do in Hawaii

Hawaii is an incredible destination for romance. Whether for your honeymoon or anniversary celebrations, Hawaii is hard to beat. It has all the convenience of being part of the USA, with all the exotic charm of the islands. You won’t be bored in Hawaii. There is always something for everyone. Some couples want to explore together. They love being active together (even if some days are set aside for pool-lounging). For those who want to experience the world together while cherishing each other, Hawaii won’t disappoint. You can do as much or as little as you want, but with some many incredible things to do, we highly recommend you go beyond the hotel borders.

Hawaii is famed for its landscapes. It’s a hikers paradise and an explorers dream. You can find hidden water falls, slow drive a snaking coastline, feel the sea spray as you zip along in a zodiac boat to watch jagged cliffs speed by, or fly in an open-door helicopter to jungle spots where the roads don’t go. Each island is made up of different climates and experiences that are never too far away. You can go from a spectacular sunrise over barren volcanic other-worldly craters to a snorkel among playful sealife in the same day. With a temperate climate, it’s easy to want to be outside and soak up all Hawaii has to offer.

Hawaii is a melting pot of cultures, people, and food. Its patchwork history brings together a fusion of flavours unique to the islands. Foodies will have no problem finding some of the best cuisine in the world from globally famous chefs. Whether the simple delights of shaved ice, the iconic luau, the rustic flavours of farm-to-table slow food, or the legendary food trucks, you won’t go hungry. And you can’t leave without at least trying the Spam.

Island time is real. Winding roads and mountain switchbacks mean traffic is slower. The landscape forces you to appreciate it. It invites you to stay. The outdoors trumps smartphones and the time change means work will have to wait. With so much to explore, you can be picky with your time and spend it on your favorite things with your favorite people. Hawaii is a great place to savor life. There’s enough time to actually make memories.

The history of Hawaii is worth experiencing. You can pay your respects at Pearl Harbor. You can step back in time to see petroglyphs or hear the stories of ancestors who first found the islands. You can learn about the royalty that ruled a beautiful people and place. You can explore the cultures that now welcome you into their ohana, their family. You can see how East met West and brought together a fusion of flavors and cultures that remains today. Hawaii does not feel like just another State. Its history has carved it to truly have a sense of place like no where else you’ve been.

Hawaii offers some unique experiences that are truly memorable. Helicopter rides? Check. Horseback riding into hidden sacred valleys? Check. Water slide down old plantation runs? Check. Night snorkel with stingrays? Check. Learn to surf on hallowed ground? Check. Mountain-top stargazing? Check. Volcano exploring? Check. Dole Whip? Check. Pretend you are in Jurassic Park? Check.

If you want to check something off the list, this is the place to do it.
