These beautiful islands are so much more than swaying palm trees and white sandy beaches. There is a rich culture, kind spirit, and fierce pride to be discovered while you explore Hawaii. We encourage you to be a respectful visitor to the islands. 

Below are some of our favorite island activities to help guide your adventures here. This isn't an official guidebook or even every single thing there is to see and do here! Simply a few island favorites from some Hawaii locals. Mahalo!
