ProBowl Honolulu

The Aloha stadium hosts the NFL's showcase end of season finale between the best players of the National Football and American Football Conferences...It is a true honour for the players to play here as to qualify for the privilege they have to be voted as the best players in their particular position by their peers - the ultimate accolade to their playing prowess!Celebrating its 25th anniversary of being played in Hawai'i, the 2004 Pro Bowl was an action packed 55-52 scorefest won by the NFC...So, if you're in Hawai'i at the time and want to see as many of your heroes as possible at the same time, then come on down! Your ticket, a mountain of junk food and your favourite replica team gameshirt - Bengals of course! ;-)

Take a Dip in the Pool!?

by cjg1

I usually love a resort with a pool but when staying on the beach with the beautiful water why would I want the pool. I can understand the kids loving the pool but we both wanted the ocean and the beach.

Swimming

by cjg1

Swimming is the perfect activity for Oahu. Many of the beaches are calm and perfect for the casual swimmer or the lazy float in the water. As long as you are aware of currents and other warnings such as jellyfish; swimming should be a fun and uneventful experience.

Surfing

by cjg1

Surfing is "BIG" in Hawaii and who can blame them with the awesome surf conditions. Thanks to the legendary Duke Kahanamoku the sport of surfing became so popular. Surfing schools are popping up all over the place especially in Honolulu and Waikiki where tourists are eager to spend some cash to learn how to surf or maybe just manage to stand up on the board for 10 seconds.The true surfers can be seen sleeping on their boards and waiting for that perfect wave out in the water. Whether it's the big waves of the North Shore of the tourist laden Waikiki Beach; you can see surfers everywhere.

Ko'olau: America's Hardest Golf Course! Scary!!

by AKtravelers

Golf Magazine has ranked Oahu's Ko'olau Golf Course as the hardest in the United States at times in the past, though you can rest easy now because it has currently dropped to #3. I know people who routinely shoot in the 70's that struggle to break 100 on this course. So how did I do? Don't ask! The best gauge of my score is that I lost 23 balls!! Yes, ko'olau is hard. Every green is protected by deep bunkers and or water. You drive over huge gulleys, the fairways are narrow and the vacuum-like woods are impenetrable jungle. Hit it straight or never see it again! Often holes are just connected islands of fairway -- too long or too short and good-bye ball. You'll probably have more than one double-digit hole! On the positive side, the course is outstandingly beautiful. Tucked at the base of the Ko'Olau range on the lush windward side, you get ocean and mountain views on almost every hole....

University of Hawaii Football is King! Go!

by AKtravelers

Since Hawaii doesn't have a professional sports team, people go nuts over the University of Hawaii Warriors football squad. During the fall of 2007, the state was completely nuts over the Warriors as Colt Brennan quarterbacked them to a perfect 11-0 season and the championship of the Western Athletic Conference. Despie their Sugar Bowl loss, the team is still feted today. The 2008 version of the team isn't quite so good, but their run-and-shoot offense promises high-scoring games full of excitement. And, the benefit of having a mediocre team is that seats are easy to come by, so if you want to see a game you can always get tickets at the stadium on Saturday afternoon. If this is your first visit to the United States, you definitely should take the opportunity to watch America's most popular sport in person. Even if you don't like games, the tailgating experience (where fans picnic in the...

Aloha Stadium: The Big Venue

by AKtravelers

If you drive west of Pearl Harbor on the H1, you won't be able to miss the big bowl of Aloha Stadium on the makai side of the highway. This is the largest sports complex in the islands and is the home of the NFL All-Star Game (known as the Pro Bowl) every year. It also hosts University of Hawaii foortball games, which can be quite a sight as was shown this year as the Warriors, led by Colt Brennan, went 11-0 before losing in the Sugar Bowl. Finally, Aloha Stadium is home of the recently-inaugurated Pan Pacific soccer tournament, matching club teams from the U.S., Australia and Japan with goals of broader participation in the next few years. The accompanying photos were taken during that tourney, featuring the Los Angeles Galaxy and David Beckham, but won by a team from Osaka.

Surfing lessons

by Nathalie_B

Sure you can go and surf. Nobody will ask if you’ve done it before. And don’t feel embarrassed, because most of the people in the water are NOT standing on the surf boards! I didn’t try it myself, knowing from others that the experience can be painful. So I figured this sport is not for spoiled people like me. But, I definitely enjoyed watching others try to befriend the huge surf board. Actually it can be funny watching people laying on the boards turning them into tanning bench. So, go and try the Hawaiian sport, you won’t look ridiculous, or should I say you won’t be the only ridiculous one

Some of the World's Best Golf Courses

by AKtravelers

Oahu is home of some of the world's best and most beautiful golf courses. I'm not much of a golfer, but their beauty and the nice weather can even tempt me to go out for a round or two. Manyof my friends are serious golfers and they make it a point to play all the courses on the island that they can -- luckily very few are private. Even the best and most challenging, like Luana Hills or Ko'olau (often ranked the hardest course in the U.S. by Golf Magazine) are open to the public. If you need advice on the best way to package a golf tour, you can let me know and I won't be able to help you out at all -- at least not for a year or two. Even then, my taste in golf course may run different than an actual good golfer, since the cut of the fairway matters little to someone who is rarely there. My golfing resembles more Lewis & Clark than it does Tiger Woods. Golf can be expensive if you are a...

Take a Surfing Lesson

by AKtravelers

If you've always had the desire to surf but never tried it, there is perhaps no better place to take a surfing lesson than Hawaii. Oahu has a number of places that will teach you, from the North Shore to Kailua Bay to Waikiki. Waikiki has a number of vendors dotting the beach and this competition results in what seem like the lowest prices for lesons on the island. Of course, Waikiki is also crowded with beginning surfers, which is why the other locations may be worth the extra money. Unfortunately for us, the waves were flat the day we reserved our lessons at Kailua Bay, so we ended up heading to Waikiki anyway. The lesson was fine and I actually had a few rides during which I was confident enough to enjoy the setting -- Diamondhead to the right, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel to the left and Kuhio Beach straight ahead -- what was not to like? The vendor we used was right on the beach by...
