Zodiac Raft

by jenbkr

Great trip on a zodiac raft through Hawaii Tours, jump on a zodiac and check out lava tubes, blow holes, caves and whales if you are there in January. It' a fourteen mile tour along the coast of Kona. We stopped at Catain Cook's and had an awesome lunch and snorkeled. When we arrived at Captain Cook's we anchored and then out of no where bam a whale ten feet away from the boat. Great time. The captain of the boat.. Yes his name was Jack!!! Dared me to eat some strange clam like thing off a rock inside a cave and I did it!!!! He was the greatest tour operator on the island!

Scuba Paradise

by diver-x

So far, my favorite place to dive in Hawaii is on the Big Island, at Honaunau or Place of Refuge. It's a very popular spot but there's a reason for it: It's absolutely beautiful underwater! It's an interesting dive if you swim to the right with tons of fish and invertibrates to see and interesting coral formations. But if you swim to the left, you're in for a real treat. The pristine, towering, coral fingers go on and on as far as the eye can see, which that day was at least 120+ feet! Then there's a drop off that looks like it goes down for thousands of feet - you can't see the bottom. Words can't describe how incredible it looks. You have to see it yourself.

Free Tennis With the Condo

by deecat

While staying for a month at The Mahana Condominiums on Kaanapali Beach in Maui, we were able to use the tennis courts for free. We certainly took advantage of that "perk". Allan and I played together several times, and Allan played doubles with other men, most of whom were younger than he. However, he usually won the games. He is a "scrappy" player; he lets no shot go by!We were even able to play at night because the courts had lights.They were excellent hard courts, and we enjoyed playing on them. Good pair of tennis shoes.Tennis Racket.Tennis Balls.Tennis shorts.Hat with a bill.Sun Glasses.Shirt with Collar.Water Bottled filled with cold water.

For "The Well-Heeled Golfer"

by deecat

At the Maui Ritz-Carlton Kapalua Resort there are 54 championship holes of golf available, for a price. There is also a fine Golf Academy on the property. While we walked around exploring the resort, we took this photograph of one of the golf holes. We inquired about golf, and, not surprisingly, discovered that the cost was quite prohibitive for us. We would have to rent clubs, buy a glove, balls, a shirt with a collar and golf shoes. We could not even afford the price of a round of golf, any yet all the equipment. So, we passed. But, for those of you with money, go for it! They are fantastic courses. Needed to golf on these courses:1. Money2. Golf Clubs3. Golf glove and spikeless golf shoes4. Proper attire: shirt with collar and slacks or a pair of shorts that reach just above the knee.5. Plenty of golf balls and teesIt's best to golf in Hawaii in the early Fall or late Spring because...

Pro Bowl

by blurryguy

Every year the Pro Bowl is held in Hawaii at the Aloha Statium. Tail gate parties are held by fans in the parking lot the morning of the game and after but mostly before. Here is a picture of the cheerleaders Do to Sept 11 2001 you really can't bring in much

Grab your sticks

by Ike_2005

The golfing in Hawaii is the best I've ever seen. I usually played the military courses which I recommend Navy/Marine, Barbers Point, and Hickam golf courses. For those that can't get to the military courses, I recommend Waikele Country Club and Pearl City Country Club. You can't beat the weather for golfing in Hawaii, and for the military, you can't beat the price. You can rent and buy everything you need at the club houses.

Kayaking on many of the Hawaiian Islands

by RoseAmano

There many areas among the islands where you can rent kayak and gear for a few islands along a river or where river meets the beach. This photo was taken in northern Oahu. Kauai also has excellent places as well.Good exercise for the arms, too, especially if you are in a hurry to return the rental gear before deadline ;-)

Hike and Bike

by terps94

While we're in Waikiki we decided to become a little adventurous but horse back riding is out of the question. So we decided to sign up for a downhill bike and waterfall hike tour. The bike portion is pretty easy but you get to see some beautiful sight.The bike tour guide is John Alford who wrote books about mountain biking in Hawaii. The 2 mile hike is very pretty , our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Unfortunately the waterfall wasnt flowing that good because of lack of rain but all in all this tour is awesome. The tour company offers more challenging bike tours and hiking for those who wants more strenous workout. The bike is provided by the company and same with the hiking boots.

Scuba Diving with Aloha Dive Shop

by claire1821

Every little things is done to help you to be secure and happy with your diving.You will not have to take all the equipment to the boat, just the necessary (fines, mask and gear) every other things like the BCD or bottles are already in the boat.Instructors put your BCD and bottle on your shoulders, you just have to do a big giant leap and you are already in the water.Two boat locations : Koko Craters and Turtle Canyon where you can see turtles, rays, eels, colourful fishes like moray idols.. they provide everything.

Ramping was never so much fun!

by TropicGirl77

Thanks to another VT'er, (bigern) I checked up on the skateboard facility on Hickam AFB. I'm not into seeing the kiddos get hurt, so I usually watch long enough for them to show off their skills, and move on! There is a pond, and pit, and many other ramps in the open. One fee of $5 keeps you there until they close down for the evening ... Bring your own equipment! They do have rental gear, but be warned ... they have an aweful odor about them!!! You can use the ramps with skateboard and blades, and even some ramps can be used for scooters and bicycles.
