Sport HawaiiWow!
Hawaii has an amazing variety of sports for your vacation
Thanks to the gorgeous weather, year-round warm temperatures and ocean all around, Hawaii is a sports paradise.
There's a sport or activity for everyone. If you can't find something to do here, forgetaboutit.
If you are into golf, you probably brought your clubs and are ready to hit the courses on Oahu as soon as you get off the plane.
For the kid in you and your kids, there's mountain tubing on Kauai. Or hop on a bicycle there as well as the islands of Maui, Ohau and Hawaii.
Other mountain sports include the
ancient Hawaiian sport of holua,
mountain surfing, which is making
a comeback. Also, there is snow skiing,
but because of the hazards the Hawaii
Ski Club does not sponsor trips anymore.
If you like to zip along, you can't beat
riding the backcountry of Maui, Oahu,
Hawaii and Lanai on an ATV. And if you
really like to zip, there are real ziplines
for flying over mouintain valleys and through rainforests on Maui, the Big Island and Kauai, twelve in all.
If that sport doesn't make you scream, then take a ride on the Honolulu Screamer or ply the waters on a jet ski or take to the air for parasailing on Oahu, the Big Island and Maui. For a sport that is available on those islands plus the islands of Kauai, Lanai and Molokai, try kayaking.
Like to fish? Sport fishing boats can take you off Oahu and the Big Island. Or you can go offshore Oahu for the sport of night fishing for sharks.
If you want to get into the water, there's the sport of snorkeling to see the wonders under the Hawaiian waters off the main tourist islands plus Lanai.
And what about the all-time favorite Hawaiian sport of surfing? All you need is a board and away you go. But if you need lessons, you've come to the right islands to learn not only surfing, but also windsurfing, kitesurfing, surf kayak and stand-up paddling.
That's not all.
