Surfing
|
Hawaii is known as the home of surfing, so expect to see lots of surfer dudes and dudettes catching some waves. But don’t be discouraged! Surf culture is open to everyone who wants to try, and surfers are more than happy to share the waters – as long as you follow some rules! Learn them and the surfing basics at a surf camp or private surf lessons. Plenty of experts are around to help you catch that first wave. Ocean Eco Tours 324-7873 808 Lifestyles329-5035 |
Diving and Scuba
If you can dive, diving in Hawaii is some of the best. In fact, many people get certified just so they can dive in these beautiful waters! Traditional dives showcase the coral reefs and tropical fish, though the truly adventurous might want to try a manta ray night dive! Scuba is a good compromise for those who want more than snorkeling but aren’t willing to go all way down.

Snorkeling
Exploring the reef is one of the must-do activities for any visitor to The Big Island. While deep water diving is a bit much, snorkeling is an activity that is accessible to anyone. Several local shops rent gear, while others offer tours and classes.Boss Frog 331-1990 Snorkel Depot334-1919 |
