You can read a hundred of the “10 Best Activities Hawaii has to Offer” and find as many lists with differing information. This is not because the lists are wrong, it is simply because there are so many amazing activities to do in Hawaii that each list maker can only include their top 10 favorites, which is why there are so many differences. Here are 10 more of the best activities in Hawaii, but they are generalizations that appeal to the general population and tourists heading to the islands for vacation. So, the best thing to do is read this list and rank the activities you like most and call and make reservations before your vacation begins. Then, when you reach the islands you can look around, check out other activities, and either choose more on this list or some of your own. Remember, there are several islands that make up Hawaii and all of them have special activities. The goal is for you to have the most fun possible and enjoy your Hawaiian vacation.

Hawaii Activity #1 Hanauma Bay

Hanauma Bay, on the island of Oahu, boasts an amazing coral reef that is simply out of this world. There are many fish species that call Hanauma Bay and the coral reef their home, which makes for incredible snorkeling. In fact, so many people snorkel at Hanauma Bay that it often gets quite crowded. So, if you want to snorkel at Hanauma Bay you should get there early or find out which days are the slowest in order to enjoy this fabulous experience.



We were on the HI islands in July and as many others, we also went to
Hanauma bay. The parking lot was closed until enough people left to
re-open. After paying our dues we went to the beach and were very
disappointed with the snorkeling. There was so much sand in the water
that you could hardly see 5 feet. Going further from the beach brought
us in a bit clearer water but the waves were bigger and occasionally
made the water flow into the snorkel :-(

We found Hanauma Bay the worst beach we snorkeled during our 3 week
holiday.
The best place was in Maui, South of Kihei. However, we had to hike 30
minutes to get from the car to the water. There was no beach, just
lava rocks, but the fish were fabulous. On top of that, we were there
all alone.... We found that place in a book but apart from that found
no mention of it anywhere......



Bye Maurice

Hawaii Activity #2 Hawaii Volcanoes

The Volcanoes National Park on the main island of Hawaii is out of this world. When you visit this park you will encounter 330,000 acres preserved for hiking and the like, as well as Mona Lau volcano that is dormant and the active, lava flowing Kilauea volcano. You will be impressed to see the red, hot glow of lava oozing out of this volcano. Spend a few hours or even a few days in The Volcanoes National Park.

Hawaii Activity #3 Maui Drive

Take the road from the Kahului Airport all the way to Hana and you will pass over countless bridges, enjoy the beautiful landscape where you will see pineapples growing and proceed through the tropical rainforest where other amazing fruits grow in addition to eucalyptus trees. It takes several hours to make this short drive, but near the end you will be blessed with the vision of black sand beaches that are simply astonishing in their beauty. When you finally end up in Hana you can enjoy excursions to waterfalls as well as great hikes

Hanauma Bay varies from superb to bad. It depends a lot on the tides and
the number of people there. It's usually better in the Winter (October 15 -
May 15) when the heavy surf if pounding the North Shore and when the tide is
going out. In the summertime, I prefer Shark's Cove on the North Shore,
but, it is much smaller. Molokini off Maui is frequently very good. KM
