When you choose to travel to Oahu, you are choosing to spend a bit of time in paradise. One of the best ways to discover all of the islands, is by getting out into the open, by getting active and participated in any number of the activities that are available to you. Some days that may just mean a hike through the tropical forests or a walk on the beach, while other days you may choose to see a bit more at once by renting a bicycle or a moped.
There are guided tours and Jeep tours, but some may choose to take their own time, follow their own path, and this is one great way to do so. Should you be staying on another island, such as Lanai, hotels will offer information about where to go to find the rentals. Taking your time out on the water, is of course, one of the many reasons people travel to the islands. A great way to experience the water for those who do not necessarily want to swim, is by taking a lunchtime or a dinner cruise on a catamaran. This is a relaxing way to get out onto the water and a great way to experience the flavors of island cooking.
For those with a bit more energy, there are canoes and kayaks available as well. They are a bit more work, and for some this is just fine. But really, what would big island vacations be without a bit of snorkeling or scuba diving. Hanuama Bay is one such place that is extremely popular with the underwater crowd. The Bay is set within the cove created by a now inactive volcano. There is a variety of marine and underwater plant life in this bay, and the protection offered by the walls of the volcano make this a great spot for those who are either new to snorkeling or to those who may be a little nervous. The coral reef is stunning, and the colors of the fish? Well, do not forget your camera should you decide to take a dive in Hanauma Bay. Do not forget your camera no matter which avenue you take for exploring the islands.
