Hawaiian Adventure

Heading to Oahu Island? As a tourist, you can do a host of things there. Check some websites for Hawaii hotels and book beforehand to get discounts and deals. Some suggested websites for Hawaii hotels are www.hawaii.live.net and www.hawaii-vacation-hotels.us. You can take a submarine ride and watch some sunken ships and airliners. Get to Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park and enjoy the waterslides. Or take a close look at marine life like sharks, dolphins’ et al at Sea life park. If you are there along with your kids, take them to Honolulu Zoo. Horse rides are available at Kualoa ranch along with kayaks and jet skis. If you are in a mood for adventure and do not mind a broken bone or two, try out hang-gliding from Makapuu Mountains. Of course, the biggest lure of Hawaii is the beaches with activities galore. You can swim, surf, snorkel, boogie board and fish in the untroubled waters (really!). Or you can just laze and watch the sun setting down the horizon.

Close to Waikiki are some museums and galleries The Tennent Art Foundation Gallery below Punchbowl offers enduring works of Madge Tennent, Hawaii’s prominent artist. The Maritime Museum by Aloha Tower has whaling, surfing and voyaging exhibitions. Chinatown in Honolulu is replete with independent galleries. It hosts the First Friday Gallery Walk once every month. You can watch free concerts by the Royal Hawaiian Band at Iolani Palace every week. Free Hawaiian music concerts are also held at Hawaii State Arts Museum every month. Apart from this, you can go for nature walks, wildlife feedings, catamaran sails etc.
