Plan your activities accordingly
Whether you’re visiting Hawaii simply to have fun in the water or for sightseeing and other adventure activities, you should plan properly. Determine what you want to do and what side of the island your activities are on, how many activities you want to do in a day, and what you should do first, and then divide your time accordingly. Doing so will help you avoid all the chaos that could arise at the last minute.
Planning by what side of the island activities are on is crucial because of traffic and roadways. During peak seasons, 10 miles can take 30+ minutes. With proper planning, you can save a lot of time and spend that time enjoying your water activities. For example, you can leave early from your hotel, so you don’t get stuck in traffic during rush hours. You can also book a custom jeep tour. With these tours, you don’t have to worry about anything, since tour guides will plan your entire trip and they also know short, empty routes to your destination.
Opt for a surf lesson if you’re a beginner
Surfing in the ocean and riding on the waves sounds fun, but you might not be able to do that smoothly if you have never done it. If you want an enjoyable experience and to catch some waves, consider taking our surfing lessons. We provide private one-on-one or group lessons up to 2 hours long. Our professional surf instructors will guide and explain the fundamentals of surfing, reading the surf zone, surfing etiquette, timing, catching the wave, and transitioning from paddling to standing. Oahu has many incredible spots to learn how to surf! Get in touch with us to book your surfing lessons.
