Eco-Tours add outdoor adventure to your Hawaiian Vacation

October 20, 2016 by Emily Steele

Hiking Hawaii's beautiful mountains.

Add something unique to your Hawaiian vacation with a guided eco-tour. These off-the-beaten path outdoor adventures allow for an exploration of Hawaii’s flora and fauna.

Spinner dolphinsOn Oahu, head out in search of dolphins from the leeward coast. As you sail, enjoy the salty air and splash of the sea, all the while keeping your eyes peeled for Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins. Take a break from all that sailing with a snorkel at one of Oahu’s best snorkelling sites, rife with tropical fish and sea turtles. Truly the perfect introduction to the ocean life of the islands!

The most active volcano in the world, Kilauea is undoubtedly a highlight on the island of Hawaii. Go on a hunt for flowing lava with a guided twilight hike across the lava rocks. Continue your adventures on the island with another evening experience and go snorkelling or scuba diving with the majestic (and friendly!) Manta Rays in Keauhou Bay as they feed on plankton in the wee hours.

Get a different take on one of Maui’s most famous roads — hike the valleys, rainforests, and waterfalls of the Road to Hana with a scientific guide. With guides ranging in knowledge from a marine biologist, wildlife biologist, botanist, and whale expert, you’re sure to get a one of a kind experience.

Feel the fresh air blowing as you bike the 12 miles downhill from the top of Waimea Canyon on Kauai. The “Grand Canyon” of the Pacific is a staggering 3,600 feet above sea level. With experienced guides who share their knowledge of Hawaiian history, culture, and legends, as well as lots of stunning photo opportunities, this is one tour that should not be skipped!

A trip to the isles isn’t complete with a swim in the pool of a waterfall! Molokai, also known as the “Friendly Isle,” has some of the most gorgeous hiking and secluded falls on the islands. Experience the natural beauty of Halawa Valley as you hike to Moaula Falls. Take a dip in the clear water to cool yourself down!

Wherever you end up in Hawaii, there’s always a bit of nature to be explored!

Exploring the Islands: Kailua on Oahu

Beautiful Kailua Beach - great for walking, swimming and kayaking.

Away from the bustle of Honolulu and the hula skirts of Waikiki, lies the not-so-sleepy beach towns of Kailua and Lanikai. Just a short 30 minute drive from Honolulu, these neighboring towns boast some of the prettiest beaches in the islands as well as a healthy dose of small town charm.

Start your day in Kailua Town with a jar of iced coffee at Chadlou’s and an Acai bowl from Lanikai Juice. Feel like a local as you peruse the funky boutiques and don’t forget to grab a picnic lunch from Whole Foods!

When you’re ready for a bit of sun and sand, rent a bike or walk the 15 minutes from the town center to the white sands of Kailua Beach. Perfect for adventuring as well as relaxation, Kailua Beach’s proximity to three off-shore islands make it a great place to begin a kayak expedition. Paddle out to Flat Island for a shorter trip or, if you fancy something a bit further afield, head to the Mokulua Islands (or “The Mokes”). These twin islands to the East of Kailua Beach offer pristine beaches and snorkeling spots for those who make the journey! Don’t forget to stash a picnic in your kayak and enjoy it on your adventure.

Canoes line Lanikai Beach, the Pillbox trail takes you to the top of the mountain in the distance.
Outrigger canoes line Lanikai Beach. The Lanikai Pillbox trail takes you to the top of the mountain in the distance.

If you’re up for a bit of a sweat-session away from the Beach, wander further east to the trail-head of the Lanikai Pillbox hike. A beginner-to-intermediate hike with a fairly steady initial incline, it takes between 1 – 1.5 hours to complete. Don’t let that deter you though! You’ll often find kids of all ages enjoying the trail. Once you reach the unused WWII Bunkers at the top, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the ocean on one side and the Koolau Mountains on the other. It’s also the perfect choice for an early morning hike — the views of the sun rising over The Mokes are unforgettable.

Finish off the day with a cocktail or two at local hot-spot Buzz’s Steakhouse. Be sure to ask for outdoor seating so you can enjoy the sunset from the lanai!
