Hawai‘i is a great place for sipping cocktails or shopping, but there’s also a lot more to do on the six different islands (including Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i). Here are just a handful of incredible experience­s to get you started on your adventure.

Take a 25- minute flight from Maui to Moloka‘ i for a breathtaki­ng view of Moloka‘ i’s Barrier Reef, before landing to take a guided tour of ancient Hālawa Valley or a guided mule tour down the world’s tallest sea cliffs. Moloka‘i is home to the longest continuous fringing reef and the beautiful Papohaku beach, one of Hawai‘ i’s largest white- sand beaches.

MOUNTAIN TUBING – KAUA‘ I

With developmen­t covering less than 10 per cent of the island, and the law stating that no new building can be taller than a coconut tree, Kaua‘ i would have to be the natural beauty among the Hawaiian isles. Because the island’s tropical interior is inaccessib­le by road, a unique way to access this area is to take to Kaua‘ i’s historic waterways in a mountain tube. It makes for a real water adventure.
