Hawaii’s gorgeously blue waters are famous around the world. When you visit the island chain, take advantage of the many ocean activities available to make your tropical travel experience that much more memorable.

5 Must-Try Water Activities In Hawaii

1. Snorkeling

Explore under the sea when you go snorkeling in Hawaii. The ocean in this section of the expansive Pacific is home to a variety of tropical fish, coral, and other marine life such as sea turtles and spinner dolphins, many of which you won’t find anywhere else on the planet. Some snorkeling adventures will even take you through lava tubes and sea caves. 

2. Kayaking

Take in Hawaii’s spectacular landscapes from a kayak if you’d rather stay above water. Many kayaking tours in Hawaii venture into secluded bays and lagoons, and include tours of ancient cultural sites. Some feature hiking to complete your adventure.

3. Surfing

Hawaii is known as a surfer’s paradise. If you’ve never tried the sport before, nearly every beach has a school. You can also work your legs, arms, and core with stand-up paddleboarding, or try out skimboarding, which allows you to coast over wave breaks.

4. Scuba Diving

Dive deeper into Hawaii’s clear oceans with scuba diving. Not only will you enjoy more views of the stunning marine life, but also get to visit shipwrecks depending on where you dive. If you go diving on the famous North Shore, for example, you will come face to face with wrecks such as the Sea Tiger and a WWII Corsair fighter.

5. Whale Watching

See migrating humpback whales when you travel to Hawaii between November and May. If you’re lucky, you’ll witness the gigantic creatures breach the water and come back down with thunderous splashes.
