24 Hours in Hawaii: Surfing Safari

Of course tropical heat means keeping hydrated is essential if want to stay alert. Always carry a bumper bottle of water around to sip from throughout the day – you can’t go wrong with Pump® to keep you cool and refreshed.

 

7am: Start the day with a stroll along Kaanapali Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Maui (although there are so many amazing spots, it’s a hotly contested title).

 

8am: Head out from the island of Maui to the stunning Molokini crater for a spot of snorkelling. This picturesque underwater paradise will have you entranced for most of the morning.

 

1pm: Grab lunch at a seafood restaurant on Maui. Mama’s Fish House is highly recommended – this restaurant was opened in 1973 and is the place to go for amazing seafood, beautifully presented meals and an ever changing menu. Find out more here

 

2pm: Make your way to Kahalu'u Beach Park on Hawaii (also known as the Big Island) for a two hour surf lesson. This will help you master the basics so you can rides the waves with confidence. Find more information here 

 

5pm: Got the hang of surfing? Head back to Maui for another Hawaiian favourite – windsurfing! Take a private lesson (info here) to get you going like a pro. Just don’t forget your sunblock with all this time on the water!

 

6pm: After all that activity in the water you’ll be feeling shattered. Head to Flatbread for delicious wood-fired clay oven pizzas. This restaurant serves local organic produce and has a community focus that includes donating part of every Tuesday night’s sales to charity.

 

8pm: Hawaii has amazing natural volcanoes and a helicopter tour is the best way to check them out. If you’re lucky you’ll be entranced by the vibrant lava flowing from Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island. Even if it’s not showing, this is still an incredible experience.

 

9pm: After all that energy and exertion you’re probably feeling shattered. Head to a spa for a good dose of pampering to see to all that water wrinkled skin. Elements Spa & Salon do out of hours appointments by arrangement, so stop into see one of their qualified massage therapists.
