If you’re flying to Hawaii you need to plan your vacation! With so many possibilities to have fun in the sun, here is a look at some popular Hawaii activities you should add to your vacation “to do” list.
Make a splash with Hawaii activities
Hawaii is surrounded by warm clear tropical waters which are teeming with sea life. Why not jump in and go for a swim?! Let’s look at some great Hawaii activities that will get you wet.
Swim with dolphins in the ocean off the shores of Oahu
One of the most incredible oceanic experiences one could have is swimming with dolphins in their natural environment. Nothing compares to seeing these majestic creatures swimming freely in their habitat.
Have a dolphin encounter in their natural habitat on a snorkeling adventure!
If encountering dolphins in the ocean sounds a little “fishy” and you would rather have a more “hands-on” experience, then a dolphin swim at Sea Life Park is for you. Swim with friendly bottle nose dolphins and maybe even score a dolphin kiss!

Snorkel with turtles at the famous reefs of Molokini
The reefs of Molokini Crater are renown for their abundant sea life and excellent diving conditions. Located just off the coast of Maui, a short catamaran cruise will have you swimming with the fishes in no time.
Either explore the Turtle Arches of the Molokini reefs, or go for a dolphin watching cruise after your amazing snorkeling adventure.
Thriving corals, bright colorful fish, and excellent underwater visibility makes diving off Molokini one of the best places to go!

Yes, there is a cage. If you’re looking to get your heart pumping for Hawaii activities, then look no further. Swimming with sharks is probably not on many people’s vacation “to do” list, but for those of you who do have it on your list, I say “go for it!”
