Islands of Hawaii

Famous for its surfing beaches,
Mai Tai's & world famous shopping, Hawaii is a destination on top of
many people's travel lists. Among the many reasons why so many
people choose Hawaii, adventure touring is high up on my list. You
can do almost everything here which range from parasailing to
volcano safaris to surfing lessons on Waikiki beach. Below is my
story of my Hawaii adventure.
Shark Diving is one of my favorite adventure activities and located
on the North Shore of Oahu's island you can jump in the water with a
large school of Galapagos sharks. These mid depth sharks follow the
sounds of fishing boats in hope of a free feed and the sound of any
boat within these waters will bring the predators to the surface.
Underwater it is such a surreal experience watching these sharks
coming within centimeters of the cage and from all directions.
Depending on the day you can see around 20 of these sharks around
the cage and the boat.
Hawaii's marine life doesn't stop at just sharks, dolphin swims are
very popular whether you are swimming with a wild pod of dolphins or
taking a visit to Honolulu's Sea Life Park. At this marine park the
dolphin swim includes a kiss and cuddle from the dolphins which
makes for great photos but you also get to have a play around with
them too. Getting a dorsal tow from two of the dolphins and being
pushed across the surface of the water are just some of the
activities that you can do with these beautiful creatures. Of all
the tours in Hawaii that you can do this one is what will make all
your friends and family envious. Within the park there are other
species of marine life such as penguins, sea lions, sea turtles,
stings rays and other tropical reef fish. In the reef tank you can
put on something like a space helmet and actually walk through the
aquarium and hand feed the friendly Eagle Ray. The sea trek is
probably the most unique adventure activity I have ever experienced.
If you are after unique tours and experiences then another activity
to consider is the Atlantis Submarine. Submerging down to 104ft
below the water's surface to ship and plane wrecks is a wondrous
experience. Among the wrecks many reef fish such as Butterfly Fish,
Amberjack's, Porcupine Puffer-fish as well as Sea Turtles, reef
sharks and if you're lucky you may see humpback whales in season. At
104ft below the reefs looks other worldly among the wrecks but on
the contrary the wrecks provide shelter so this delicate eco system
can thrive.
Hawaii is a place of unlimited adventure, excitement and fun for the
whole family. The activities here are no like no other place on
Earth so don't miss out on booking some sort of adventure tour. Here
I have just given you some ideas of adventure tours but there are
many others such as Whale Watching, Kualoa Ranch, Pearl Harbour,
Kayaking tours, Snorkelling and many more.
