Introduction What to book in Hawaii besides tours ranges from a gift basket to a morning at a blacksmith’s forge. Not everyone wants another boat or bus. Some guests want a gift basket sent ahead, a massage where they are staying, or a class where they make something to take home. Blue Hawaiian Activities books […]

Introduction A Pearl Harbor day trip from Maui or the Big Island is possible in one long day, and the flight is included in the fare. That makes it one of the few tours in Hawaii where the logistics matter more than the itinerary. You are at the airport before sunrise and landing home after […]

Introduction Hawaii raft tours reach places a big catamaran cannot, and each one suits a different kind of guest. A raft rides low and fast. That gets you into the Nāpali sea caves and close along lava coastline. Blue Hawaiian Activities books eight raft tours, five on Kaua’i, two on Maui and one on the […]

Introduction From the dock, most Hawaii sunset sails look like the same evening. The difference is what the ticket puts in your hand once you are aboard, and on these eleven sails it runs from water and juice to a full dinner. Blue Hawaiian Activities books eleven sunset trips across O’ahu, Maui and the Big […]

Introduction O’ahu North Shore tours cover two very different kinds of day, and it pays to know which one you are booking. One kind is a trip out of Waikiki that treats the North Shore as the far end of a long loop. The other starts on the North Shore itself, in Hale’iwa or up […]

Introduction When choosing a Hawaii whale watching tour, departure time can affect more than when you head out on the water. Depending on the tour, morning and afternoon departures may use completely different vessels or offer different seating and upgrade options.

Introduction A full-day tour is one of the best ways to experience more of Hawai’i Island when you don’t want to spend your vacation navigating long drives between major sights.

Introduction Plenty of travellers want to see a Hawaiian reef and do not want to swim over one. A submarine is the answer the search results give, and it is a good one. It also carries a requirement that rarely appears in the photographs. Every guest has to get down a near-vertical ladder into the […]

Introduction A luau is not the only evening booking in Hawaii, and the alternatives are easier to compare once you ask one question of each. Does dinner come with it? Blue Hawaiian Activities books twelve evening show listings that are not luaus. Ten are on O’ahu and two are seating tiers of a single Kaua’i […]
