Interesting Pastimes While in Hawaii by Joyce Hauoli Carter February 12, 2010

Expensive
Whale watches, submarine rides, blue water rafting (except in winter’s rough surf), snorkeling, and scuba diving are available rear round through hotels and activity kiosks on the street. Diving, fishing, and dining boat trips are easily arranged. The company you choose for these activities determines whether they are expensive or economical. Water skiing, jet skiing, and parasailing are available accept when the humpback waves are breeding in winter.
Economical:
Horseback riding, tennis courts, and golf courses are everywhere. The place determines the price.
Free:
There are many scuba, snorkeling, and windsurfing areas to which you can drive since most islands are surrounded by coral reefs. For reasons of safety, enjoy these activities with a buddy.
Lu‘au:
All the hotels have lu’ua ceremonies. They are exciting and exhotic, and I recommend that you attend one. Most offer Hawaiian and ”American” food. Take a chance and try kalau pig, lomi lomi salmon, chicken and long rice, Hawaiian Stew, sticky rice, Hawaiian potato salad, poi, and a mai tai with haupia pudding for dessert. The entertainment is authentic but often they feature more South Pacific dance than Hawaiian hula.
I strongly recommend that you find a church or school lu’au where local folk put on a beautiful spread of food and hula schools, ukulele bands, and local vocalists and instrumentalist perform. And if you’re very, very lucky, at the end of the day the aunties and uncles (older generations) will throw away their canes and hula like nobody else can. And when they invite you up to join them, DO IT!
Other:
Sometimes the best times can be had when getting in your car and just driving around. You can’t get lost; you’re on an island! Stop by the roadside and walk a path to a waterfall. Feel the droplets on your face. Eat Hawaiian food in a local restaurant. Stop at a roadside stand and order shave ice.
Meet the people. Go to a church whose service is in Hawaiian. Stay and chat. Visit an open air market. Say aloha. Remember I said that its all about aloha—not just hello and good-bye, not just love, but sharing, caring, forgiving and mercy. Be the aloha; take it home with you and share it. You won’t be sorry.
