<\/h4>\r\nThe North Shore of Oahu and Hanapepe on Kauai are the only places in the islands where you can go skydiving.\r\n\r\nDillingham Airfield on the North Shore is a small airport meant for general aviation that is currently the home of multiple skydiving and gliding companies.\r\n\r\nSkydiving tours are done tandem with a professional, meaning you won\u2019t have to worry about knowing how to deploy a parachute or descend\u2014which is slightly more complicated than \u201cjump out of the plane\u201d if you want to touch ground at less-than-fatal speeds.\r\n\r\nJumps are usually at 10,000 or 15,000 feet, which may sound like a lot, but only equates to 20 to 60 seconds of freefall, followed by a few minutes of controlled descent with a parachute.\r\n\r\nEither way, skydiving is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill for many people, and doing it in Hawaii gets you a beautiful, sweeping view of the island\u2014as long as you keep your eyes open![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>3. Ride a Jet Pack<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nOne of the newest toys to hit the water sports scene, hydrojet packs use ocean water to produce thrust, while a nearby jet ski\u2019s engine provides the necessary powered to allow the operator to hover over the ocean\u2019s surface.\r\n\r\nThe result is something very much like flight, with the rider able to hover up to 30 feet in the air, as well as twist, turn, and maneuver your way around the sky.\r\n\r\nBeing a jet-lev pilot takes practice, however, so don\u2019t expect to go full Iron Man in your first 15 minutes of getting strapped in (remember that scene from Iron Man 1? Yeah, that\u2019s gonna be you).\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t worry though, if things go bad you\u2019ll only fall into water anyway. Until then, you\u2019ll have a helmet and headset with which you\u2019ll get instructions from the professionals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>4. Ride a Jet Ski<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9578″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nFor the acrophobic, you can choose to ride around on the water\u2019s surface instead of hovering. Jet skis, also known as personal watercraft, are motorcycle-like vehicles that fit one or two people. Basically, they\u2019re really fun and extremely cool.\r\n\r\nJet ski rides in Hawaii put you in the drivers seat of your own watercraft and let you race around a predetermined course marked by buoys.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t worry if it\u2019s your first time, either, as you\u2019ll get instruction beforehand and a guide will be available throughout your ride. You don\u2019t even need to know how to swim, as you\u2019ll get a flotation device as well.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>5. Hop in a Glider<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9575″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nYou might think that gliding is just a less exciting version of regular flight, but being in a light, maneuverable sailplane is a much different experience than flying in an aircraft with a loud, heavy engine.\r\n\r\nFor one thing, the lightweight design of gliders allows pilots to easily pull off stunts such as loops, barrel rolls, and aileron rolls, even without the help of an engine.\r\n\r\nNext, being so high up in a small, quiet craft grants you a breathtaking view of the area, and flying over the North Shore is an experience that every visitor should consider.\r\n\r\nThe gliders also take off from Dillingham Airfield, the same airport as the skydiving companies, so it\u2019s a perfect \u201cplan B\u201d if you happen to get cold feet![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>6. Go Mountain Biking<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9577″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nKualoa Ranch in Kaaawa Valley is one of the most accidentally-famous places in Hawaii, due to it\u2019s natural landscape being used for various Hollywood films. Most visitors to the Ranch immediately remark that the area is reminiscent of Jurassic Park, which is because the film was shot there. While Kualoa Ranch still operates as a cattle ranch, it also organizes tours around the area allowing visitors to see the many film locations in the valley.\r\n\r\nOne way to explore Kualoa Ranch is by riding around the many dirt trails on a mountain bike. The best thing about mountain biking is that anyone can do it as long as you can ride a bike. The trails at Kualoa include single-track and fire roads that can be exciting, but not so challenging as to preclude novice riders. Being on a bike also gives you a great view of the surrounding area, and your guide will point out the different movie sets as your ride past.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>7. Zipline<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9583″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nZiplining is another tour that\u2019s gained a lot of popularity in recent years for its ease, excitement, and low footprint. Most zipline courses are eco-tours that have low environmental impact while also bringing attention to the natural landscape.\r\n\r\nKeana Farms on the North Shore of Oahu is one such example of this, hosting an 8-line zipline course right above a local farm, not only bringing revenue and attention to local agricultural efforts, but also being an incredibly fun and exciting experience for visitors. As part of the tour, you\u2019ll even get to sample some of the fresh fruit (tomatoes, bananas) and macadamia nuts grown on the farm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>8. Experience an All-In-One Eco-Tour<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9576″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nEco-tours are popular activities due to their focus on the local environment and experiencing real nature.\r\n\r\nHawaii, being the tropical paradise that it is, offers plenty of opportunity for visitors to experience the great outdoors in eco-adventures like hikes, mountain biking, and other off-the-beaten-path adventures that have little or no impact on the environment. They\u2019re also a great way to find hidden gems scattered around the island, as the smaller tours are often inaccessible to large groups.\r\n\r\nBut if you\u2019re going to be doing something like hiking, which anyone can do, why bother with a tour? Why not just go off on your own? The reasons are twofold:\r\n\r\nFirst, a guide can grant you insights into places and wildlife that you wouldn\u2019t normally get, even with a Google search.\r\n\r\nSecond, local tour companies require permits to operate in their areas, and often are able to obtain exclusive rights to enter private property.\r\n\r\nBasically, you can get much more out of an adventure when you have a knowledgeable and experienced local there to guide you.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>9. Try Out Wake Boarding & Water Skiing<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9579″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nWhile every island has their own amazing beach and ocean adventures, Oahu is without a doubt the best place for water sports.\r\n\r\nThe south shore, which has smaller, calmer waves than the North, is the perfect place for activities such as wake boarding, water skiing, and jet skiing.\r\n\r\nLike other water sports, wake boarding and water skiing both require some level of skill to be able to do and enjoy, but are both tons of fun once you get the hang of it.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re a beginner, don\u2019t worry, as you can opt for an introductory video and a water lesson before you actually go out for the first time.\r\n\r\nAnd if you\u2019re already a seasoned boarder or skier, you\u2019re bound to have a blast in the warm waters of Oahu.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ shape_dividers=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]\n

<\/span>10. Explore Mountain and Ocean<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”9582″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nOne of the awesome things about Hawaii (and there are many!), is the fact that you can go on a hike in the morning, then head to the beach afterwards.\r\n\r\nAnd why wouldn\u2019t you? As long as the weather allows, you can have a perfect day outdoors doing whatever you want in Hawaii, whenever you want.\r\n\r\nSo if you want to go hiking in a valley, bike down a mountain, then go snorkeling in the ocean, rest assured that you can do it all in a single, fun, adventure-packed day in Oahu.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ align_mobile=”align_left_mobile” mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]Planning a trip to Oahu and want to learn more?
