If being a Beach Bum is not really your thing, and you need to burn off some of that tasty Hawaiian fare, then this dynamic package is just what you need!

<p>Head to beautiful Hanauma Bay at the south end of the island and experience some of Oahu's finest and most popular watersports.  DoSomethingDifferent offers a variety of the most popular activities; the hardest part is choosing two of the following: </p><p><strong>Parasailing <br /></strong>Extending up to 300 feet from the parasail boat, this is a unique way to take in the wonderful surrounds, which can only be appreciated off-shore.  Air time is about 8-10 minutes, but you will enjoy about 45 minutes speeding along on the Parasailing boat. </p><p><strong>Jet Skiing</strong> <br />A perennial favourite and an exhilarating ride.  Skim across the insanely beautiful tropical waters and bounce over waves at thirty miles an hour, basking in the salt spray, soaking up the sun, and enjoying your Hawaiian holiday in rip-roarin’ style. </p><p><strong>PADI Scuba Diving</strong> – Intro or Certified Divers Boat Dives - 1 tank<br />With its perfect crystalline waters, abundant sea-life, and easily-accessible reefs, Oahu is the ideal location for scuba diving whether you are just beginning or could teach Jacques Cousteau a thing or two!  The friendly and professional crew will make you feel comfortable and ensure that you take away nothing but superb memories.   </p><p><strong>Wild Thing</strong> <br />Fancy being captain of your own glass-bottomed boat?  That’s the premise behind this fantastic and original activity which gives you full access to the underwater kingdom without even getting into the water!  Take a close first hand look at the sparkling tropical fishes, reefs, and turtles; and if you're lucky, perhaps even a manta ray or dolphin.  If that’s not enough then this is a great opportunity to bask in the sun, enjoy the cool salt spray, and revel in the view of the seashore and stunning green-clad mountains, with their ever-present streamers of cloud.  It's all delicious food for the soul! </p><p><strong>Snorkelling<br /></strong>The protected, shallow waters of the world-famous Hanauma Bay offer a snorkeling experience that is second to none.  Once you are hooked up with the necessary equipment, and given your instructions, you will be whisked out to the bay for 2-3 hours of prime snorkeling time in the warm, crystalline waters. </p><p><strong>Banana Boat or Bumper Tube<br /></strong>A bit like Rodeo on water!  This is one of the most exciting and quite frankly, silly experiences in Oahu!  Climb aboard a bumper tube or double-hulled inflatable banana boat for a true get-wet ride as you're dragged across the ocean behind a speedboat.  Hoots and squeals seem to be the prerequisite as you bounce across the waves waiting to be thrown from the saddle.   Duration of each activity varies along with days of operation as some of the events are not offered daily.    </p> http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience/image/167/Jetskiing.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1493/Parasailing2.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1494/Jetskiing.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1495/Snorkelling.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1496/bumpertubeA.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/experiences/watersports_on_the_bay_oahu Adult 66.0 Child 66.0 Monday to Friday throughout the year. 8.00am From Waikiki hotels <ul><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Roundtrip transportation from Waikiki hotels</div></li><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Safety briefing and all necessary equipment</div></li><li>Finest watersports in Hawaii </li></ul> <ul><li><div>Refreshments</div></li><li><div>Optional gratuities</div></li></ul> <p>Dress according to the weather for that day.

A supreme study in contrast, taking you to two very different environments where plants and birds found nowhere else on earth reveal an evolutionary epic of the islands.

<p>At Pu'u La'au, you will be whisked to nearly 7000 feet on the western side of Mauna Kea, the tallest volcano in the World, where you will disembark to take in the spectacular views and roam a sub-alpine dry land forest, home to numerous endemic birds.  For the ornathologists, this includes the endangered palila and the bryani sub-species of elepaio.  Although the terrain is somewhat uneven, the hiking is easy.  The main interest is in sighting the critically threatened palila, but there are two other endemics of note to be found: the Hawaii amakihi, and the local species of the Hawaii elepaio (noted for the white feathering on their heads).  </p><p>Next stop is the Pu’u O’o trail, a “cloudforest” habitat located at 6,000 feet on the northeastern slope of Mauna Loa on the windward side of the island.  Forest birds will serenade you as you wind through three to four miles of sometimes rough lava trail, crossing over the 1855 and 1881 lava flows.  The guides will be concerned with spotting the endangered akiapola'au, oma'o (Hawaiian thrush), i'iwi, and apepane, among others. </p><p>Although principally concerned with bird-watching, the mind is often distracted by the spectacular vistas and verdant forest making it a secondary activity!  For those who are interested in nature on any level this is a superbly executed tour providing a rare opportunity to witness plants and birds found nowhere else on earth.</p> http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience/image/217/Rainforest_Birding_Trek__Big_Island3.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1949/Rainforest_Birding_Trek__Big_Island.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1950/Rainforest_Birding_Trek__Big_Island5.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1951/Rainforest_Birding_Trek__Big_Island3.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1952/Rainforest_Birding_Trek__Big_Island2.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/images/store/experience_image/filename/1953/Rainforest_Birding_Trek__Big_Island6.jpg http://www.dosomethingdifferent.com/experiences/rainforest_and_dryforest_birding_adventure_ Adult 137.0 Child 137.0 Monday-Friday throughout the year. 8.00am 11 hours <ul><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Pick-up from selected locations</div></li><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Mid morning snack with Coffee, Tea, Fresh fruit, & cakes</div></li><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Deli Lunch with drinks </div></li><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Daypacks, bottled water, binoculars</div></li><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Walking Sticks</div></li><li><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Warm wear</div></li><li>Raingear</li></ul> <ul><li>Optional gratuities</li></ul> <span>Sturdy closed-toed shoes or boots, trousers/long pants, and a light rain jacket</span> <p>Hiking is rated easy to moderate.  Guests should be able to hike on uneven or rocky terrain.</p><p><span>Children 8 years and upwards welcome. </span></p><p><span></span><span>Maximum of 10 guests </span></p><p>Conditions are sometimes cool, wet, or muddy</p>No child rate applies Min. 7 Hawaii Big Island History & Culture Wildlife Encounters Scenic Beauty Walking Tours Informative Inspirational Relaxing Big Island Spectacular Helicopter Flight
