If when you think of Hawaii beaches, a dreamy, white sand cresant comes to mind.. (well, we need to fix that!) Learn about Hawaii Beaches- all the different kinds there are, and the variety of colors they come in.
 Whale watching and swimming with dolphins are popular things to do in Hawaii. Tour boats can give you a close-up view of these awe inspiring creatures.
Also, there are places on the Big Island, such as Kialekekua Bay, where the dolphins come to have their babies in early spring. Some people like to rent kayaks and paddle out to see them.
Farmers Markets
You can find unique things at great prices at the farmers markets found all over the Islands. Expect to see exotic fruits and vegetables you have never seen before... flowers in a rainbow of colors.. hand made shell and stone jewelry... and Hawaiian style clothing.
Outdoors-y stuff
Imagine camping.... on a beautiful beach, right on the waters edge, falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, while stars glitter above you. Or, hiking into Waipio Valley to see the wild horses, and camping on the black sand at the valley shore.
For bike riders, Hawaii offers a spectacular experience. Tour vans can drive you to the top of mountain roads so that you can ride for miles and miles, to the bottom of the volcanoes. This is a thrill that is hard to forget.
For animal lovers..
 there are zoo’s on both Oahu and the Big Island. The Hilo Zoo is a nice little zoo and there are lots of neat animals. Hawaiian native plants and flowers, a Butterfly Zoo, and a petting farm are also fun to see there. Many people go just to see Namaste, the rare white tiger.
For History Buffs...
There are many interesting museums here. There are Volcano, Astronomy, and Tsunami Museums on the Big Island, and most of the Islands have Museums of Ancient Hawaii and Plantation Era Hawaii. You can see the capes worn by the Hawaiian royalty, that are made of feathers from now extinct birds...ancient Hawaiian Artifact... pictures of Hawaiian Royalty, Stuffed Marlin, and more.
For Plant Lovers..
If you are interested in rare and unique plants, you could go to the many botanical gardens that are found on all the Islands. Take a leisurely walk through tropical greenery, studded with lush colorful flowers. Some of these exotic plants are very unusual.....taking shapes and form that you may have never seen before.
Surprise!
One thing you may least expect to be able to do in Hawaii, is snow ski. On the top of Mauna Kea, and sometimes Mauna Loa, on the Big Island, there is a blanket of snow in the winter. At about 7000 feet the snowline begins, and skiers and snow boarders can enjoy their sport.
If you think these Hawaiian things to do sound fun, wait till you learn about Hawaii nightlife!
