Hawaii’s signature sights and activities are well-known and easy to experience, whether you choose to stay put on land or cruise between its islands. Some of the best things to do, however, are water-based. Let’s face it, you can’t visit the Hawaiian islands and not dip a toe in the turquoise waters, right? Hawaii, in fact, offers oodles of water activities, from snorkeling to sailing – even tubing down historic sugar cane irrigation canals. So haul out your swimsuit, ‘cause there’s an ocean of watery fun just waiting for you in the Aloha state. Here are our top picks.

  • It's Our Anniversary & You Have 50 Reasons to Join
    GALÁPAGOS CELEBRATING YEARS 50 IT’S OUR ANNIVERSARY & YOU HAVE 50 REASONS TO JOIN US! 1 REASON IS FREE AIR TM DEAR TRAVELER, image from 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of my father’s opening up of blessing tourism to the Galápagos Islands. It was another pioneering ceremony milestone for the man who is credited as the ‘father of eco- tourism.’ An explorer and a conservationist, he cared deeply about how bringing visitors to this special place could work to conserve this unbelievably rich environment. And now, five decades later we still believe that to be true. It is important for people to experience this unique place, to be inspired by it, to have fun in it, and to become an ambassador for its preservation. So I fervently hope you choose to take some of your valuable time to venture here. It’s not that far, yet oh-so-different from anything you have ever experienced. And, I hope that we will make a convincing case on the following pages that when you decide to go, you should choose to go with us. Our team had some fun of their own compiling 50 reasons to experience the Galápagos during our 50th, which I hope you will also find fun and inspiring. So please give it a look, it is a place for all ages, whether 8 or 80, with a lot to see, feel and be touched by in a multitude of ways. I know, as I’ve been here at least 50 times and brought friends and my four kids on numerous expeditions.

Heart rate response and energy cost of stand up paddleboarding. MS in Clinical Exercise Physiology, December 2016, 31 pp. (J. Porcari) Standup Paddleboarding (SUP) began in Hawaii as a way to view island scenery and as a way for photographers to get better picture angles of st11fers. The purpose of this study was to determine the heart rate (HR) response and energy expenditure of SUP. Sixteen recreational paddleboarders completed a total of three trials at Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) levels of II, 13, and 15. It was found that HR was between 67% and 89% of age-predicted maximal HR and energy expenditure was between 9.00 and 13.9 kcal per minute, depending on the RPE level of the paddleboarder. The results indicate that SUP meets American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for positively affecting body composition and improving cardiorespiratory endurance.
