Sail on a virtual voyage to the Hawaiian Islands. Swim with dolphins on the Kohala Coast; SCUBA or SNUBA in the Coral Gardens off the coast of Lahaina, Maui; ride the waves at Oahu's North Shore Banzai Pipeline (Ho, da shreddin' da kine, brah!); hit a hole-in-one on Number 17, a 555 yard stretch at the unparalleled Mauna Kea Golf Course; take a three-hour ride on the northern tip of Hawaii with ATV Outfitters; hike the 17 mile trail on a volcano summit to the Mauna Loa Weather Observatory; or jump 35 feet to the ocean from Honokane Iki Valley cilffs on the Big Island. Not that adventuresome? Then maybe you'd enjoy relaxing under coconut trees on a pristine, black or green sand Puna beach; sipping papaya-mango smoothies at the Banyan Tree in Maui; shopping for Hawaiian shirts at Kahului's Queen Ka'ahumanu Mall; or strolling at sunset along Waikiki Beach to Kapiolani Park, enjoying the music from nearby resorts.
