On most of our tours we bring our ‘ukulele with us to bring with it the spirit of the islands of Hawaii. Explanations for the term ‘ukulele vary. Queen Lili’uokalani is credited with the translation of uku as “gift,” and lele as “to come.” The word ukulele would therefore mean “a gift that came.” But [...]
The Hawaiian Term for surfing is “hee nalu” which is roughly translated as wave sliding. While we don’t go surfing on the tours we do body board on the Kayak Explorer day trip and the 4 day Active friends tour. Is it difficult to do? Your guide will give you pointers and most guests find [...]

Snorkel spots change for different reasons. Your guide book may not know this but at Hawaii Outdoor Guides we show [...]
Recently as a guide for Hawaii Outdoor Guides I got to thinking about what is my favorite thing to do in the ocean. I love so many things… Snorkeling, boogie boarding, swimming, outrigger canoe paddling, kayaking and sailing. If I had to pick one thing it would probably be boogie boarding. I love the feeling [...]
That is easy… Anytime! Hawaii has moderate temperatures all year and the water temperature varies only slightly. It can be less crowded during spring and fall. Snorkeling is good most of the year too. Boogie boarding is great all year at the beach we frequent. All this talk of how great it is here is [...]
