If you have only one day to spend in Hawaii, how would you spend it? Forget all the travel, and the hotel, what would you do with 24 hours in paradise? There are a million different ways to spend a day, so many activities to enjoy, and so many great things to do that might seem impossible to figure out. Put yourself in that place and imagine that you will wake up in Hawaii and can do anything you want. We know how we’d spend it, and can offer some insight on how to spend one day in Hawaii.
The sun rises early in Hawaii, and as soon as the sun starts to break over the horizon, you will want to kick off your day. Head out to the sand with a nice cup of Hawaiian coffee and an Acai Bowl from a local juice shop and enjoy the dawn of a new day. There is no better time to dip into a nearly empty ocean, so take this time to enjoy a swim, stand-up paddle, or ride some waves on a surf board. This is a great time to get in physical activity, and will set you up for an enjoyable rest of your day.
With so many great activities to take part in, you can fill the rest of your morning and early afternoon with a hike deep into the lush rainforest. If hiking isn’t for you, enjoy a scenic drive around the island, stopping at the best beaches and destinations for pictures and the stunning scenery. If sightseeing doesn’t jump out at you, consider that this is the best way to see the entire island, and you’ll be able to see all the sites that make Hawaii famous. Plus, you’ll be back in plenty of time to enjoy the evening and you will have had an experience that filled an entire day.
Once night falls, it is time for fun and a party, and nothing compares to an authentic Hawaiian Luau. Live entertainment, games, laughter, and a delicious buffet are all in store, and this celebration of fun and the traditions of the islands are the perfect end to your perfect day in Hawaii.
Of course, you could choose to spend an entire day on the beach, and that would be just fine too. No matter how you choose to spend a day in Hawaii, it is bound to be special.
