Sightseeing
I LOVE this excursion! I do it about 4X a year. The morning snorkel is great if you like that and if not, then the sunset cruise is the way to go! You can't go wrong with either. Ask to see if Jesse is working!

The Nihou trip is a blast! If you have the stomach for coming across the channel, this is the one for you, what a ride! The other trips...morning snorkel and sunset tour are great too. Capt Andy's and HoloHolo are the two best ones. IMO.

Adopt a Dog for the Day! Come pick out your pup and they load you up with snacks, water, poop bags, leash, toys. You can take the dog wherever you want for day. Many dogs have found their forever homes this way and it helps to socialize the dogs. I believe they now charge $40 for taking the dog out for the day.

The Little Grand Canyon - stunning and spectacular views. You can drive the park and get out at the overlooks or you can find a hike and explore the many waterfalls and canyons.

Rent a canoe or paddle board and paddle up the Wailua River to the Secret Falls. Park your SUP or canoe along with all the other ones (you will know where it is when you see all the boats) and walk about 1 mile to the Secret Falls. A beautiful waterfall well worth the trip. There used to me a family of ducks on the short walk that were very friendly, maybe have some breadcrumbs or crackers for them.

One of the most beautiful hikes on the island. If you can make it the 4 miles in you are in for a treat. It can be very muddy and slippery so don't wear your new white sneakers.

Polihale is the longest, continuous stretch of beach in the United States. My favorite day is spent here at sunset. Bring a pizza and camp out on the beach to watch the sun go down.

Take a trip down the river by kayak or SUP. You will paddle for about 30-45 minutes then come to a hike that leads to the Secret Falls. The hike is only about a mile. It's a fun adventurous excursion. The hike is short, but you will cross the river 2-3X while hiking. The falls are amazing.
