Hawaii is chock full of adventure travel highs

Hawaii is filled with adventure travel experiences. Here's where to find adventure travel outings in the Hawaiian Islands.

1. Mountain Biking Adventures on Oahu

Suck it up and keep pedaling that mountain bike past the roadside cattle in Kualoa Ranch on Oahu, Hawaii. You gave your legs a rest while looking in the cave filled with pictures of Jurassic Park, Godzilla and other movies that have been filmed on this scenic 4,000-acre working cattle ranch. And another, after splashing through a stream and around cow patties.

2. Photos of Molokai, Hawaii: An unspoiled island for adventurous travelers

Ever ride a mule down a corkscrew path that descends more than 1,700 feet to the beach? Did you know that one of the most popular kite makers has a store here (and a website)? Molokai is an unspoiled slice of paradise.

3. Ziplines on Maui are Among the most Exciting in the World

Ready to zip along a line strung out on the slopes a Haleakala, a dormant volcano? Or, would you rather soar above streams and by waterfalls?

4. Hovering in a Helicopter Near Steaming Volcano Vents

Several companies offer day trips to the Big Island that include a helicopter flight over the steaming vents in Volcanoes National Park. Helicopter flights with Paradise Helicopters include flying by the volcano’s steaming vents and around Volcanoes National Park, then a stop by a waterfall for lunch and a swim.

5. Secret Golf Course on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai

Play with us, mon," the barefoot local said as we walked up to the first tee at Kukuiolono, a 9-hole golf course on Kauai. Golf on Kauai usually costs big bucks, but at this public course it only costs $9 to play all day.
