With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
The perfect Hawaiian day will ultimately be different for everyone, but here at Only In Hawaii, we’ve worked hard to come up with the 13 things you must include to have a truly Hawaiian day. Because Hawaii is so isolated, and you can’t really travel between islands without wasting a decent chunk of time, we’ve stripped the perfect Hawaii day down to general activities you can complete regardless of which island you live on.
To fit all of these activities in, you’ll have to be up before the sun – and head to bed after the sun has already sunk behind the horizon. Are you up for the quintessential Hawaiian day?
1. First things first, head to your favorite coffee shop to grab a cup of Hawaiian grown coffee – to-go, of course!
If you're hiking in Koke'e State Park, be sure to stop by the Waimea Canyon Lookout. It's a short detour - and will give you some great photographs to share with all your friends.
