Taking a trip anywhere these days takes a lot of creativity, especially when it comes to financing that trip. If you’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii but couldn’t quite seem to fit it into the budget, you don’t have to lose heart. There are many activities that are inexpensive and some are even free on the beautiful isle of Hawaii.
If you have saved enough for your airfare and found a decent hotel, you don’t have to spend a fortune to have an exhilarating experience in Hawaii. Of course, there is the beach, but there are also a host of ways to enjoy the beach in Hawaii other than simply sunbathing.
Sports on the Beaches of Hawaii
If you are the energetic type and sitting still on the beach endlessly for hours has little appeal, you can enjoy the beaches of Hawaii in a bevy of ways. Taking up a sport is a perfect example. Of course, there is beach volleyball, but if you are more extreme than that, you’re in luck. You might want to get involved in playing extreme volleyball or try your hand at kite surfing.
Kite surfing is a mixture of wakeboarding and windsurfing. What makes kite surfing so popular in Hawaii lies within the fact that the trade winds combined with the waves can make conditions perfect for this sport.
Kailua Beach in Oahu is one of the top spots to enjoy kitesurfing. The conditions at Kailua are optimal. Kite Beach is another prime location, especially if you are a beginner. You can take kitesurfing lessons and try your hand at something different. If you enjoy the feeling of surfing and sailing, then kitesurfing will beat sunbathing hands down for you.
Stand up paddle boarding is all the rage in waters everywhere these days. Aqua jogging is another great way to enjoy your time at the beach, as well as power walking with ankle weights. Join a zumba class on a beach and combine excitement with peace and calm.
Mixing physical fitness with the beautiful landscape of the ocean beaches and the challenge of working out in the sand is the latest trend. There are plenty of ways to exercise and enjoy the beaches of Hawaii
A Little Yoga Goes a Long Way
Whether you are a beginner or pro, a male or a female, you may just find yourself getting hooked on yoga. Picture yourself on the beach in the early morning, sand underfoot and glorious scenery all around you as you get into the flow of yoga. Beside the fact that yoga on the beach can change your health, physical fitness and your mindset all at once, there are also several forms of yoga from basic to power yoga.
Hatha yoga is your basic form of yoga that focuses on breathing techniques. The power of breath is the energy of life according to this type of yoga.
Power yoga uses quicker, livelier movement with the more advanced poses. Power yoga challenges you, has the potential to burn a few hundred calories in one hour and also increases flexibility.
Meet New People
One of the top universal fears for just about everyone is fear of speaking in public and meeting new people. If you are a business person and need to brush up on your people skills, what better place to do it than on the beach in Hawaii. No matter if you are walking on the beach or sitting and taking in the sun, this is a great opportunity for you to polish up your skills and practice extending yourself to new people.
Having a backdrop of paradise makes it an easy-going experience to strike up a conversation. Even if you flub, when you are in Hawaii, there’s nothing really wrong. You never know, you might just meet your next big client.
Taking up a sport, getting into yoga pose or trying your hand at meeting new people are all creative and fulfilling ways to spend (at least some of) your time other than sunbathing on the beaches of Hawaii.
