Hawaii: Adventure-cation OR Chill-cation?

Adventurecation: A vacation that is full of new or not so new adventures.

Chillcation: A vacation that is relaxing, laidback and very little itinerary.

I love taking a chill vacation that involves relaxing on the beach with a drink in my hand and someone waiting on me hand and foot.

But, there is also a time and place for an adventure- cation. To not just see the world and all it has to offer but experience the adventures that come along with it.

I can’t think of a better place to do BOTH than Hawaii! It truly is the best of both worlds.

If it’s not on your list, it needs to be.

My last visit was to Oahu and Kauai. Both were wonderful but very different in many ways.

Oahu is famous for Waikiki beach and Pearl Harbor and is much more metropolis than Kauai.

The city itself is buzzing with lots of nightlife and places to eat. You will want to spend a day at Waikiki beach and watch the surfers. I saw the cutest little toddler carrying his own surfboard! I was so impressed.

Kauai is a small island but still full of plenty to do. I had a very authentic Hawaiian experience from my helicopter tour over the volcanoes and ocean to the yummiest food tour of local farms and eateries. The food spanned from a sushi eggroll to Poi to the best burger I’ve ever put in my mouth.
