by Hilton 
TravelSkoot presents the best sporting events in Hawaii, where you can watch one of the greatest sporting events every October, or dare to participate in the Ironman! If you'd prefer as less intense workout, opt for surfing lessons, Hawaii has plenty of sporting events to either participate in or just watch!
The Outrigger Canoe Club is a private, members-only club founded in 1908 on the beach at Waikiki, on what is now the site of the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel. The original clubhouse was a grass hut on the beach, but has grown into today’s Club which espouses not only surfing, but other sports, social activities, historical programs, dining facilities and the world's most spectacular sunsets. The clean, white sand beach is a wonderful place to sun and relax. The ocean directly in front of the Club is a shallow, sandy swimming area that is perfect for swimmers of all ages and abilities. More expert swimmers may swim or snorkel out into the Kapua Channel.

As the Hawaiian economy transitioned from trading to ranching in the early 1800’s, King Kamehameha III invited vaqueros from Spanish California to Hawaii to teach cattle handling skills. They were called Espanoles , which the native Hawaiians pronounced as paniolos. At this 11,000 acre working cattle ranch, stretching from the rain forest to the ocean, you’ll experience paniolo-style open range horseback riding in unspoiled upcountry Hawai'i on historic Kohala Mountain. You’ll have awe-inspiring views of the most spectacular scenery on the Big Island, including Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

Maybe you’ve snorkeled, and perhaps you’ve even done some Scuba. You can do both with Big Island Watersports - but have you ever tried Snuba? Big Island Watersports will guide your dive from the beach or off a charter boat – allowing you to see the beauty of undersea life from a whole new perspective. Snuba is a way of breathing underwater with a simple breathing apparatus that tethers divers to the raft. Big Island guides are with you the whole time, pointing out the living wonders of the ocean. This unique new diving experience allows any curious adventurer the freedom of Scuba without the heavy equipment – and no need to train for certification!
