Imagine your group playing in warm ocean waves, swimming next to schools of tropical fish, and watching hot lava flow into the ocean. Sleep under starry skies right on the beach with an expansive ocean landscape in front of everyone. Join us for an unforgettable week of fun and adventure exploring Hawaii's Big Island.

This trip is action packed and hosts endless outdoor opportunities for all adventurers. We will hike through lush tropical rainforests to seek out beautiful, cascading waterfalls.

Backpacking
Hike through lush tropical rainforests to seek out beautiful, cascading waterfalls. Learn about native plants and tropical flowers along the trail, and listen to the sounds of a tropical rainforest. Watch your group truly come together as they work as a team to pack and carry all of our gear and food to our destination, and cheer each other on to complete.

Volcanoes National Park
Our adventure will lead us to one of the "7 wonders of the world" – Hawaii Volcanoes National Park – for hiking opportunities unlike any other location. Walk over expansive lava fields, through the middle of a crater or out to watch steam rise from the ocean as lava seeps to the edge of the shoreline. This can provide an amazingly unique light show when the sun goes down and the fireworks begin.

Kayaking
Spend a day sea kayaking in the calm waters of the Pacific. Learn the basics of paddling and water safety while surrounded by Hawaii's lush tropical landscape. Visits from local dolphin pods are not uncommon, and your kayak provides a front row seat to the playful creatures.

Snorkeling/Tide-pool Exploration
Hawaii boasts a very rich and healthy reef system that is easy to enjoy for anyone that can swim. Snorkel in warm tropical waters and seek out all of the colorful fish and sea creatures. Our guides will help you learn to identify some of Hawaii's most popular fish species and underwater life.

Hawaiian culture
Hawaiian culture and people share an incredible depth and spirit that we will learn about throughout the trip by speaking with locals and visiting cultural centers along our route. Discover a unique Hawaii beyond what the typical tourist sees. Hawaii “Lifeschool style” is a truly memorable experience.

Like all of our class trips, this Hawaii adventure can be custom tailored to meet your group needs. Let us know what you would like to include and we will do our best to make it happen.
