Students will learn about the hula’s history, as well as being given traditional costumes for an authentic experience.

Hawaii is known for its amazing surfing, and you'd be missing out if you didn't at least take a lesson. Surf lessons are available almost everywhere in Hawaii, but the top-rated lessons can be found at Hans Hedemann Surf School, Maui Beach Boys, and Kona Mike’s Surf Adventures.

For a free lei making class on Maui, head to Whalers Village Shopping Center every Tuesday and Friday from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Oahu’s Royal Hawaiian Center also offers free classes throughout the week.
