Hawaii Multi-Sport Adventures
Bike, Walk and Sea Kayak on the Big Island: “If you thought the blue of the Pacific was something to write home about, wait until you see the grazing land rippling along the flank of Kohala Mountain. The grass really is greener in Hawaii,” raved Travel+Leisure. The diversity of the Big Island’s greens and blues is well matched to the activities on Backroads' multisport journey. Hike through steaming calderas and above the lush Waipio Valley. Bike the magical Kau Coast overlooking the Pacific. In the shadow of a volcano, sea kayak to caves unreachable by land. And hear of Hawaii’s intriguing folklore and history.
