“I loved this trip. I loved constantly being in the water and every activity we did. The service was really rewarding and the leaders were so fun.
I’m so glad I went on this trip because of how beautiful
everything we saw was and how it pushed me out of my
comfort zone. ”
Luisa Bartsch, 16, New South Wales, Australia

Arrive with your team on
the Big Island of Kona.
Orient yourself to island
time and travel to your
first tropical campsite
as you spend your first
night together. Awaken
in paradise for your first
adventure as a group,
and hike the stunning
Polou trail overlooking
dramatic green cliffs to a
rugged black sand beach.
Travel to the Kona coast to begin your training
for PADI open water SCUBA certif ication.
Spend the next few days learning how to travel
safely underwater to a completely new world
of weightless exploration. Once you have
learned the skills necessary, you’ll have access
to a technicolor wonderland of coral, colorful
f ish and underwater wilderness. Hawaii has
some of the most beautiful warm water
reefs in the world, and you’ll get a chance to
thoroughly explore them with your team.
Spend the day flying from the Big Island to the
smaller more remote island of Kauai. Travel
to your beach campsite and settle into the
“Island of Discovery.” You’ll love it here!

Surf’s up! Wake up to the crashing
waves of Hana-lei Bay with your
first surfing lesson of the trip! Meet
your expert guides beach-side for a
lesson in balancing on a long board
and all things shaka. Truly, a staple
sport on the islands, after surfing
all morning you’ll feel like a true
native!
Spend the next two days serving the
community by volunteering in tropical
botanical gardens on the island. There are
many projects within the three gardens on
Kauai that your group may participate in, but
be prepared to get a little dirty and learn a
lot no matter which project you serve! Some
options include working with a local scientist
to research and preserve native plant species
or cultivating breadfruit with the Breadfruit
Institute located on the Southern Shore. Don’t
forget to take in the breath-taking scenery,
as you’re working in the gardens where scenes
from famous films were shot.
Now that you’re an expert, this
second morning catching waves
should be an (island) breeze! Soon
you’ll be independently catching
waves and soaking in this sacred
and ancient pastime of island life
in the South Pacific. For your
afternoon, enjoy one of the many
beautiful hikes in the area. We
recommend you soak in the scenic
views of this paradise as you reflect
on your accomplishments thus-far.day

Travel to the rugged steep emerald cliffs of
the Na Pali Coastline. You may recognize these
cliffs from Hollywood screens, but on this
excursion you’ll be able to see them in real
time. Sea kayak the coastline, offering views
unlike any other, and the ability to explore the
remote beaches only accessible by boat. This
will be a highlight of your trip as its one of
the most famous coastlines in the world for
adventuring.
Spend your last night in paradise reliving
and recounting the adventures you’ve had
together at a f inal Hawaiian banquet. Prepare
yourselves for the travel day back to the
mainland, and savor the memories you’ve
made.
