The Adrenaline Junkie’s Guide to O‘ahu
You can lounge on the beach later. From the sky to the water, here are some of the top ways to full-send your way through Waikīkī and get your adrenaline pumping.

First thing's first: check in and get settled—you’ll need this breather before getting out there. For some people, the best part of a Waikīkī escape is unwinding and kicking back, and for others it’s all about getting the blood pumping. Read on for some of the most adrenaline-boosting experiences on the island.
Skydiving Over the North Shore
Looking for a good view? How about one from 14,000 feet up. Jump (or get pushed), it’s pure adrenaline—free-falling over the coastline, watching the mountains and ocean stretch out in every direction. If it’s your first time, don’t get scared off by the slightly squirrelly plane ride: by the time the parachute opens, expect to already be planning your next jump. (Pro tip: book a morning slot for the clearest skies.)
