Summer is the perfect time to travel to Hawaii and, thanks to the state’s Safe Travels program, tourists are once again welcome. But it's smart to continue to take extra precautions on your Hawaii vacation since the pandemic is still ongoing. Here are four activities that make it easy to maintain social distancing while having a great time on Oahu. 

4 Socially Distanced Activities on Oahu 

1. Spend Time at the Beach

Hawaii’s beaches are undoubtedly one of its most famous and magnificent attractions. Fortunately, they’re also one of the easiest places to relax while maintaining social distance. Halona Cove and Makapu'u Beach are two lovely, secluded spots. Or travel to the shore at sunrise to enjoy solitude, even at the more well-known spots.

2. Enjoy the Water 

The ocean often comes up first for Hawaii’s top tourist attractions. There are innumerable opportunities for fun in the water, from swimming and paddleboarding to snorkeling and whale watching. While venturing out alone or with your travel companions is the easiest way to maintain social distancing, group excursions and boat charters are also safe. Most companies have taken precautions, including limiting the number of participants, to ensure everyone’s health. 

3. Take a Hike

Hawaii also has a wealth of land-based gems to discover. Rise with the sun and start your day with an energizing hike and amazing photo opportunities. Some of the most popular hikes on Oahu include Koko Head, Diamond Head, Makapu'u Lighthouse, Lanikai Pillbox, and Waimea Valley Trail.

4. Stock Up at the Farmers’ Market 

There are several farmers’ markets around Oahu featuring fresh produce and locally made goods. Grab breakfast or lunch, then take home sweet, juicy fruits to enjoy at your hotel. Shopping at the markets for gifts and souvenirs also supports the community and saves you money by avoiding overpaying at tourist traps.

If you’re planning to travel to Hawaii, book a room at The Breakers Hotel. Located in Honolulu half a block from Waikiki Beach, this hotel is one of Oahu’s top spots for visitors. Choose between a studio room or an expansive ranch-style accommodation, each of which is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Call (808) 923-3181 to make a reservation, or visit the website to learn more about their rooms and rates.
