Activities

There are countless ways to have fun at The Fairmont Orchid, be it swimming with Hawaiian Sea Turtles in our protected lagoon at Pauoa Bay, snorkeling on our pristine coral reef, kayaking, surfing, fishing, scuba diving, hiking amid the largest Hawaiian petroglyph field in the Pacific, tennis on 10 courts, golf, shopping, swimming in our 10,000-square-foot pool and so much more.

Our famous Orchid Beachboys staff are experts in Hawaiian culture and history and may assist in choosing ocean activities that are right for you and your family with plenty of lore and personal history too. Learn how the ancient Polynesians navigated the Polynesian islands by the stars alone, marvel at ancient etchings in lava rock, weave a basket from coconut palm fronds.

Our gracious Concierge staff can book adventures such as helicopter flightseeing over molten lava at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea, or over any of the 10 other climate zones found on our Big Island. The Fairmont Orchid is ideal for golf lovers with two legendary Francis H. I'i Brown championship golf courses within the Mauna Lani Resort. And just minutes away are several other world-class courses.
