Adventure Travel in the Hawaiian Islands

I first took this trip in the summer of 2023. It was my first teen tour and I didn't know what to expect. TFT was an amazing company to travel with and the counselors, especially Gabi, were so great at making us all comfortable. We snorkeled at Molokini Crater, helped sea turtles - my favorite part - hiked Diamondhead and did a sunrise hike of Haleakala. We visited Lanai 8 days before the fires and I'm so thankful to have seen the beautiful town. My second trip to Hawaii with TFT was summer of 2025. We visited Kihei this time and it was a nice change of scenery. Oahu was my favorite, especially the shopping and the authentic luau. I'd highly recommend this trip!

My Hawaii sea turtle trip was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The program was the perfect length not too short but not too long and every day felt exciting. My counselors were super nice, helpful, and really made the whole trip feel comfortable and fun. I’ve always loved marine biology, so getting the chance to actually work with real professionals was amazing. We got to see live sea turtles up close and learn how they’re cared for when they’re injured, which was crazy cool. It’s one thing to read about it, but seeing it in person made me even more sure that this is what I want to do in the future. I also met so many awesome people on the trip. We still talk all the time, which makes me really happy because it feels like I made real friendships, not just “trip friends.” The hotel we stayed at was great too clean, comfortable, and honestly better than I expected. Overall, the whole experience was unforgettable, and I’m so glad I had the chance to go. If anyone loves marine biology or just wants a unique adventure, I’d totally recommend it.
