Who says vacation isn’t a lifestyle?

Consider your standards, and raise them.

Culinary Journeys Like you, THE MODERN HONOLULU values authenticity. Ask any member of our staff to advise you on your personal culinary journey, and they'll happily share their favorite island tastes. The recommendations may take you to a weekly farmers' market to shop for island-cultivated indulgences like Waialua chocolate and raw honey. For the adventurous, tips lead to the North Shore shrimp trucks, serving ultra-garlicky or spicy seafood over rice, and the Hole-in-the-Wall food tour, which introduces you to Honolulu's casual, global eats - from Korean-style barbecue chicken to Portuguese doughnuts.

Eco Tourism THE MODERN HONOLULU has carefully curated a collection of authentic Oahu eco-tours, illuminating for you the island's wild and sacred side. Tour Kualoa Ranch, where mountain cliffs tumble into tropical gardens, secluded beaches and the frequently-filed Ka'a'awa Valley. Join a small-group excursion with Oahu Nature Tours to learn the ecology and history behind Oahu attractions from Waimea Waterfall to Diamond Head. Inquire into bird-watching, whale-watching or a swim with dolphins (or sea turtles). And don't leave the island without visiting Dole Plantation - 14,000 native plants define its three-acre labyrinth, and the plantation garden tour envelopes you in hibiscus and 100-foot-tall koa trees.

Extreme Sports In a destination as uncommon as Oahu, your itinerary should include some exclusives - even some extremes. THE MODERN HONOLULU has cultivated relationships with adventure operators and luxury rental companies to push your Oaho experience - to the summit of Mount Tantalus by sport bike or auto (Ferrari, Lamborghini and the like); to the depths of the Pacific to encounter sharks; and to the sky - where you can free-fall to the world's most breathtaking drop zone during a skydive, or fly a vintage airplane as part of a Pearl Harbor recon mission (drop "Warbird Adventure" to our Concierge).
