Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re lucky enough to be in Hawaii, you’re in for a treat! From epic adventures to laid-back beach vibes, there’s something for every type of dad. And if your dad couldn’t make it on the trip, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with some fantastic ideas to bring a slice of paradise back to him. So, let’s dive into the best things to do for Father’s Day in Hawaii, served with a side of light-hearted sarcasm and humor.
1. Hit the Waves with a Surfing Lesson
Why not start the day by challenging Dad to a surfing lesson? Nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” like watching him try to balance on a board while getting knocked over by waves. But hey, at least he can say he tried! And if he becomes a surfing pro in one day? Well, you’ve got yourself a legend.
2. Embark on a Deep-Sea Fishing Charter
If your dad is the adventurous type, book a deep-sea fishing charter and see who can catch the biggest fish. Picture this: Dad reeling in a massive ahi while shouting, “I’m gonna need a bigger boat!” Even if you don’t catch anything, the stories (and excuses) will be legendary.
3. Relax at a Luau
After all that excitement, treat Dad to a traditional Hawaiian luau. Imagine the look on his face when he sees the pig being roasted in an underground oven. He may even start planning his backyard luau pit. Enjoy the hula dancing, music, and a feast fit for a king – or at least a dad who’s survived surfing and fishing in one day.
4. Explore a Volcano
For the dad who loves to explore, a trip to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a must. Take a hike around the volcanic craters and marvel at the sheer power of nature. And if Dad starts making “hot” jokes, just smile and nod – it is Father’s Day, after all.
5. Snorkel with the Sea Turtles
End the day with a serene snorkeling trip to see Hawaii’s majestic sea turtles. Watch as Dad tries to take a selfie with one – just remind him that turtles aren’t known for their selfie skills. It’s a magical experience that will make this Father’s Day one to remember.
What to Bring Back if Dad Couldn’t Make It
If your dad couldn’t join you on this Hawaiian adventure, don’t fret. There are plenty of souvenirs that can bring the Aloha spirit back home to him. Here are a few ideas:
- Aloha Shirt: Get him a brightly colored aloha shirt that screams, “I wish I was in Hawaii!”
- Macadamia Nuts: A bag of these tasty treats is a perfect way to say, “Sorry you missed out, but at least you can snack like you’re in paradise.”
- Pineapple Anything: Pineapple jam, pineapple candy, pineapple soap, even an actual pineapple – if it has pineapple in it, it’s good to go. It’s the thought that counts, right?
- Coffee from Kona: Bring back some world-famous Kona coffee so he can enjoy a taste of Hawaii every morning and dream of the next trip.
- A Lei: Nothing says “I missed you” like a traditional Hawaiian lei.
Celebrating Father’s Day in Hawaii is an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, adventure, and a bit of friendly competition. Whether you’re hitting the waves, catching fish, or just relaxing by the beach, make sure to savor every moment. And if Dad couldn’t be there in person, these thoughtful souvenirs will make him feel like he was part of the fun. Happy Father’s Day, and may your day be filled with aloha and dad jokes!
