Beach & Ocean

There’s just as much to do in the water as on the water at Fairmont Orchid. Our Hui Holokai beach club ambassadors offer ocean and ʻāina (land) adventures at every turn. Pair snorkeling with a morning canoe adventure. Picnic on the beach and listen to mo’olelo (storytelling) as you learn about the stories, myths and legends that make up the cultural fabric of Hawaiʻi. Reel in the big one and learn how to snorkel with the masters.
