Wondering what hobbies you might want to try after moving? Consider these 5 hobbies you can enjoy as a Hawaii resident.

1. Surfing

Many people have dreamed of moving to Hawaii and learning to surf. On the Big Island there are plenty of surf shops where you will find everything you need, even as a beginner. Don't forget to talk with the owners about which breaks to try first, and consider signing up for lessons to get the hang of it.

Living in Hawaii means you could surf every day if you want to, with water temperatures warm enough even in the winter to be comfortable if you have a wet suit. 

2. Stand Up Paddleboarding

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is another great way to take full advantage of living on an island. It is a great core workout and allows you to explore on the water at your own pace. This is another activity you can enjoy all year round, and often will not require you to get in the water at all (unless you fall in as you get the hang of the balance). 

3. Gardening

While you may have enjoyed gardening on the mainland, living in Hawaii will take it to the next level. There are many plants you can grow year round, and you can even try growing unique tropical plants and flowers that would never have made it in your gardening zone on the mainland. 

Gardening in Hawaii is a year round hobby if you want it to be! Many homes in Hawaii already feature beautiful gardens and mature fruit trees to get you started. 

4. Hiking

The Big Island is a perfect place to live if you enjoy hiking, with an abundance of trails to explore. Hike to a waterfall, up a volcano, or along the coastline to take in the breathtaking natural beauty of this diverse island. No matter your stamina and ability, you can find a hike that will suit what you are looking for. 

5. Snorkeling

When you imagine your ideal Hawaii vacation, you likely picture snorkeling and/or scuba diving. As a resident of Hawaii, you can invest in snorkel gear that fits you comfortably and be ready to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the ocean at any time. Enjoy the coral reefs, tide pools, and even the open ocean to peacefully take in the majesty of life beneath the surface of the ocean.
