Description

Explore a Hawaiian forest on an ATV adventure that also presents insights into Polynesian culture. On your adventure you will drive through the villages of Hawaii, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa where you will enjoy hands-on activities and experiences with your Polynesian guides.

HAWAII ... learn the meaning of the word "Aloha" which has become one of the most famous words in the world. Taste the traditional staple found at Hawaiian Luaus ... freshly prepared poi made from the taro plant. Luaus were born out of the religious taboo that prevented men and women from eating together in ancient Hawaii.

FIJI ... fighting was literally a way of life in these islands . Fijian warriors relied on well developed agility and alertness instead of the protection of armor. While you stop in Fiji, you will be able to test your skills by throwing a traditional spear at its target. Also, enjoy the traditional Fijian game of blindfolded pineapple smashing using a warrior club.

TONGA ... known as the "Friendly Islands" ... at this stop you will learn the mauluulu (a type of sitting dance while on your ATV). Play the lali ... giant wooden drums ... learning how Tongans used them during welcoming and other ceremonies.

SAMOA ... these people know how to have fun ... their sense of humor is known throughout Polynesia. You will see the traditional living quarters, or fale (houses), containing no walls and up to 20 people may sleep on the ground in the same fale. At the Samoan village you will learn how to crack open a coconut using a small rock and have a drink of fresh coconut water. As a final challenge, can you start a fire with two sticks while using the coconut husk? Maybe you will learn how!

This IS a fun tour for younger travelers too, and they can be accommodated as passengers on a four-passenger UTV driven by one of the guides.
