I enjoy traveling on my hands and feet than vehicle transportation. Other than I would save more money to add another country or island to my destinations, I save expenses to repair early weakened bones and muscles. I used to get my full exercise by hiking on mountains but when I stayed at Na Pali Coast, I discovered sailing and snorkeling can be also top body builders.

Sailing in Kauai boat tours already gave me the estimation of what beauty and depths I could reach in snorkeling, so I am secured of where I would go. Their snorkeling exercise involved reliable breathing gadget at the same time only swimming near the surface of the ocean so I was more relaxed in enjoying the view while still able to utilize my arms and legs.

I booked my trip on http://www.napali.com/ so I was able to know beforehand when to chance upon the Kauai whale watching. The Hawaiian Humpback whales only swim near the island between December and April, which was why I timed my visit in the Christmas Season, too far from the whales’ leave. I had closer contact with the whales because I also had enough time to learn sailing on my own from one of their expert captains. Exercise remains a part of the activity in balancing my weight on the boat with my feet while strengthening my hand grip as I manage the sailor’s wheel.

Mountain climbing will be my first love but I have a special liking for island hopping now.
