Hualalai's anniversary week includes an outrigger paddle, children's marine education, tidepool exploration and family activities on Hawaii's coast.
A holiday shaped around the water
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Hawaii's Kona-Kohala coast is marking its 30th anniversary with a week of activities from 25 September to 2 October 2026. Alongside dining and cultural events, the programme includes small-craft and marine-learning experiences suited to families who enjoy being close to the sea.
The resort published its schedule in July and the anniversary week is now under way. Its invitation covers guests and members, not general public admission, so travellers should confirm eligibility and any booking requirements before visiting.
A morning aboard an outrigger
An outrigger paddle is scheduled through Alaka'i Nalu on Sunday 27 September, with 30-minute departures on the hour between 7am and 11am. The activity offers a direct connection with a traditional form of local watercraft and a different experience from a powered dayboat.
The release provides the timing but does not specify weather or individual participation restrictions. As with any small-craft outing, the provider's current conditions, safety briefing and suitability advice should take priority over an advance events calendar.
Introducing younger guests to the coast
Kumu Kai Marine Center is holding a fish-feeding and children's marine education session on 27 September, followed by a tidepool tour on 28 September. These two activities allow families to explore coastal ecology without needing to plan a full-day boat trip.
The resort's wider week also includes lei making and a programme on the history of Ka'upulehu. Alternating water-based activity with local culture gives a family holiday more variety than a sequence of unrelated hotel amenities.
A practical plan for a short stay
The celebrations include sports, a collaborative mural and daily anniversary touches around the property, with some additional treatments and merchandise priced separately. Four Seasons says most activities are complimentary unless noted, but that should be checked against the latest individual event details.
The announcement is about a coastal resort's programme, not a marina or boat-rental service. Travellers arranging an independent leisure-boat outing should still confirm local launch facilities, navigation guidance and permitted waters through their actual operator.
