We have lots of people enjoy our Kauai zipline tours who have traveled from far away – and we know traveling (and even vacationing) can be extremely tiring! You don’t want to be zapped of all you energy before you ever arrive, and flying to Hawaii can be a very long trip depending on where you’re traveling from. So, how can you stay energized both during your flight and once you arrive? We have a few tips.
First of all, don’t skimp on the water! Whether you’re in-flight or you already are vacationing in Kauai, hydration is critical for energy.
Make time to rest before you travel. Sleeping on an airplane isn’t easy, so the day or two before your flight be sure you get plenty of sleep, and even during the day take it easy and rest. Running yourself crazy and trying to multi-task right before traveling will only leave you worn out when it’s time to vacation!
Protein-packed snacks are a good idea during flight and while vacationing. From pumpkin seed, jerky and trail mix to almonds and protein bars, bring along lots of healthy snacks to keep you energized. Even when you’re on the island you’ll want to make healthy dining choices and keep those snacks available when you’re hiking, walking the beach, or doing other activities. Sure those pizzas, burgers and fries are delicious – but they’ll leave you overly full and lethargic.
Don’t skip your workout routine because you’re vacationing. Exercise kicks in those endorphins or “feel good” hormones that just make you feel good and stay active. Or, if you intend to hike, bike, swim or even take one of our Kauai zipline tours, you’ll get plenty of exercise having fun. Either way, get a little exercise.
Take time out to rest while you’re in Kauai. We understand you don’t want to miss a minute of fun, but it’s hard to have fun if you’re exhausted! Take an hour or two during the day to rest and rejuvenate at your hotel, condo or other accommodation.
Keep these tips in mind and you can enjoy your vacation without feeling like every drop of energy has been drained from your body! Nobody wants to feel like they need a vacation when they’ve just returned home from one.
Be sure to add some excitement and adventure to your trip with one of our zipline adventures! We think it’s the most fun you’ll have while visiting our beautiful island.
