EXCITE - Take the Plunge in a Hawaiian Outrigger CanoeOutrigger Canoe Paddling is Hawaii’s #1 competitive sport and The Fairmont Orchid Beachboys can get you in an outrigger canoe, put a paddle in your hands and teach you the techniques to master this ocean activity. And they should know, they're paddling champions and coaches! You'll glide over the breakwater at the lip of our protected lagoon into the Pacific Ocean in all its vast glory. Stroke-stroke-stroke, hupp and over to the alternate side, silently slicing through the clear blue waters as you learn about navigational currents, celestial navigation and the ocean way of life for the ancient Hawaiians.

ADMIRE - Erupting Volcano Kiluaea Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution -- processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with unique ecosystems, and a distinct human culture. The park highlights two of the world's most active volcanoes, and offers insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and views of dramatic volcanic landscapes.
The Park is a 3-hour drive south of The Fairmont Orchid in the southern, lower central portion of our Big, Big Island. Make a day trip an circumnavigate the island by stopping at coffee country in the south, the rain forest north, Hilo on the East ... so many options.

SAVOR - Seafood Oceanfront Dining at it's BestBig Island-inspired cutting edge cuisine takes center stage at The Fairmont Orchid's Brown's Beach House restaurant known for its expansive ocean views, incomparable cuisine and sophisticated service with Aloha. Innovative island-inspired cuisine is drawn from simple, pure flavors of locally grown produce using the diverse variety of fresh seafood from the island waters and the finest mainland meats. The chefs redefine the continuing evolution of Pacific Rim and most recently Hawaiian Regional Cuisine into what we now call Big Island Cuisine. The restaurant is named after Francis H. I'i Brown, considered the most internationally well-known Hawaiian athlete of the 1920's other than Duke Kahanamoku, and former landowner of this area now known as Mauna Lani Resort.

INDULGE - Make Room for Romance - Special Evening DelightThe couple crosses the threshold of love the instant they open their guest room door. They’ll follow a trail of orchid petals leading from the door to their king-sized bed, where the blooms are seductively arranged in a heart shape upon the top sheet.
A bucket of ice-cold champagne and two flutes are within easy reach. Two cotton bath robes are positioned on the bed (easily cast aside), and two pairs of bedroom slippers are placed beside the bed on a slipper mat.
The mood is made even sweeter with a plate of luscious, chocolate-dipped Big Island exotic fruit, including papaya, star fruit and pineapple. A bottle of tropical massage lotion drops sultry hints from the nightstand, and a romantic Hawaiian music CD plays softly in the background.
But romance is not limited to the bedroom alone. In the large marble bathroom there are floating candles and an assortment of bath crystals and bath gels line the large bathtub. Cold showers are a thing of the past.
Romantics can book the “Make Room for Romance” turndown service in advance through The Fairmont Orchid’s Weddings & Special Events department at +1.808.887.7145; or added to any reservation (whether your own or for a friend…) by calling The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii.
