Vacationers booking luxurious villas in Hawaii will undoubtedly be treated to some of the best views on the island. Yet while the vistas from the pool area may well be worth writing home about, more adventurous vacationers may be looking for a slightly different outlook on the scenic island. If you are hoping to spice up your trip and try a unique sport, then booking a powered hang glider tour of Oahu may be just what the doctor ordered.

These triangular open-cockpit aircraft allow travelers to take to the skies and tour the island of Oahu from a bird's eye view. Travelers take control of these ultra-light flying machines, with an instructor safely monitoring the controls from the aft position, of course, and can explore the North Shore with the wind in their hair and a smile on their face.

Not only is this an exhilarating experience without equal, but it also allows vacationers to take in the breadth of Oahu's natural splendor, from its pristine beaches to its lush jungles and back again.

After a day in the heavens, return to earth to relax in luxury rentals, where a bevy of amenities will meet your every desire and help you get your head out of the clouds.
