********** FOR THOSE FLYING IN **********
The jam, workshops, and beach party are going to be held on the South side of the island. Hotels and AirBnB rentals closer to Honolulu "Town" will be ideal if you do not plan on renting a car.

PLEASE leave us a message either on the event page or the crew page if you are planning on flying in to attend the event and we'd be glad to assist you in finding a place to stay and sights to visit.

バトルやワークショップ、ビーチパーティーは、主に島の北側で行われます。車がない場合、宿泊はホノルルの街の近くのホテルやAirBnB（エアービーアンドビー）をお勧めします。

飛行機でイベントに参加する場合、ハワイでの宿泊先や観光先をお勧めできるので、イベントページ又はクルーページにメッセージをお願い致します。

Map provided courtesy of The 808 Breakers for all of our out-of-town attendees looking for suggestions of all things relating to food, beaches, hotels, sights, etc.

Ultimately, no list can substitute for real life experiences and stumbling on gems on your own. That being said, please enjoy these hand-picked businesses, trails, and sites.

PLEASE take precaution when hiking or swimming - unfortunately accidents do happen and there can be real danger if you choose to go on an adventure without preparation or during inclement weather.
