Hawaiian Activities

Hula

As part of our Daily Activity Program, IIE Hawaii offers free beginner hula lessons to students at the school once a week.

The world-famous dance is the heartbeat of Hawaiian culture and history. The stories of ancient Hawaii are preserved in the beautiful dance steps of hula. 

Private/semi-private hula lessons, and English lesson and hula packages are also available.  

Surfing

IIE Hawaii offers surf lessons through Girls Who Surf, an established surfing school with high quality, safe programs. IIE Hawaii also offers English course and surfing packages, Hawaiian English Adventures.

Surfing was the sport of kings in ancient Hawaii. Olympic swimming champion and Native Hawaiian, Duke Kahanamoku, is known as the Father of Surfing because he popularized surfing in the 1920s. Join our surfing activities and learn to do the Sport of Kings.

Ribbon Lei Making

Leis are a traditional feature of Hawaii culture. We give leis to people when they arrive in Hawaii and for special occasions such as birthdays, farewells, promotions, weddings, and more. Leis can be made of a variety of materials such as flowers, shells, nuts, and ribbon. 

At IIE you will the have chance to learn how to make a ribbon lei. We choose to add the ribbon lei to our activity schedule because we want you to be able to take a long lasting memory of your time back with you to your country when you go home. Also once you learn how to make the leis you can make them for your friends and family as souvenirs!

Hawaiian Quilting

Hawaiian quilting is a tradition that has been developing for over 175 years. As part of our activity program, IIE offers students lessons in this beautiful craft at the school.

Four methods of constructing and designing a quilt, when combined, make the Hawaiian quilting process unique. These processes include:

• the use of entire pieces of fabric for the applique and background
• the “snowflake” method of cutting the design all at one time
• the use of usually only two colors of fabric and
• the echo, or outline style of quilting which follows the contour of the applied design throughout the entire quilt 

Ukulele Lesson

The ukulele is a well-loved and well-known instrument of Hawaii. It can be heard in almost all Hawaiian music, and is an important part of the traditional hula dance.

IIE is very proud to feature weekly ukulele lessons to our students.

History of the Ukulele
The ukulele was introduced to the Hawaiian islands in 1879 by a group of Portuguese workers arriving on a ship called Ravenscrag. One of the men, Joao Fernandes, was a craftsman who brought his braguinha to Hawaii, and played it for the Hawaiians. It was quickly embraced by the native Hawaiians, who named it the ukulele.
