SUPPORT LOCAL
At HawaiiActivities.com, we are always looking for ways to help local businesses and communities in Hawaii. Our business has supported hundreds of small local tour operators by giving them a platform to promote their unique activities in the last two decades.
As Hawaii slowly recovers from Covid-19 pandemic, rebuilding our local economy is more important than ever before. A lot of our industry partners have suffered tremendously last year, and many of them were forced to shut down their businesses.
But it’s not too late, and we are committed to help our community. We are looking to partner with an array of Hawaii-based YouTube content creators to promote local island businesses, tours and activities. Whether your channel is focused on aquatic adventures, hiking through rainforests, showcasing local restaurants, or simply showing off the beauty of Hawaii, we can work together to support local.
2021 YouTube Sponsorship Contest
We will select a number of YouTube content creators to sponsor this year, and those selected will be given the opportunity to experience a variety of different Hawaii tours and activities at no cost to you. All of these tours are provided by small local businesses, and with our sponsorship, you will be able to promote these one-of-a-kind companies and their employees on your YouTube channel.
