Subwing
New at Hualālai Resort with the Alaka‘i Nalu is a new innovative way to see the ocean called subwinging. Here you will glide like a dolphin or spin underwater while holding on to a carbon fiber dual wing connected with a rotatable swivel that allows you to hold on with one hand on each wing as you are under the water or on the surface. You can easily maneuver the subwing by tilting both wings downward to dive and upward to resurface. Once you try this you’ll be hooked…
Subwing is an add on activity for the Private Ribcraft Adventure.
