Do-It-Yourself "Amazing Race" Adventures

Outrigger Canoeing in Hawaii

The TV Version: For the last Detour of the sixth season, two of the three remaining teams chose to paddle down a two-mile course near Puu Ualakaa State Park.

The Live Version: One of the best views in Honolulu is afforded by driving up Round Top Drive in Puu Ualakaa State Park, where a sweeping vista takes in Diamond Head and downtown. Fans of professional outrigger canoeing will want to be in town for October’s Molokai Hoe, a 41-mile open water race from Molokai to Waikiki; novices looking for instruction on the ancient Hawaiian sport can inquire at outrigger canoe concessions on Waikiki Beach.
