OUTSIDE HAWAI’I
is the result of 20+ years of hands-on experience in traditional & outdoor fitness, ocean sports training, human performance, wellness & guest service - the art of listening & asking questions.
We’ve perfected a travel lifestyle that blends life-long sport, performance, adventure, personal growth, connection to the natural world, relaxation & fun.
We support clean beaches and coastlines, a plastic-free Hawai'i, non-toxic sunscreen, local farmers & restaurants, healthy forests and happy, inspired humans.
Todd Clark Founder
Waimea, Hawai’i
My journey into the world of athletics, sports, and outdoor movement began in 1989 when I made the life-changing move from Indiana to Hawai’i. It was here that I discovered the remarkable healing and strengthening benefits of an adventurous, active lifestyle.
Despite facing numerous physical challenges, including major surgeries and injuries, Hawai'i became my sanctuary, offering solace and recovery from life's tribulations.
For over 24 years, I've immersed myself in the extraordinary natural wonders of the Big Island, crafting transformative experiences for travelers that showcase its beauty through hikes, swims, paddles, surfs, sails, bike rides, and more.
If you're a lifelong athlete seeking an enriching and active vacation, our itineraries are tailored to ensure a successful journey. We prioritize timing, pace, logistics, and insider experiences to curate a travel style that balances exhilarating activities with restorative moments.
Discover the regenerative power of travel and return home revitalized and invigorated, with a fresh perspective on what it means to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of Hawai'i. Our aim is to redefine your travel experience, leaving behind exhaustion, frustration, and illness often associated with conventional tourism.
“Don’t be a liability.”
The lifestyle & training of Hawai’i’s Watermen & women are also a daily inspiration for myself and the creation of Outside Hawai’i.
A big influence on my own personal development and training has been Laird Hamilton - a pioneer on so many levels.
His book, “Force of Nature,” lays a framework for health that resonated deeply with me.
