For those looking to explore the lush landscapes of Hawai‘i, there's now a top-rated website to visit. The Explore Outdoor Hawai‘i website, which launched in July, won a gold award in the Government Agency category of the 2024 Horizon Interactive Awards (HIA), as per a release from Department of Land and Natural Resources on the Office of the Governor.
The site is user-friendly and provides information about recreational activities across Hawai‘i. According to the press release, Explore Outdoor Hawai‘i covers topics like hiking safety, camping, hunter education, and filming. It aims to enhance outdoor experiences in Hawai‘i.
The website also highlights Hawai‘i's cultural, historical, and natural resources managed by DLNR, encouraging responsible enjoyment. It offers resources on boating, pono fishing practices, and permits for commercial enterprises wanting to access Hawai‘i's resources.
Developed in collaboration with Tyler Technologies, the site (outdoor.hawaii.gov) has become a trusted source for both locals and tourists seeking responsible access to Hawai‘i’s treasures, whether on land or in the water.
