I ‘ve never been a water baby; when I picked my starter Pokémon, I opted for fire types (Charmander over Squirtle and Bulbasaur any day). And with Game of Thrones, I’m of House Targaryen (fire-breathing dragons and some rough and tumble with a strong and capable Dothraki hunk? Yes, please).
I say this because as I set off for Hawaii, I wasn’t quite sure how I’d fare at a destination I’ve always imagined would offer mostly water-based entertainment. I should also add that I have a phobia surrounding large fish and am not the strongest swimmer (although I did quite like watching Baywatch). What I hadn’t factored in was that Virgin Holidays have recently launched more than 300 experiences across North America, so that you can make your trip to Hawaii bespoke. And even avoid the water if you want.
