I Rappelled Over The Edge of a Hotel in Honolulu for the Special Olympics

Just an average afternoon in Waikīkī, working my way 400 feet down the side of the Hyatt Regency while taking in some solid beach views.

ACTIVITY
Rappel down 40 stories to raise money for the Special Olympics

COMPANY NAME
Special Olympics Hawai‘i (sohawaii.org)

WHO SHOULD GO?
Anyone who has ever dreamed of something like this, but never felt safe enough, should take advantage of the team that assists you on this drop. And, just scroll down to check out the unbeatable payoff.

LENGTH
From the rooftop to the pool deck is 400 feet. The time you decide to take making your way down is entirely up to you. But we suggest milking it for two reasons: a) the views and b) it’s actually easier for beginners to slow down and relax when focusing on what you need to do.

FEE
Registration deposit fees for individuals is $100 and team members is $25 per person. Returning reppellers get to skip the registration deposit.

WHERE
Hyatt Regency Waikīkī Beach Resort & Spa, 2424 Kalākaua Avenue.
