Not Your Ordinary Music Festival: Wanderlust O’ahu Lets You Choose Your Own Adventure

wanderlust 2016

Itching to experience something new? Dig your toes into the sand outside of the magical Turtle Bay Resort on the Island of O’ahu and immerse yourself in meditation, water activities, incredible meals, and of course, music! If you are not the type to find the constant debauchery that surrounds most of today’s festivals or the pushy crowds, spilled drinks, and other chaos that goes hand in hand with enjoying your favorite bands, this festival may very well be the perfect one for you to attend this year!

Wanderlust will be making its return to Turtle Bay Resort for the fourth annual Wanderlust O’ahu! The kicker: Wanderlust’s headliners are not heavy hitter DJ’s or your favorite rock band; They are yoga superstars. But, don’t be discouraged if that’s not your thing. Headlined by yoga superstars Ana Forest, Maty Ezraty, Vinnie Marino, Chad Dennis and Joan Hyman, the four-day festival, taking place February 25 – 28, 2016, lets attendees choose their own adventure from a variety of activities aside from yoga. These include the likes of live music, meditation, surfing, paddle boarding, explorative hikes, kayaking, running treks, horseback riding, and fine dining. In addition to some of the greatest yoga and meditation experts, Wanderlust also brings speakers, chefs, artists, and performers alike to curate an experience that reaches your mind, body, and soul–and you’re the one in charge. Your festival, your way! 

This year, there are new and noteworthy additions at Wanderlust O’ahu 2016 and they are not ones to be missed!

WHAT’S NEW AT WANDERLUST O’AHU 2016?

Whether you’re a beginner yogi or have been practicing for years, you will leave Wanderlust O’ahu changed, and most importantly, enlightened. Check out the video below to catch a glimpse of what to expect at the fest:

While each music festival differentiates itself from the others in some aspect, Wanderlust introduces an entirely new experience and adds a sense of calm to what is usually a chaotic and crazy couple of days at a music festival. With so many multi-day fests coming up, Wanderlust is going to be the perfect getaway. Can’t wait for this one.

Attendees will also enjoy unique experiences curated by a number of Wanderlust partners including:

Aveda, will present the Beauty Bar, a space for relaxation and rejuvenation. Stop by for a quick hairstyling (yogi-friendly, of course!) from their experts, experience Aveda’s wellness rituals of renewal, and find aromas that help bring balance to the body through a selection of naturally-derived products that help connect beauty, environment and well-being.

Sanuk®, not your average footwear brand from Southern California, that, this year, has partnered with Wanderlust in celebration of the immense joys of Yoga and have champion its renowned line of grin-inducing Yoga Mat Sandals. In an effort to spread smiles with yoga-lovers, Sanuk has teamed up with several Wanderlust festivals to create one-of-a-kind experiences for festival-goers.  

Wanderlust O’ahu 2016 will also welcome a soon to-be-announced Sanuk brand ambassador who will participate as an instructor at the festival and be featured in Sanuk content throughout the year. To open the incredible Wanderlust experience to others, there were two interactive digital contests in which grand prize winners were chosen to experience the 2016 O’ahu festival compliments of Sanuk. Winners from Sanuk’s ‘Try ‘Em On For Sighs” contest and the ‘Always Yoga at Heart’ contest which was hosted in conjunction with retailer Flip Flop Shops, will be the lucky ones that get to enjoy four days of fun-filled, mindful living.
