GETAWAY: McDonalds Hawaii CompetitionThere are limited opportunities in everyday life for adults to have fun and be playful. Every day you wake up, shower, catch the train or bus, work, eat, back to work, catch the train or bus, eat and sleep. Where's the fun? This is why McDonald's are giving Getaway viewers the chance to win a fun-filled holiday to Hawaii.
The winner and three friends will get to explore everything that Honolulu has to offer while spending five nights in a four-star hotel. They will get to tour around Hawaii in a 60-minute helicopter flight and play with dolphins during a three-hour snorkelling tour. The winner and their friends will learn to surf in a two-hour surfing lesson and also partake in traditional luau dinner.
This is all thanks to McDonald's, a company that celebrates the ‘big kid’ in all of us.
