HAWAII
Hawaii,
a Pacific state, is located in the Pacific Ocean 2,100 miles southwest of the
mainland United States. It is the only state not located on the continent of
North America and the only state made up entirely of islands. The state is made
up of 132 islands, eight of which are considered major islands. Hawaii is the
southernmost state and lies almost entirely in the tropics. Hawaii became the
50th state in 1959. Honolulu is the state's capital and largest city.
Hawaii
is like no other place on earth. Home to one of the world's most active
volcanoes and the world's tallest sea mountain. There are six major islands to
visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii Island. You'll
find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own
adventures, activities and sights. Mark Twain called Hawaii, "That
peaceful land, that beautiful land... the climate, one long delicious summer
day, and the good that die experience no change, for they but fall asleep in
one heaven and wake up in another." We invite you to explore the Islands
of Aloha to find your own heavenly Hawaii experiences.
kauai (Hawaii's island of discovery)
Unwind
and let the oxygen-rich air of Kauai’s Wailua River invigorate your spirit as
you kayak to a cascading waterfall. Or breathe deeply at the edge of the
time-swept Waimea Canyon as it speaks to you without words. On Kauai, native
fishponds amaze with 1,000-year old forward thinking, while legends of the
Napali Coast transport you back in time. From the small towns of Hanapepe and
Old Koloa Town to sunny Poipu Beach, this is truly “Hawaii’s Island of
Discovery.”
Oahu ( the heart of Hawaii)
Let’s play.
On the island of Oahu, learn to ride the waves in Waikiki where surfing was
born or catch a big-wave surf meet on Oahu’s famed North Shore. Between sunrise
and sunset, you’ll have hours to explore the hottest farm to table restaurants,
browse the latest designer and local fashions, check out the urban art scene in
Chinatown or stroll into Hawaii’s history at Iolani Palace. When the sun goes
down, the “Heartbeat of Hawaii” awakens to a new beat, and it’s time to put on
your dancing shoes.
Molakai ( Hawaiian by nature)
“Hawaiian
by nature,“ the island of Molokai remains true to its island roots. There are
no traffic lights—just aloha—in the harbor town of Kaunakakai, where fisherman
haul in their daily catch and farmers showcase fresh-picked produce from
neighboring fields. Quiet your spirit and you’ll feel the mana (power) that
protects the island, from an area near Maunaloa said to be the birthplace of
hula to the indescribable beauty of Halawa Valley. Or, descend 1,700 feet on a
surefooted mule to the remote settlement of Kalaupapa and change your
perspective forever.
Lanai ( Hawaii's most enticing island )
Lanai
is an island of intriguing contrasts. Hike the lunar landscape of Keahiakawelo
(Garden of the Gods) or picnic overlooking Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock), named
for a maiden Puu and her handsome warrior. Two Four Season Resorts pamper
you—one along the seaside, the other in the misty mountains—while Hotel Lanai
in Lanai City welcomes you with old plantation charm. Whether you’re hiking
among native ohia lehua trees on the Munro Trail or making your way to the 18th
hole, Lanai is easily Hawaii’s “Most Enticing Island.”
Maui's ( the valley isle)
Known
as the “Valley Isle,” Maui is dotted with quaint towns, artist communities and
local favorites that have been around for generations. Head to Wailuku for
pastries from a “mom and pop” bakery, or head to Lahaina for a taste of Maui’s
famed farm to table cuisine. From shimmering beaches and sacred Iao Valley to
migrating humpback whales and sunset on Haleakala, it’s not surprising Maui was
voted the “Best Island” by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler for 19 years.
Hawaii ( the big island)
Think
big. Hawaii Island is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain,
but it’s remarkable for more than just its size. Picture yourself visiting
Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, or talk story with a
cultural demonstrator at Puuhonua o Honaunau, a historic park that was once a
place of refuge. Whether you’re walking on a black sand beach, snorkeling with
manta rays, horseback riding in Waimea or sailing along the Kona Coast, Hawaii,
the Big Island is your island for adventure.
