Aloha! Hawaii is that tropical oasis in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The chain of Hawaiian islands offers endless beaches, warm sunshine, beautiful waterfalls and lush scenery that rivals anywhere else in the world. Hawaii offers visitors the beauty of its land, an ethnic mix of people and a history rich in culture.

Simply, nothing matches the beauty and diversity of the Hawaiian Islands – from lava flows, to tropical flora and rainforests, to incredible waterfalls. There’s no better way to experience the full breadth and beauty of Hawaii than to visit one or more if its diverse islands.

Hawaii consists of an archipelago of tropical islands. The oldest islands are located to the northwest, and the youngest island, Hawaii (Biog Island), to the southeast. The Hawaiian islands have a volcanic origin that begin deep under the blue waters of the Pacific ocean.  Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island is regarded as the most active in the world.

There are six major Hawaiian islands: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii’s Big Island – each has its own distinct charm, yet differences that make them each very unique. Everybody should visit Hawaii at least once in their life.  Many make it an annual event and some even leave their busy lives behind and permanently move to one of the Hawaiian Islands.  Here is a brief summary of the six major islands:

Big Island:
The island of Hawaii is also called the Big Island and the largest of all the Hawaiian Islands.  The Big Island is definitely an island of extremes. The landscape varies from black sand beaches, to ancient rainforests, to endless fields of black lava rock, and of course towering volcanoes – Maunaloa and Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Fishermen are in luck too, as the island offers superb snorkeling and scuba diving, plus the deep-sea fishing that is truly world class. Another unforgettable moment is viewing the amazing Green Sea Turtle.

Kauai:
Kauai is aptly named the garden island. It is the oldest of all the Hawaiian Islands and was formed from volcanic activity approximately 5 million years ago. Kauai is an island known for both its scenic and cultural diversity. Princeville is one of the world’s finest resort communities offering world-class golf courses, luxury resort hotels and a shopping area. Along Kauai’s west shore is the island’s longest stretch of white sandy beaches. Nearby, you can visit Kokee State Park and magical Waimea Canyon. It’s largest canyon in the Pacific and often referred as “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific.”

Lanai:
About 140 square miles in size, the island of Lanai is the sixth largest Hawaiian island.  Lanai is recognized as experiencing some of the best diving in Hawaii. Lana’i is the sixth largest island in Hawaii. Known as the pineapple island, Lanai offers a much slower lifestyle as its hardly inhabited. The result is a soothing, calm and peaceful embrace. Approximately 98% of Lanai is owned by Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle.

Maui:
Maui is the second most popular island, after Oahu. This lush Hawaiian island named the “Valley Isle,” provides an array of scenic beauty and also very popular for weddings and honeymooners.  Maui features towering mountains and beautiful rainforest settings. Plan a visit to Haleakala National Park with its famous volcano that rises to 10,000 ft. Get there early and experience the incredible sunrise that will leave a lasting memory. The famous road to Hana is the 68 mile, curvy Hana Highway.  The scenic road on along Maui’s east coast features dozens of small bridges, scenic waterfalls and plunging pools including the world famous Seven Sacred Pools.

Molokai:
If you really want to get away from everything, a visit to Molokai may be the ideal remedy. There are plenty of outdoor activities to try including, whale watching, deep sea fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking and horseback riding.  For a glimpse back in history, visit Kalaupapa Historical Park, which was the site many Hawaiians want to forget – the infamous Leper Colony from the mid-1800’s.

Oahu:
It’s the most populated of the Hawaiian islands and Oahu offers a wide array of activities. Waikiki is the most popular tourist destination in all of Hawaii, but is actually a beachfront neighborhood of the bustling city of Honolulu. The capital city offers terrific restaurants, art galleries and shopping for all different tastes. On Oahu’s north shore, you’ll find the best hiking and some of the best surfing in the world with many famous surf breaks and winter-time surf contests. Diamond Head is Hawaii’s most recognized landmark. The trail to the summit was first built back in 1908. The historic hiking trail offers stunning coastal views from the top of this dormant volcano formed about 300,000 years ago.

A visit to Hawaii anytime of the year is a magical experience. Hawaii features climate that includes mild and consistent temperatures all throughout the year.   round, moderate humidity, persistence of northeasterly trade winds, remarkable differences in rainfall within short distances, and infrequency of severe storms.

The beauty of Hawaii awaits you …. it’s a combination of breathtaking and incredible beauty that will stimulate the senses and have you begging for more.  Experience Hawaii just once in your life.

You will kick yourself for not visiting the amazing Hawaiian Islands earlier. Enjoy a VIP experience in this tropical paradise. We hope you enjoyed reading about the best of Hawaii. Mahalo!

There’s good reason people can’t help but come back for more of Maui. As any seasoned, return visitor to the tropical Pacific islands will tell you, it’s simply Hawaii for all tastes.

From the bronze bodies that line Ka’anapali Beach in west Maui, to the glitz and glamor of Wailea, to the remoteness of Hana, and just about anything in between, you’ll find your dream destination here – and the probability is, not just once but again and again.

The western side of this much-vaunted “best island in the world” named Maui, features some of the most concentrated beauty of this wonderful place. Protected and picture-perfect bays such as Napili and Kapalua offer safe swimming for both youngsters and adults, some of the best snorkeling in the area for everyone, and your choice of any number of smaller, low-key accommodations and condominiums with a smattering of rental houses thrown in the mix.

Honolua Bay offers some of the planet’s most fabled surf in season, and the endless golden sands and crystal waters of Ka’anapali are the stuff of Hawaiian getaway dreams, lined with large, modern hotels, and good shopping and dining.

Lahaina banyon tree

Nearby historic Lahaina town is an easy drive from anywhere in the west with its colorful mix of art galleries, and island-style drinking and dining, not to mention its bustling harbor, a departure point for various activities out on the water. West Maui has something for everyone, all under the mantle of an agreeable, temperate tropical climate most of the year.

Head south to Wailea, and you might be forgiven for mistaking your surroundings for Beverly Hills. This is where the rich and famous stay and play: Premium shopping, dining, golfing and beach-going abound in this enclave of the very finest on the island. The beaches are glorious, the climate dry, the ambiance highly toned and luxurious. It’s the Hawaii-deluxe experience that you will find along this stretch of coastline, arguably unsurpassed anywhere else in the islands.

Not surprisingly, the counterpoint to Wailea lies as far removed from here as it is possible to be on a small island, on the very opposite side of the 10,000-foot dormant volcano of Mt. Haleakala. At the end of one of the most beautiful drives in the world, and a good few hours’ north and then eastward, is the Hawaii of old: the tiny unspoilt hamlet of Hana. The drive to Hana is amazing and so beautiful.

On Maui’s easternmost reaches, beyond the legendary surf breaks of the north shore and the sugarcane fields, here’s where you’ll find true peace and tranquility in a quintessential tropical rain forest setting dotted with waterfalls, bamboo forests and rustic roadside stalls. Accommodations are fewer but a good range of options does exist, and sandy strips like Hamoa Beach are uncrowded palm-fringed jewels. Hana is remote and may not be for everyone, but that’s what makes it the unique Maui experience that it is.

Wherever you end up staying on Maui, it’s hardly possible to leave and regret it. It’s a Hawaiian island small enough to see great diversity in short time and distance, yet big enough to leave something undiscovered for next time. I’d put money on it.

Do it once, and you too will be back for more of that tropical, Hawaiian paradise – Maui.
