Hawaiian Islands

Oahu: is home to Honolulu and the world-famous Waikiki Beach. It is a place for the young at heart, with a lively nightlife – especially in Waikiki. Days can be spent either relaxing on the beach or surfing the huge waves on Oahu’s north shore. Visitors may like to take the opportunity to visit the Iolani Palace – dating back to 1882 and constructed in a mixture of European styles by King Kalakaua. The more recent history of Hawaii can be gleaned in a visit to the US naval bases on Oahu.

Maui: is the Valley Isle of white-sand beaches and breathtaking vistas. The well-designed resorts on the island have meant that Maui now rivals Oahu as the most popular tourist island. Resort guests can partake in horse riding, golf, tennis, sailing, canoeing and a wide range of water sports. In addition, since the end of the whaling industry, humpback whales are frequently sighted offshore enjoying the warm Maui waters.

Kauai: is known as the Garden Island and offers a landscape of luscious shades of green. Formed by one central volcano, the sheer height of the mountain means that the peak experiences excellent rainfall and the island has a number of picturesque rivers. Relax and enjoy swimming on Poipu, Anini and Lumahai beaches or be astounded by the beautiful views of Waive Canyon from the lookout.

Hawaii: is referred to as the Big Island to distinguish it from the state of Hawaii. As its name suggests, it is the largest of Hawaii’s islands – in fact, it’s twice the size of all the other islands put together. This tranquil island is renowned for its beautiful exotic flowers, especially orchids. A trip to the Volcanoes National Park is suggested.
