Hawaii

The "Aloha State" is a kingdom ruled by the sun and guided by a warm, welcoming people. Spectacular resorts dot the coastline and world-class dining, shopping, and beaches beckon. With six neighbor islands, it can be difficult to decide which Hawaiian Island is right for you. Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kauai, and the big Island of Hwaii all offer magnificent scenery and a wonderful South Seas ambiance, yet all offer their own unique vacation experience. Frequent air service and islands cruises make it easy to get from one island to the next.
Known as the "gathering place" the island of OAHU is the commercial and population center of Hawaii. From the legendary beaches of Waikiki to the capital of Honolulu and the infamous blue waters of Pearl Harbor, Oahu offers enough to see and do that you could spend you entire vacation just on this scenic island alone.
Legend has it that long ago the demigod Maui climbed to the top of Haleakala Crater where he lassoed the sun and held it captive until it promised to slow down its passage over the Hawaiian Islands.

No visit to Maui is complete without a stop in Lahaina, a former whaling village that is home to over a dozen historical points of interest, charming shops, restaurants with views, and fun nightlife. Let Maui capture your heart and, like the sun, you'll want to linger here a little longer.
Sometimes called the "friendly Isle," or the "Most Hawaiian Island" MOLOKAI is the least developed of the major islands in the Hawaiian chain. There are no tall buildings and no traffic lights. Free from stress and congestion, visitors leave the modern world behind to enjoy simple pleasures such as the island's abundant natural beauty.

If you want to escape the crowds for a vacation that's purely relaxing, "Hawaii's Secluded Island" of LANAI offers carefree resort living at its best.
The oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, KAUAI was most likely the first to be settled by the native Polynesians who arrived on Kauai some 500 years before reaching the other islands. With a landscape of winding rivers, spectacular waterfalls, vibrant flowers and succulent papaya trees, this "Garden Isle" is also considered by many to be Hawaii's most beautiful island.
The Big Island of Hawaii is almost twice as large as all the other Hawaiian islands combined. Befitting its great size, the island offers many things to see and do from historical sightseeing to wine tasting, and even winter snow skiing! Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, follow current lava flows as they travel to the sea at Kaimu/Kalapana, witness the creation of new black sand beaches.
