Hawaii

Hawaii is where the earth is still being born and the spirit of “Aloha” is a living, breathing force. It is an archipelago where every island has a distinct personality, from the emerald spires of Kauai to the fiery heart of the Big Island.

Oahu: The Gathering Place

Oahu is the heartbeat of Hawaii, blending big-city energy with iconic natural wonders. You can pay your respects at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, hike the volcanic tuff cone of Diamond Head for panoramic views of the Pacific, or watch the world’s best surfers tackle the monster waves of the North Shore. In Honolulu, the newly renovated Moana Surfrider remains a landmark of Victorian elegance, while the Waikiki Beachcomber now hosts a permanent Cirque du Soleil show, Auana, which tells the story of the islands through world-class acrobatics and hula.

Maui: The Valley Isle

Maui is an island of dramatic landscapes and legendary sunrises. The journey to Haleakala National Park to witness the sun rise from above the clouds is a spiritual experience. For road-trip enthusiasts, the Road to Hana offers over 600 curves and 50 bridges, leading you past hidden waterfalls and black sand beaches. While West Maui continues its path of resilience, most of the island—including the world-class snorkeling at Molokini Crater and the golden sands of Wailea—is ready to welcome you with open arms.

Kauai & The Big Island

• Kauai (The Garden Isle): This is the Hawaii of film sets. The Na Pali Coast, with its 3,000-foot velvet-green cliffs, is best seen by helicopter or catamaran. Inland, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” Waimea Canyon, offers deep red gorges and lush hiking trails.

• The Big Island: Here, you can experience 13 different climate zones in a single day. At Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, you can walk through ancient lava tubes and witness the glow of Kilauea. For a truly unique adventure, take a Night Manta Ray Snorkel in Kona to swim alongside these gentle giants as they dance in the spotlight.
