The Hawaiian islands form an archipelago of nineteen islands and atolls. The Hawaiian Islands below are the best known for vacations.

OAHU: "The Gathering Place" - Oahu is the home of the State Capitol and the majority of Hawaii’s population. The most popular travel destination in the Hawaiian chain, visitors enjoy all the cultural amenities of Honolulu or can find peace and serenity outside of Waikiki if that is what you desire.

KAUAI: "The Garden Isle" - Kauai is oldest island in the chain, graced with a dramatic, natural beauty. It is also one of the smaller islands with a laid back atmosphere and great sandy beaches.

MAUI: "The Valley Isle" - Maui is the second largest island in the chain and has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Humpback whales travel to Maui shores in the winter months.

HAWAII: "The Big Island" - Hawaii is vast enough to hold 11 of the world’s 13 climatic zones and is home to active volcanoes on the southeast coast.

LANAI: A true island getaway for luxury, romance and privacy. Lanai is the ideal travel destination for those who want to escape the crowds.

MOLAKAI: “The Friendly Isle”. An island that has preserved it’s connection with the past. This is the place to just sit back and relax and live like one of the "locals".

Many of the hotels in Waikiki are across the street from and easily accessible to the beach. The prices are normally lower than a hotel on the beach. Request a high floor for better views too!

Hawaii is an awesome destination, however I would not recommend traveling in January or February, because this is the rainy season. Also, in Honolulu a must see is the Polynesian Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor.
-Sherrie Stroh, Travel Specialist

I always recommend clients to buy the entertainment book for Hawaii for many dining discounts etc.

If you go to Hawaii you should definitely try to go to more than one island. Also make sure you have enough time over there (anywhere from 8 -10 nights). That way you can really do it right. It is a trip of a lifetime... so why rush through it?
-Kathy Grant, Travel Specialist

Plan on visiting Oahu first. Honolulu, which no one should miss, is a very busy, big city and it's nice to get the hustle and bustle done first, so you can relax on the other laidback islands.
