Hawaii occupies a unique position in the travel landscape: it's a US state, but it looks and feels nothing like the mainland. Each island has a distinct character. Oahu is the most visited and the most developed, taking in Waikiki, Diamond Head and Pearl Harbour. Maui is the honeymoon island, with the Hana Highway and Haleakala volcano. The Big Island has active lava flows and snow-capped Mauna Kea. Kauai is the most remote and arguably the most beautiful.
The outdoor offering is exceptional: surfing, snorkelling, hiking through dramatic volcanic terrain, and whale watching from December through April.
