Hawaii Vacations, Hawaii Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Located in the center of the North Pacific, Hawai'i is one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse states in the US. Hawai'i has succeeded in maintaining its Hawaiian and Pacific cultural roots, while struggling with its place as a popular tourist destination. Hawaiian culture has been preserved in the 'olelo [language,] hula [dance,] mo'olelo [history] and in the very 'aina [land.] that you will visit.

The recent history of the islands can also be experienced at sites like the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor to the beach boys teaching you how to surf at Waikiki. Talk to the local Older Adults at a local coffee shop or out fishing and enjoy yourself while they take you on a trip down memory lane.

Rich in culture, each of the islands has a distinct character all its own. The Big Island is literally alive with active volcanoes and acres of rain forest. O'ahu is home to the largest city and state capital, Honolulu, as well as famous Waikiki. Maui is a wonderland of beaches while Kaua'i, the garden isle, is lush with the beauty of Hanalei's taro fields and Wai'ale'ale's forests, and don't forget the breathtaking views of the Na Pali coast.

Hawaii's blowing Tradewinds, a featured attraction, can always be experienced; temperatures are always very pleasant. So, whether you are looking for the rush of the city, or the relaxing sound of waves crashing against the shore, Hawaii has it all!
