What you need to know before you go

    Hawaii is a string of grand, tropical islands in the Pacific, each with their own appeal. The most popular is Oahu, home to the capital of Honolulu, where you will find famous spots such as Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor. Maui is a surfer’s paradise and captures the idea of Hawaii as a top beach destination thanks to its stunning shoreline. Hawaii’s Big Island offers more rugged experience, being home to an active volcano and pristine coral reefs. 

    Kauai in the north is often called the ‘Garden Isle’ for its rugged green valleys and lush mountain rainforests and waterfalls. Away from the common crowds, there are the remote islands of Molokai and Lanai. These are the least populated of Hawaii’s main islands and offer rustic escapes and seascapes. What the Hawaiian Islands do have in common are natural beauty, an exotic Polynesian culture and history, and amazing resorts.
