[O’ahu] [Mau’i] [Hawai’i] [Kaua’i] [Moloka’i] [Lana’i]
(click one to read about it or scroll down):
The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The weather is friendly. The temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees all year long. It's a little warmer in summer, and a little cooler in winter, but every day is a beach day for somebody.
The environment is friendly. The physical beauty of Hawai’i is almost unparalleled. Majestic mountains were created millions of years ago by volcanic activity that thrust these islands three miles from the ocean floor. Wave action across endless eons of time created coral reefs, and then battered and broke them to create miles of white sand beach.
Our position at the center of the Pacific ensured that almost every plant and animal
who would find a home here would come as an invited guest.
There are no strangers in Paradise. Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawai’i is the genuine warmth of our people. We call it the spirit of Aloha. It has allowed a melting pot of cultures from all over the world to find common ground, and a new home, in this most gentle of places.

O’ahu - " The Gathering Place"[Back to Top of Page]
O’ahu is the sun and fun capital of the Hawaiian islands with an array of sea, land and sporting activities from which to choose. Visitors will enjoy hiking through rainforests, biking along mountain ranges and swimming in the azure blue waters of the Pacific. These activities are excellent vehicles to explore the environment, history and experience the culture of the island.
White sandy beaches gently caressed by warm, crystal waters of the Pacific Ocean are one of the attributes that today make Oahu a premiere destination. The Pacific Ocean has played a long and valuable role in the history of the islands, bringing many people and cultures to its shores. As visitors enjoy the sun, beauty and beaches of O’ahu and the neighbor islands, influences of diverse cultures and peoples and reminders of a rich and colorful past can be found everywhere. Guests need only look around them, whether in Waikiki or downtown Honolulu, to see glimpses of Hawaii's past that have helped to mold its present.
The South Shore coastline is known for its many family beaches. Outings such as snorkeling, tide pooling and swimming are great recreational activities for local families picnicking along the beach.
The West Shore (Leeward side) has many excellent beaches. This coast is known for offshore fishing spots. Winter months see the largest waves, which reach heights of more than 15 feet.
The North Shore is best known for its world-class surfing and huge winter swells. During the winter months, waves reach heights of 25 feet.
The East Shore (Windward side) has lush tropical beach settings, which are favorite locations for windsurfing and sailing enthusiasts. Northeast tradewinds keep the coast cool 90 percent of the year.

MAU’I - "The Valley Isle"[Back to Top of Page]
The island of Mau’i is the Valley Isle. It gets its name because when viewed from the air, it looks like a big valley sitting in between the 2 volcanos that formed the island. Mau’i is known as the"Best Island", white sandy beaches, luxurious resorts, the waterfront town of Lahaina, great golf courses, Haleakala National Park, humpback whales and the road to Hana.
Mau’i has incredible natural diversity with microclimates ranging from rainforest to desert. Its 
remarkably diverse climate and topography also offer unique opportunities. Explore the Island's most recent eruption -- just 200 years old, or an alpine forest planted with dozens of varieties of trees from around the world.
Or, take a break from watching the beach action in Kaanapali. Just turn your beach chair around and treat yourself to an ever-changing panorama of rainbows chasing their tails high on the slopes of the West Mau’i Mountains.
Try snorkeling and scuba diving in crystal clear warm waters. Go horseback 
riding or hiking through lush rain forest trails. In East Mau’i, feast on spectacular views of the incredible 10,000-foot Mount Haleakala volcanic crater.
Enjoy manicured golf courses, dine in superb restaurants and clubs, and visit Lahaina town's uniquely elegant boutiques and art galleries.

HAWAI’I - "The Big Island"
[Back to Top of Page]
The Big Island of Hawai’i is an arena of beauty, diversity and constant change. Hawai’i is the largest and youngest of all the Hawaiian Islands. The Big Island is believed to have been first inhabited by Polynesians around the fifth century and by A.D. 1000 coastal areas were fairly well established.
Black sand beaches, volcanos, world class big game fishing 
off the Kona coast, where some of the best coffee in the world comes from, this is the Big Island.
Kona Hawai’i, the Big Island’s party spot, shopping paradise, restaurant bonanza , and marlin fishing capital of the world. Kona is on the lee side of the Big Island, so the fishing is in calm water and right outside the harbor. You never know what you are going to catch, but there's always a chance 
you will hook into a monster blue marlin up to 1600 pounds! Kona has some of the best marlin boats and captains in the world, and a lot to choose from.
Scuba diving is superb, the water is clear and warm, with lots of beautiful tropical fish to photograph.
"The Big Island" is home to famous Mauna Kea, the world's largest mountain, rising more than 33,000 feet from the ocean floor. (The top of it is 13,796 feet above sea level.) It houses one of the world's most important observatories. To the north is snow-capped Mauna Loa which is 13,680 feet tall.

KAUA’I- "The Garden Isle"
[Back to Top of Page]
Kaua’i is the oldest of all the Hawaiian Islands, and because of its untouched appearance, many say it is the most beautiful.
This is where Captain Cook first landed, and discovered the lush vegetation, cascading waterfalls, the spectacular "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," and the great hidden valley of Kalalau.
A visit to Kaua’i gives you the chance to experience places found nowhere else on earth,
such as Waimea Canyon, the Wailua River and Fern Grotto, the secluded beaches of Hanalei Bay, and the delightful dining and shopping of the Coconut Plantation.
"The Garden Isle" has been the backdrop for many movies, including Lumahai Beach where Mitzi Gaynor washed that man right out of her hair in “South Pacific”. Hike rugged trails, see a "surfer's paradise," and explore Hanalei's famous Bali Hai Cliffs. The garden island is full of romance and history. There are so
many ways to explore Kauai. Whether it be via car, helicopter, boat, kayak, or hiking, Kauai has so much to see. From beautiful stretches of beaches, to endless waterfalls, Kauai is truly Hawaii's Island of Discovery.

LANA’I - “Pineapple Island”[Back to Top of Page]
(The most secluded island)
Lanai is a small island - 141 square miles. Known as "Pineapple Island," it was operated as a pineapple plantation by Dole Company, a subsidiary of Dole Food Company, Inc. In its heyday, Lana’i was the world's largest source of pineapple, grown on more than 16,000 acres, until the industry began faltering.
The capital, Lanai City, is located in the center of the island. The whole city with its handful of small shops can be explored in 15 minutes. It is surrounded by Norfolk pines and pineapple fields, and you can even take a tour of the pineapple plantation. Lana`i City has a fortuitous location at the 1,700-foot elevation level near the foothills of the island’s main mountain. This keeps the town’s climate delightfully cool and breezy compared to the surrounding dry, dusty and hot plains, where the pineapples used to grow. The town is marked by towering Norfolk Island pine trees planted years ago. 
Lana'i is relatively unpopulated (unless you count the deer and wild muflon). Only 3000 people live here. You can walk along a beach and, like Robinson Crusoe, stumble upon an unexpected trail of footprints but nary a sign of the person who left them behind.
If you want a biking adventure on Lana`i, you’ll find the island well adapted to it. The low traffic roads lend themselves well to casual exploration, whether along the high mountain ridge Munro Trail and through the forest or a downhill trek to Shipwreck Beach and along the northeast shore to historic sites, or even exploring the incredible rock formations of the Garden of the Gods on the island’s west end. Lana`i has some fantastic backcountry roads that are a biker’s delight. These country roads and trails will give you a view of Lana`i that few other visitors see, especially those who stay only at the island’s resorts. There are many backcountry 4x4 vehicle roads, hunters’ trails and foot trails across the island that are suitable for day hiking.
Lana`i is unique among the Hawaiian Islands in many respects. For one thing, it has only about 25 miles of paved road. The rest of the roads are Lana`i’s famous red dirt. Lana’i, the natural beauty of "old Hawaii" has miles of pristine beaches, a place to get away from it all. Lana`i is about as rural and laid-back as Moloka`i, maybe more so. And, like Moloka`i, it doesn’t have even one traffic light as yet. So take your time and enjoy this delightful little corner of Hawai`i, a place with one foot still in the past
