A visit to Kauai is like a return to the Hawaii of yesterday...Kauai has a rural, country feel and a laid-back lifestyle all its own. Ask the friendly people of Kauai. They will tell you this is how it should be, and this is how it will remain. After all, Kauai is Hawaii's oldest island, geologically speaking, and as the first-born, it has the legacy of paradise to uphold.

Untouched by development, Kauai is nicknamed The Garden Isle.  A voyage around Kauai is a sensory feast of green tropical forests, cascading waterfalls, golden sand beaches and the time of your life. Come and make some memories on beautiful Kauai. E komo mai. Welcome. You're coming to Kauai, Hawaii's Island of Discovery.

Moloka'i is Hawaii's "Most Natural Island." A haven for outdoor explorers, eco-seekers, and ocean adventurers, Moloka'i has little traffic and no traffic lights. On this special island folks go along at a very different pace. Many work the land, others harvest the bounty of the sea. Visitors can choose to hike through lush, magnificent valleys, ride horseback along gorgeous coastlines, mountain bike over soaring sea cliffs or kayak miles of pristine barrier reefs.

Lana'i is a place of pristine, primal beauty, Hawaii's "Most Exclusive Island" where you can walk a mile on a beach without seeing another person. The former site of one of Hawaii's major pineapple plantations, Lana'i has been transformed into a destination known, and coveted, by discerning travelers from all points of the compass. Visitors can choose from two world-class resort hotels or unique "local style" accommodations. Golfers will revel in the challenges offered by two distinctly different championship courses. Visit Lana'i and you will find unexpected treasures joyfully shared by a people who are genuine and kind.

Kayak miles of pristine barrier reefs. Hike through lush, magnificent Halawa Valley. Ride horseback along gorgeous coastlines, across wild rangelands, and mountain bike over soaring sea cliffs. Experience the majesty of historic Kalaupapa. Comb golden beaches where the only footprints are your own. And find something you may have lost somewhere deep inside.

More than you imagined, more than you knew, Oahu is a rich and rewarding destination. Beyond the turquoise waters, the pristine beaches, and the razor-edged mountains, there's a legacy of royalty, a delicious blend of Pacific influences and the luxurious pace of island relaxation.

Oahu 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.

Our climate is extraordinarily consistent with average summer high temperatures at 87 degrees and average winter high temperatures at 80 degrees. The ocean hovers between 72 and 76 degrees all year long

Oahu's long-held position as the most popular of all the Hawaiian islands is due in good measure to the incredible variety - and quality - of attractions on this island. There is something exciting fascinating, and fun for every age, every interest, and every budget.

There are historic monuments like Punchbowl National Cemetery and Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor which you can visit on official Navy tours. And there are historic Hawaiian sites like 'Iolani palace, America's only Royal Palace where Kings and Queens of old Hawaii once ruled. Oahu also has Hawaii's largest collection of museums where fascinating exhibits and demonstrations let you learn about everything from how ancient Polynesians navigated the Pacific in outrigger canoes to how Nantucket whalers fashioned harpoons.

The city of Honolulu is a diverse and ongoing attraction itself with distinct and intriguing districts like the thriving downtown / Chinatown business district set alongside busy Honolulu Harbor.  Oahu also boasts dozens of private or city-owned attractions that are simply pure fun vacation experiences. Luaus, Polynesian shows, dancing dolphins, sunset cruises, submarine rides, a world class zoo and aquarium, garden tours, "ghost walks"... the list goes on and on. This is the Hawaiian island that can fill all the days and nights of your vacation with fun and fascinating new experiences.
