Hawaii. It is a stretch of warm soft sand caressed by a restless ocean. It is a morning mist embracing a forest of towering bamboo. It is a lively marketplace of exotic scents and languages from a dozen nations. It is exquisite cuisines from some of the world's most celebrated chefs. It is an ancient culture that thrives in modern times. It is Paradise!
Oahu is a mecca for world-class shopping where designer showrooms line Waikiki's famous Kalakaua Avenue. But less than an hour's drive takes you to rural neighborhoods where mango, lychee, and papaya are the pride of backyard gardens. Maui's magnificence reaches from the depths of the sea where humpback whales stage their awesome dance each winter, to the summit of Haleakala where you trek in 40-degree chill to be anointed by the first rays of sunrise. Kauai's mesmerizing beauty is its soul: cloud-shrouded Waialeale, prehistoric valleys of Kalalau, and secret beaches. Timeless legends tell of ancient peoples and great spirits who lived among this grandeur - and perhaps still do. On the Big Island, fire spews from an active volcano, while snow settles on a long dormant one. Acres of lush rainforest grow wild orchids and scarlet anthurium hearts. And paniolo cowboys still ride the range at Parker Ranch.
Hawaii is all this and much, much more. Discover the Hawaii you're looking for.
