Even Hollywood can attest to Hawaii’s stunning natural scenery with blockbusters including Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean all filmed here. Hawaii boasts two gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage sites, within the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The frequency of eruptions and subsequent lava flows have resulted in an ever-changing landscape that added 543 acres to the main island in just 19 years between 1983 and 2002. There are another seven beautiful national parks to be found in the state, making Hawaii the ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor adventurers alike.
Alternatively, those looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway, the tropical paradise will welcome you with heavenly temperatures and the Aloha spirit.
Spread over 2,400km, a staggering 137 beautiful islands make up the entire Hawaiin archipelago. With so much carefree fun and leisure to be had on every island, it easy for visitors to have a difficult time choosing where to spend their Hawaiin vacation. From diverse landscapes of the abundant rainforest, spectacular volcanoes and coloured beaches of the main island, to the captivating island of O‘ahu, home to historic sites such as Pearl Harbour and the iconic crater (now a cemetery) known as the Punchbowl, each island has its own unique charm and characteristics. Despite this, the one thing every island shares is the warm and welcoming locals, who without fail, uphold the Native Hawaiian value of Aloha ʻĀina - love for the land and its people.
