Looking Into Hawaii Travel Packages
April 3, 2010
There is so much to explore and experience with each of the major Hawaiian Islands that it is recommended to visit one island at a time. That is because it’s impossible to see and do everything on all the islands on one visit. Repeat visits can be spent taking in the sites and adventures of the other islands.
Each of the Hawaiian islands has its own character, and if you don’t then it’s not easy to select one for your vacation. Here are a few details about the more popular of the islands, and hopefully this will enable you to choose the one that seems best for you so that you can choose one of the available Hawaii travel packages to suit your personal preferences.
Of course you have to start with the biggest island of them all, called ‘Hawaii’ and also known as the ‘Big Island’. The Big Island of Hawaii is one of the most geologically diverse islands to be found anywhere. In the winter, there is snow-capped Mauna Kea that rises above tropical rainforests and Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano. The Big Island’s Kona coast is world-renown for deep-sea fishing, the Kohala coast for sun, beaches and first-class resorts.
Next is Maui, which is nicknamed the ‘Valley Isle’. Here you can look at the Haleakala Crater, which is quite fascinating and makes for some fabulous pictures. The Lao valley is full of wonderful trees, and is just a very beautiful place to experience.
On Lanai, which has earned the nickname of ‘Pineapple Isle’, you need to check out the Garden of the Gods. Lanai is a smaller stop for tourists with only two resorts, but there is fine golf there and much more site seeing.
Another island that hasn’t yet been overdeveloped is Molokai, the ‘Friendly Isle’. It sure lives up to its name because this is one of the friendliest islands on the whole archipelago. It is relatively unspoiled and if you want a lovely quiet vacation where you can swim and dive in crystal clear waters, then you must add this to your Hawaiian travel package.
Oahu has many beaches on the island and the landmark Diamond Head is located here in addition to Waikiki and Pearl Harbor. Oahu is home to great shopping and a slew of ethnic restaurants from Hawaiian to Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean in addition to Western cuisine.
Lastly, the island of Kauai. This is known as the “Garden Island” because it is such a beautiful island – people who vacation here never want to leave. Mark Twain came here and named Waimea Canyon the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific’. The Napali Coast boasts 1,000 foot cliffs dropping straight down to the ocean, and beaches offering the best sun and surf you will find anywhere. Superlatives are unnecessary because every word you could use would be true about this magnificent island. Were you to include only one in your Hawaiian vacation package, it must be this – but then we could say that about any of these beautiful Hawaiian islands.
