Floating all by itself in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii maintains its own distinct identity. Low-key and casual, the 50th state is synonymous with tropical paradise, and blessed with golden sandy beaches, emerald valleys, towering cliffs and stunning luxury hotels it’s not difficult to see why. Comprising a group of six main islands, each has something unique to offer. On Oahu, surfers ride the huge waves off the North Shore while the Big Island is home to Kïlauea, the world’s most active volcano. Maui’s Haleakala is the perfect spot from which to experience an unforgettable sunrise and the jungle paradise of Kauai is ripe for exploring with its dramatic and rugged terrain. Molokai and Lanai are the perfect choice for travellers who prefer to go off the beaten track. Perhaps the most special part of the islands however are its people, whose generous spirit of “aloha” ensures visitors return time and time again.
