World Class Oahu
Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, is the state capital and a sparkling gem of shiny high-rises gleaming from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Shop ‘til you drop at Ala Moana Center, the largest outdoor mall in the world. Tour Pearl Harbor and its somber memorial to World War II for a better understanding of American history, and don’t miss famous Waikiki Beach, a truly international destination. On the island’s the North Shore, you’ll find world-class surfing at Banzai Pipeline. Then, immerse yourself in all things Hawaiian by visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center—to enjoy a luau and a hula lesson.
Valley Isle of Maui
Named the “Valley Isle” because it sits between two volcanoes, Maui is peppered with quaint villages, exceptional beaches, and an incredible sunrise or sunset view from atop the dormant volcano Haleakala. Take a thrill ride along the twisty Road to Hana, past waterfalls, fresh fruit stands, a Hawaiian temple and magnificent black-sand beach. In winter, Humpback whale watching is an annual pastime here.
The Big Island
Nature’s awesomeness is on full display on the “Big Island,” at Volcanoes National Park. Take the 11-mile Crater Rim Drive along the summit of Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, or take a bit more adventurous trek to the top of Mona Loa, the biggest and most active of them all. Despite the continuous, hot lava flowing from some of its mountaintops, but are far away from the danger—in towns like hip, laid-back Hilo, happening Kona and Kohala, where some of the world’s top-ranked beaches await your towel and flip-flops.
