Hawaii

Hawaii is the world's most geographically isolated landmass, located 2,400 miles from the West Coast of the U.S. and commonly called the "Crossroads of the Pacific." The eight major islands commonly referred to as the Hawaiian Islands are: Nihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and the Big Island of Hawaii, although Kohoolawe and Nihau are usually unable to be visited. Many people are surprised to learn that Hawai'i actually consists of 137 islands stretching across more than 6,400 square miles in the North Pacific Ocean. Hawaii was first inhabited by voyaging Polynesian settlers sometime between the 3rd and 7th centuries as they made their trek eastward from the South Pacific across the vast uncharted seas. However, Hawaii was unknown to Westerners until 1778 when British Captain James Cook discovered the islands. Today, Hawaii is a modern, diverse, multi-cultural society.

It is home to 1.2 million residents and welcomes nearly 10 million visitors every year. Honolulu, the state capitol, is located on the island of Oahu, home to nearly three-quarters of Hawaii's residents and the destination for most visitor arrivals. No other state is so closely associated with its native heritage, ancient traditions, and ethnic diversity. Notably, it is the only state with its own language, music, and dance. Especially popular with residents and visitors alike is the outdoor-inspired, tropical lifestyle and the spectacular year-round weather, averaging a sunny 77 degrees and marked by cooling trade winds. Hawai'i became the 50th state on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is one exhilarating activity after another with the opportunities for fun and excitement able to be discovered island by island.

How about world-class biking, hiking, golf and horseback riding through balmy tropical landscapes? Soaring high above on a zeppelin adventure tour through a forested canopy over rivers and waterfalls, or even higher on helicopter tours over lush valleys, hidden waterfalls, and spectacular shorelines? Or taking to Hawaii 's warm Pacific waters to surf, snorkel, scuba, kayak, or parasail? For a more leisurely enjoyment, one can explore the depths of Hawaii 's marine life through undersea submarine tours, or sun and frolic aboard a cruise excursion. And only in Hawaii can one explore an active volcano and watch the flow of lava up-close (but not too close!) and bear witness to earth's creation of land. For educational enrichment, Hawaii offers more than 80 museums showcasing its culture, history, and the true Hawaiian arts.

Those wanting to be pampered and indulged can enjoy state-of the-art spas, the highly touted Hawaii regional cuisine, and everything-under-the-sun shopping. And rarely does a weekend pass by without a celebration of Hawaii 's multi-cultural heritage, Hawaiian music, or an island-inspired sports event taking place. In addition to activities that visitors can do on their own or book through an agency, there are hundreds of fun and interesting things to see and do on Hawaii 's calendar of events with the list growing all the time. The islands are exotic, magical and beautiful - just like being in love! When asked to "think of Hawaii," couples think of strolling barefoot on the beach during a beautiful sunset, of a dinner cruise and slow dancing under the stars. Couples, especially honeymooners come for the trip of a lifetime. Couples also enjoy coming to the islands for anniversaries, especially those who honeymooned here.
