Plan a Vacation in Hawaii
Whether you are planning to visit the Big Island, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lahai or Maui your vacation in Hawaii will be filled with enjoyment. There are sites to see on each of the islands that make up the state of Hawaii.
Kauai offers you the opportunity to see “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific” with Waimea Canyon and its 3,000 ft. deep canyon on the west side of the island. The crested buttes, ragged crags, and the deep valley gorges are a sight you will cherish for years to come.
Visit the North Shore of Kauai and see the beautiful sights from the top of the towering cliffs with their greenery and flowing waterfalls tumbling to the valleys below. Stand on the cliffs and get a view of the Pacific Ocean and the endless waves rolling in to the shore.
Visit Oahu, the once home of King Kamehaeha. Here you can go to Waikiki Beach and enjoy the surf. There are opportunities for lessons or just the big waves for the experienced surfer to be challenged by at the beach.
If you are interested in aquariums you will definitely want to visit the Waikiki Aquarium in Oahu. It is located on the shoreline of Waikiki Beach right next to a living reef and across from Kapiolani Park. This aquarium is the 3rd oldest in the United States with more than 500 marine species and 3,000 marine specimens for you to learn about and enjoy.
Of course you will visit Honolulu while you are on Oahu. This beautiful capital city is the epicenter of Hawaii with everything from the historic buildings to treasured monuments along with the opportunity to do some shopping and see the wide array of arts and culture.
Travel back in time with a visit to Iolani Palace where lavish parties and diplomatic affairs of the kingdom where held by King Kalakaua and his successor, Queen Liliuokalani. See the bedroom where the Queen was held captive after the overthrow of the monarchy.
Sea Life Park will offer you an alternative to Waikiki Beach. Here you will be able to see dolphins and penguins. You can also capture the views of the Pacific Ocean with its breathtaking beauty from the Koolau mountains.
You have probably read about it in the history books, or you remember it from when it actually happened but here in Central Oahu you can visit the USS Arizona and see the memorials that are a tribute to the brave men and women that were killed in the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese at the start of the US involvement in WWII. If you want to relax after that experience you may want to sample the fresh pineapple that is grown in the lush valley in the area.
When you are taking the time to visit Molokai on your Hawaii vacation you will be in the world where there is nothing taller than a coconut tree. The tallest point on the island is the church steeple.
Now you are off to Lanai and the area well known for the pineapple plantations. You can find fabulous snorkeling spots, enjoy the swimming or just sit on the beach and see ifyou spot a whale or a dolphin. The relaxed environment of the island will make you glad you took a break to visit here.
Maui has not only beaches but mountain crests to see too. There is Haleakala where you can stand and almost see the “end of the earth.” Take a drive on the crooked road to Hana and visit the Seven Sacred Pools.
Famous for the active Kilauea volcano, this island will afford you the opportunity to experience everything from snow capped mountains to black sand beaches. It has the largest restored ancient Hawaiian religious temple as well as entertainment for everyone to enjoy.
