Waikiki Beach

Today, Waikiki is a vibrant center of activity, a destination that showcases the spirit of Aloha to the world.

Maui Island

The second largest of the Hawaiian islands and claimed by many to be the most beautiful, Maui is known to locals as “No ka oi” – the best.

Kauai Island

Spectacular natural attractions and nature in abundance are the hallmarks of Kaua‘i. So much so that its lush, tropical vegetation has earned it the nickname of the Garden Isle.

Oahu Island

Known the world over for Hawaii’s largest city, Honolulu, and one of the world’s most famous beaches, the two-mile Waikiki Beach, O‘ahu is the gateway for most visitors to the Islands. And beyond the beachfront icons lies a tropical wonderland.

Molokai Island

No stoplights. A scattering of visitors. The chance to truly live as the locals do. That’s Molokai today.

Makena Beach (Big Beach), Maui

Maui's south shore is home to many extraordinary beaches and Makena Beach, also known as Oneloa Beach and "Big Beach," is undoubtedly one of the island's best.

Molokini, Maui

This small, crescent moon-shaped island lies just three miles off of Maui's southwestern coast. Just over 18 acres and rising 160 feet above reef-filled waters, Molokini offers visitors snorkeling and diving amongst a kaleidoscope of coral. Because of its natural abundance, Molokini was named a State Marine Life and Bird Conservation District. Tours are available from nearby Maalaea Harbor, Kihei, and Lahaina. Early morning is the best time of day to explore this pristine reserve. If you're an underwater enthusiast, a visit to Molokini is a Maui must. ©2009 HAWAII VISITORS AND CONVENTION BUREAU

Honolua Bay

Honolua Bay on Maui's north shore is a favorite spot for experienced surfers.

Hana, Maui

On Maui's rugged eastern coastline, the peaceful town of Hana welcomes its many visitors... but getting there requires some effort.

Kailua Beach

A nice beach, less crowded than the most famous Waikiki, only 30 minutes from Honolulu.

Kapalua Beach

One of the best beaches in Hawaii, once even voted the best beach in the United States.

Hanauma Bay

A protected marine area, with a large sandy beach and a rich underwater life.
