Hawaiian Surf

Hawaii, a collection of emerald islands deep in the Pacific Ocean, makes up America’s 50th state. The islands are 2,000 miles away from any continent, so they take a little more work to get to, but, wow, is it worth it. By serendipity or design, Hawaii is a near flawless destination, offering honeymooners, families and thrill-seekers an exotic paradise that is as much a playground as it is a peaceful haven. The cities offer great restaurants, superb shopping and are the economic and cultural powerhouses of the individual islands, but beyond the joyful urban hustle and bustle lie acres of island splendour: verdant mountains, mammoth surf, secluded campgrounds, cavorting whales, cultural gems, active volcanoes, art museums and beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches. It’s an enchanting multicultural melting pot whose roots lie in Polynesia, Asia, North America, Asia, and Europe, and it’s an illustration of nature at its most luscious and divine.

With so much to see and do in this majestic state, it is a great idea to sample at least two of the islands. Oahu has Waikiki beach and Honolulu, while Maui has some unbelievable coastal driving, the Haleakala National Park and whale-watching while Kauai offers fabulous canyon hiking and kayaking in the Wailua River. Whether you choose to twist your way through waterfalls and coastal cliffs on the stunning road to Hana, hike to the rim of the spectacular volcanoes, spend the day sampling fresh mahi-mahi and cool Mai Tai cocktails, grab a surf board  or just lie on the beach listening to the crashing waves contemplating that life doesn’t get any better than this!
