Travel to Hawaii - Aloha!

A trip to Hawaii is a journey to a tropical and enchanting place with fantastic beaches, impressive volcanoes, a profusion of flowers and colours, and wonderful people. Hawaii is the epitome of a tropical paradise, has a lot of endemic flora and fauna, meaning that many of the plants and animals are not found anywhere else. You can still feel the relaxed Polynesian lifestyle in some areas, but the Hawaiian islands are also very Americanized. That means English speaking people, high service levels, but also often high prices – But we understand why! Hawaii is one of a kind!

Honolulu and Waikiki: First stop on a trip to Hawaii

When traveling to Hawaii, you will land in Honolulu. The state capital, for better or worse, gives a festive impression of Hawaii. It was here that former President Barack Obama was born, and it is the home of Waikiki Beach, which you must visit when you are in Honolulu. You will find plenty of waves and surfers there, as you will almost everywhere in Hawaii. The waves at Waikiki are generally long and "rolling", which makes them ideal for beginners learning how to surf. After a long lesson or a beach workout, when it is time to fill your stomach, our highest recommendation is a visit to the burger bar "Cheeseburger in Paradise", located at 2500 Kalakaua Avenue right across from the beach. With a cold beer overlooking the sunset, Hawaii truly feels like paradise.

Trekking Diamond Head

From Waikiki Beach, you also have dazzling views of Diamond Head, a stunning volcano located right on the turquoise sea. While Diamond Head is a breath-taking sight from afar, you should also take the trip to the top. The climb is not very demanding, but there are many steps and jagged rocks. Once you reach the top, you will have a different vantage point, this time overlooking Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean.

Oahu's other attractions: Pearl Harbor & the Valley of the Temples

Oahu is much more than just beautiful beaches and waves. It is also the site of the historic Pearl Harbor, located just west of Honolulu. On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was the site of a major attack on the United States by the Japanese army. It was this event that brought the United States into the Second World War and it remains to be the worst attack that has ever taken place on U.S. soil. You should also visit the Valley of the Temples, a memorial park in the eastern part of Oahu. This site features beautiful Buddhist temples with lush, tropical surroundings and is representative of Hawaii's Polynesian and Japanese cultures. Both sites are an absolute must.

The three others: Hawaii, Maui and Kauai

On the Big Island, you can get an idea of ​​the extensive volcanic activity that exists there. There are large, active volcanoes like Mauna Kea Kilauea (the highest volcano on earth) and Mauna Loa, black lava beaches, and lava rivers that flow into the sea. You can also find volcanoes in Maui, a smaller and less populated island. Haleakala National Park is especially exciting with its huge crater and spectacular sunrise view. Finally, there is the fourth largest island, Kauai. On this island, the main attraction is the stunning Waimea Canyon and Mount Waialeale. Presumably, this tropical mountain and its flowing waters make it one of the wettest places on earth!

The Hawaiian islands

The state of Hawaii is a chain of volcanic islands in the Central Pacific Ocean. The main islands of this tropical paradise are: Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and the Big Island (Hawaii). These islands were created millions of years ago by underwater volcanic eruptions.
