INTRODUCTION TO HAWAII

There’s no place as synonymous with paradise as Hawaii. This Pacific Ocean archipelago is more than just a goldmine of staggering natural beauty; it’s a destination that inspires pure, unfiltered wanderlust. From crystalline waters to powdery white sands and technicolor coral reefs, a trip to Hawaii will have you feeling as if the saturation has been turned all the way up…

Tropical getaways your calling? Hawaii will be your haven for sure, but you’ll soon find out these islands, scattered in the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean, have far more soul than your average beach holiday. Magnificent scenery and Hawaii go hand-in-hand, but what makes this place extra special is the warm welcoming Aloha spirit. The locals here are some of the most hospitable people on the planet, with the center of Hawaiian culture revolving around giving and kindness. The easy breezy, laid back and chill mentality was basically invented by the Hawaiians, and nothing can match the relaxed vibes you’re guaranteed to feel here.

Breathtaking views can be found around every corner of the islands, and you don’t have to go far for an insta-worthy snap. Regardless of what island on your Hawaii tour you explore, beautiful beaches, friendly faces and “ono grinds” (good eats) are at the heart of this stunning Archipelago.

So let’s break it down - six islands you say? But not just any old islands, these are six of the most diverse, heavenly, sun drenched, naturally gorgeous, sea and landscapes you’ll ever experience, guaranteed to thrill any Hawaii tour package you choose. Fancy yourself an adrenaline junky? Hit the waves on Waikiki, where the surf is always up. Nature buff? Hike your boots up to the summit of the Earth’s most active volcano, Kilauea, just casually. A mermaid in a previous life? Swim and snorkel with Hawaii’s oceanic locals called honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), then relax on pristine beaches on the island of Lana’i. Then to top it off, toast to your good fortune and amazing new memories, with a beer at sunset…

To really feel at one with your surroundings, it’s all about immersing yourself in the beckoning, rich, Hawaiian culture. Every aspect of life on these astonishingly beautiful islands is done with passion and love, from the local cuisine to the traditional forms of expression like dance and art. To understand this paradise is to welcome the Aloha spirit into your life, and leave with a little piece of it embedded in your heart.
