Twain described Hawaii as "the loveliest fleet of islands that
lies anchored in any ocean." Hawaii is the most remote island
group in the world, at 2,397 miles from the nearest continent and
2,400 miles from the Marquesas Islands. There are 8 major islands,
the Big Island, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Ni'ihau and
over 120 other small islands and atolls that stretch for 1,523 miles
across the central Pacific Ocean. The islands have developed into
a unique environment of tropical enticements and melting pot of cultures.
Hawaii is a geological wonder, encompassing within its shores a wide
variety of climates and ecosystems. All major US airlines and many
international carriers fly direct to Honolulu International Airport,
with several also offering direct services to the Big Island, Kauai
and Maui. Once you're here, traveling between the islands is incredibly
easy with every island only a short flight away. If you are looking
for a more leisurely inter-island experience, there are numerous cruise
ships circulate between the islands, offering a truly memorable way
to experience the mystery of the Hawaiian Islands. |
