The US state of Hawaii lies 1,470 miles (2,367 km) north of the equator and 2,500miles (4,025 km) Southwest of North America. The six islands of Hawaii are Oahu, Maui, Kauai, The Big Island (Hawaii), Molokai and Lanai, each offering something for everyone - history, romance, natural beauty, a mix of cultures and traditions, tastes and sounds that can’t be found anywhere else.
The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most beautiful places on earth. The
weather is friendly. The temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees all year long.
It's a little warmer in summer, and a little cooler in winter, but every day is
a beach day for somebody.
The environment is friendly. The physical beauty of Hawaii is almost
unparalleled. Majestic mountains were created millions of years ago by volcanic
activity that thrust these islands three miles from the ocean floor. Wave action
across endless eons of time created coral reefs, and then battered and broke
them to create miles of white sand beach. Our position at the center of the
Pacific ensured that almost every plant and animal who would find a home here
would come as an invited guest.
There are no strangers in Paradise. Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawaii
is the genuine warmth of our people. We call it the spirit of Aloha. It has
allowed a melting pot of cultures from all over the world to find common ground,
and a new home, in this most gentle of places.
