The Hawaiian Islands have many things on offer, from white sandy beaches, superb diving spots and lush rain forests to active volcanoes
with redhot lava streams .
On Ohao you can stroll along the world famous Waikiki Beach and visit the USS Arizona Memorial that
commemorates the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Maui has something for everybody. Do pay a visit to Lahaina, once
a major whaling center. Nearby is the lush Iao Valley State Park. A must-see is the Hana Highway with just past Hana the
scenic cascading pools of Oheo Gulch.
Divers like the famous Molokini drift dive and everybody likes the colorful Haleakala
Crater at 3000 meters altitude.
If you like active volcanoes head straight to Hawaii, where Kamehameha the Great was born. The
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park features the Kilauea Caldera with the ever changing Halema'uma'u crater.
On the
southern shore lava flows of the Pu'u O'o vent have swallowed large parts of the coastal road. At Hilo you can book a helicopter
and fly right over the red lava and see it flow into the ocean.
