A tropical beach paradise with some of the world’s best beaches - that is Hawaii for vacationers. But there is more in Hawaii: from coral reefs to canyons, to lush valleys and snow-capped mountains to desert-like terrain, to rain forests to volcanoes and waterfalls! Yes, visiting Hawaii is like visiting a mini Planet Earth, a diverse ecosystem that can offer something to every traveler of every hue. What you can do and enjoy in Hawaii vary from island to island, each different from the others and with its own unique charm. Oahu, for example, offers steamy forests and sacred sites while the Hana Cultural Center in Maui allows a glimpse of the ancient Polynesian life. Waikiki here is also one of the best beaches in Hawaii. Big Island is home to the Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park as well as the Hilton Waikoloa Village festival. It is also the home of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, with its two active volcanoes, Mauna and Kilauea. In Kauai, vacationers can visit the Fern Grotto, a fern-fringed cave only accessible via the Wailua River, and take in the panoramic tropical views of the Na Pali Coast.
