The People. The Place. The Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaiʻi is like nowhere else – and sharing the values of our people and encouraging
visitors to experience our unique culture is what makes this place so special
We invite you to see the Hawaiian islands’ natural beauty in a new way, as the backdrop, while showcasing the beauty of their values as kamaʻāina (local residents). From the melodic sounds of Hawaiian music on Kaua‘i to spreading aloha with fragrant lei on Oʻahu. From the mālama (care) of Native Hawaiian knowledge on the island of Hawai‘i to using food to bring community together on Maui. We encourage you to seek engaging experiences when they come, which helps spread the benefits of tourism to broader communities throughout the islands.
In Hawai‘i, it’s not just the place — it’s the people – that make the Hawaiian Islands so unique, beautiful and worth experiencing

O'ahu
Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oʻahu certainly lives up to its name.
The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaiʻi’s diverse population, a fusion of
East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people.
It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oʻahu
from bustling city life to laidback surf towns — so enjoyable. You'll find plenty of different transportation options for exploring Oʻahu's different regions, the island's many activities,
its eclectic restaurants and accommodations.
Kaua'i
Kauaʻi is Hawaiʻi's fourth largest island and is sometimes called the "Garden Island," which is an entirely
accurate description. The oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain is draped in emerald valleys, sharp mountain spires and jagged cliffs aged by time and the elements. Centuries of growth have formed
tropical rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls! Some parts of Kauaʻi are only accessible by sea
or air, revealing views beyond your imagination. More than just dramatic beauty, the island is home to a
variety of outdoor activities. You can kayak the Wailua River, snorkel on Poʻipū Beach, hike the trails of Kōkeʻe State Park, or go ziplining above Kauaʻi's lush valleys. But, it is the island's laid-back atmosphere
and rich culture found in its small towns that make it truly timeless.

Hawaii- the Big Island
The island of Hawaiʻi is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain.
Nearly twice as big as all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined (hence, its nickname, “Big Island”)
her sheer size is awe-inspiring. You can travel through all but four of the world's different climate
zones here, ranging from Wet Tropical to Polar Tundra, a result of the shielding effect and elevations
of the massive volcanoes Maunakea and Maunaloa. From the many geological features at Hawaiʻi
Volcanoes National Park to the snow-capped heights of Maunakea; from the lush valleys of the Hilo and Hāmākua Coasts to the jet-black sands of Punaluʻu Beach, the island of Hawaiʻi is an unrivaled expression of the power of nature. However you decide to experience the island,
it is sure to leave you humbled

Lana'i- Part of Maui County
Untouched Lāna‘i has few paved roads, no crowds, and lots of space to unplug and let the
island’s slower pace of life soothe your soul. Explore the island’s historic town, Lāna‘i City,
that was founded in the early 1900s as a plantation town at the center of the island’s
booming pineapple industry. During that era, Lānaʻi was responsible for 75 percent of the
world’s pineapple production, and the fruit is still celebrated in the city’s annual Pineapple Festival. Located in Lānaʻi’s central highlands and at an elevation of 1,700 feet, Lānaʻi City
is noticeably cooler than coastal areas of the island.
