Here are a few tips for picking what to see and where to go in the Hawaiian Islands.
 

• Visit Kauai for Beauty: Kauai is the oldest island in the chain and holds a certain romantic charm for honeymooners and couples. Kauai is also home to what’s called “the Grand Canyon” of Hawaii, Waimea Canyon. If you’re looking for a good hike, explore this great wonder and photograph its captivating beauty.

 

• Get Your Surf On in Waikiki, Oahu: The island of Oahu is home to the famed North Shore and Waikiki beaches, so you’re going to want to have a swimsuit and sunscreen ready to go. After your surf session, take a break to pay your respects at the Pearl Harbor memorial.

 

• Explore the Rainforests of Hawaii: If you are looking for natural wonders, keep in mind that the biggest island, Hawaii, provides beaches, rainforests, and the unforgettable Kilauea volcano. This volcano is one of the most active in the world. Here, you can take in the sights, sounds, and smells of this natural wonder, and then enjoy a cup of bold Kona coffee.

 

• Whale Watch in Maui: The waters around Maui are famous for whale watching. Lahaina town is a great place to embark on your whale-watching adventures, as well as a perfect place to shop, wine, and dine.
