No matter which island you choose to land on, you’ll breathe in the scent of coconut and coffee on arrival in Hawaii.
The spirit of Aloha, quite literally, means to presently breathe; an apt greeting for one of the most mindful and magical places on Earth.
Whether you’re enjoying live music and hula dance performances, slurping on a snow cone (aka shave ice) on the majestic beaches of Waikiki, or lying poolside with a pina colada in hand, you’ll feel the Aloha spirit everywhere you go. The islands are loaded with delicious restaurants, fun water sport activities, pineapple plantations, lush hiking adventures, and volcanoes to explore.
Our secret hot tip: Hire a convertible and drive to the northern edge of Oahu where you’ll reach a hidden cove called Laniakea Beach. Here, you’ll swim with enormous wild turtles, a day that will be etched in your memory for life. Explore the shanty town of Hale’iwa while you’re there and don’t miss the Camaron Shrimp Truck along the way – they have every kind of shrimp (except Bubba Gump shrimp).
