Hawaii
When visiting the Islands of Hawaii you'll find palm-fringed blue
lagoons, lush rainforests, hidden gardens, cascading waterfalls,
wild rivers running through rugged canyons, and soaring volcanoes.
And oh, those beaches -- gold, red, black, and even green sands
caressed by miles and miles surf. The possibilities for adventure --
and relaxation -- are limitless. The Islands of Hawaii play host
world class sporting and entertainment events each year. Some
of these include the NFL Pro Bowl, the Ironman Triathlon World
Championship and the Honolulu Marathon.

The entire island chain is made of volcanoes; don't miss the
opportunity to see one. On Oahu the entire family can hike to the
top of the ancient volcano, world-famous Diamond Head. At the other
end of the spectrum is fire-breathing Kilauea at Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park, on the Big Island, where you can get an
up-close-and-personal experience with the red-hot lava ooze. On
Maui, Haleakala National Park provides a bird's-eye view into a
long-dormant volcanic crater.
Rushing waterfalls also dot the Hawaiian landscape, thundering
downward into sparkling freshwater pools are some of Hawaii's most
beautiful natural wonders. If you're on the Big Island, stop by
Rainbow Falls in Hilo or the spectacular 442-foot Akaka Falls, just
outside the city. On Maui the Road to Hana offers numerous viewing
opportunities; at the end of the drive, you'll find Oheo Gulch (also
known as the Seven Sacred Pools), with some of the most dramatic and
accessible waterfalls on the islands. Kauai is loaded with
waterfalls, especially along the North Shore and in the Wailua area,
where you'll find 40-foot Opaekaa Falls.

Each of the six main islands, Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Lanai
and Molokai are separate, distinct, and infinitely complex. There's
so much to see and do that many people return to the Aloha State
year after year.
