Situated in the Pacific, the islands of Hawaii make up a beautiful state that combines spectacular scenery with a vibrant culture and a fascinating reflection of the past. Whilst the islands used to be important traders in various goods and a hub for whaling, the changing economy and banning of the latter trade has resulted in a changed focus in the community. Nowadays a major base for the US army, Hawaii`s economy is based mostly on this and its tourist industry. Consequently the area and the local amenities are geared toward tourism and there is a great deal on offer for tourists. The islands themselves provide a choice of where to stay from the main island of Hawaii, home to one of the world`s most active volcanoes, to Lanai, a small private island that used to be entirely filled with pineapple plantations and has now been developed to contain several exclusive resorts.

Hawaii, 50th state of the USA, is a group of volcanic islands in the Pacific ocean and with over 750 miles of coastline and some truly spectacular surf it is unsurprisingly a popular dream holiday destination. Famous for Hula dances, Grass skirts and Pearl Harbour the Hawaiian Islands have much more to offer than that.
Although Hawaii`s islands are all famed for their breath-taking sea views, the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Hawaii`s Big Island, Maui, Lanai and Molokai each offer something different and unique.
Kauai for example is the the oldest island, boasting huge cliffs and the Wailua, the islands only navigable river.
