Exploring Hawaiian Islands

If you wish to have a perfect trip to Hawaii, then spending some time to learn a bit about the islands and will help you to get the most out of your vacation.

Hawaii offers an exotic experience to its inhabitants as well as visitors with its beauty, history and culture. It is a chain of beautiful islands. Every island of Hawaii was formed as a result of volcanic eruptions from the sea floor. These enchanting tropical Islands attract the tourists with lush beaches and the warm breezes. Apart from the main islands named The Big Island, Lanai, Kauai, Maui, Nihau, Molokai and Oahu there are hundreds of smaller islands spread over 1500 miles.

The history of Hawaii dates back to as early as the 4th Century. However, the first European contact with Hawaii was made in 1778, when Captain James Cook arrived here. Through his two visits to Hawaii, Cook wrote books about his journeys. These books encouraged people to explore the beauty of Hawaii and today this island has become one of the most favorite tourist destinations.

Your search for a place that has the most reasonable and consistent weather will end at Hawaii. The weather here is warm, but comfortable. The temperatures range from 75 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit from April to November and 68 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit during December to March.

English is the most widely spoken language. However, Hawaiian is also an official language of the state. If you are a US citizen, you won't need passport to enter into Hawaii. The currency is the US Dollar and you can easily find ATMs throughout the islands and major credit cards are also accepted widely.

Hawaii offers something for everyone. You can visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to know about the volcanic history of Hawaii. You can also visit memorials and museums at the famous Pearl Harbor. If you love sea animals, you can go to the famous Sea Life Park on Oahu. You also have a choice to enjoy the tropical reef aquarium at the Ocean Center on Maui or Molokai's ancient Hawaiian fish ponds. The beautiful beaches lining the coasts of Hawaii are some of the most exquisite destinations in the world. Stretched almost 3 miles long, the Kaanapali beach which is located in Maui is considered to be the most beautiful beach by a number of travelers.

Beyond the ecstasy of the beaches, a traditional Hawaiian Luau will teach you to dance on the rhythm of the traditional Hawaiian music.

Plan well and enjoy your trip!
