The US state of Hawaii lies 1,470 miles (2,367 km) north of the equator and 2,500miles (4,025 km) Southwest of North America. The six islands of Hawaii are Oahu, Maui, Kauai, The Big Island (Hawaii), Molokai and Lanai, each offering something for everyone - history, romance, natural beauty, a mix of cultures and traditions, tastes and sounds that can’t be found anywhere else.

Mark Twain called Hawaii ‘the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean.’ And indeed nature lovers are in for a treat, with Hawaii boasting spectacular beaches, wondrous scenery and a tropical climate making this a dream-come-true destination.
