Oahu is the third largest island in Hawaii and is also known as the “gathering place”. There are tons of fun activities waiting for you and your loved ones on this enchanting island. Set sail on a catamaran and check out the scenery along Waikiki Beach or hike to the summit of Diamond Head. Explore historic World War II bunkers and tunnels or tour Pearl Harbor. Go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay or Shark’s Cove, or have a quiet evening in Lanikai Beach.

After a long day of sight-seeing, treat yourself to a nice Hawaiian Luau while watching a Polynesian show. You can also take a sunset cruise and explore Honolulu, the south shore of Oahu. If this sounds appealing, there’s all of the above (and so much more) waiting for you on the island of Oahu.

If it’s serenity you seek, then Kauai is the perfect place for you. This island is ideal for honeymooners yearning for a passionate getaway in a romantic Hawaiian hotel. Start your day with a free Swedish massage and relax on a secluded tropical beach. If you want to get up close and personal with the beauty of the island, visit Waimea Canyon, which was nicknamed by Mark Twain as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” You can then explore the Limahuli Garden and Preserve.

You can also drive along Kauai’s North Shore or take vacation rentals either by boat or kayak on the Wailua River. End your day with an oceanside sunset dinner to make it even more perfect.

3. Maui

Maui has enough attractions to quench the thirst of any adventurer. Visit the highest point on the island, Haleakala, and feast your eyes on the beautiful sunrise along with the magnificent landscape. Travel the road to Hana that has 600 switchbacks and a myriad of waterfalls. However, if you want a more expansive view, a helicopter tour over the island is sure to satisfy.

If you’re looking for an amazing underwater experience, go snorkeling in Molokini and check out the vivid beach life. If you’re opting for an extreme water adventure, go to Makena beach. After a tiring trip, have a classic Maui dinner at the Hali’imaile.

4. Big Island

Hawaii’s Big Island is all about adventure. Before exploring this breathtaking island, have a hearty breakfast and try the famous Loco Moco. Witness fiery volcanoes at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park or take a stroll at Waipio Valley. Hike the highest mountain in the Hawaiian islands, the Mauna Kea, and experience the clearest stargazing in the world.

If you want to learn more about the island’s tradition, visit Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park. You can also learn about Princess Kaiulani and a little bit of the Polynesian cultural heritage.  Sink your toes into the sands of Waikoloa or Hapuna Beach. Enjoy all these things and more if you choose the Big Island for your next stop.
