The
State of Hawaii is comprised of eight major islands. Measuring from its
submarine base (3,280 fathoms) in the Hawaiian Trough to the top of the
mountain (13,796 feet), Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world
with a combined height of 33,476 feet.
The 2000 resident population for the State of Hawaii was 1,211,537 persons,
with a de-facto population (including visitors) of 1,334,023. (Between
the 1980 and 2000 Census counts, Hawaii's population grew 25.6 percent).
Hawaii
The spirit and energy of creation surrounds you everywhere on
Hawaii's Big Island. Polynesian legend claims the goddess Pele
gave volcanic birth to the Islands of Aloha. Hawaii's Big Island
is her latest and greatest creation. One island. Still warm from
its fiery birth. Larger twice than its sisters combined and growing
every day as its active volcano, Kilauea, sends new land to a
steamy meeting with the ocean 4,000 feet below. Countless waterfalls
feeding rain forests of botanical wonder add a fantasy flavor
to the landscape. Massive black lava fields hint at the island's
relative youth. And multiples of uncrowded beaches let you catch
your breath amidst unspoiled beauty. It's thrilling.
Kauai
The island of Kauai is a great choice for the visitor who is looking
for a more relaxed, scenic setting. The island is known as the
garden island. There are three distinct vacation areas on Kauai:
Wailua/Kapaa, Poipu and Princeville. The Wailua/Kapaa area has
the most shopping and restaurants. The Poipu area is world famous
for its' beaches and golf courses. The Princeville area is perfect
if you desire an upscale, quiet resort destination with golf and
tennis.
Lanai
The Island of Lanai is known as the Private Island. We represent
both resort hotel accommodations on the Island. The Island is
perfect for guests looking for a unique and exclusive vacation.
There are many different activities to do on Lanai including water
sports, horseback riding, clay shooting, hiking as well as championship
golf courses and excellent pools and beaches! Please note there

Maui
Lasso the Sun, Wrestle a Rainbow, Tie
Down the Tide: Ancient Hawaiian legend has it that a demi-god
named Maui once climbed on top of a volcano and lassoed the sun
with coconut fiber so there would be extra daylight. While you
might not achieve demi-god status this weekend, the adventurer
in you is sure to be inspired by the island where this heroic
tale originated. Start the day off right with a sunrise jaunt
up the storied volcano, Halekala. Hike the Ridge Trail for legendary
island views. Maui's south shore has storybook kayaking conditions
and affords up-close looks at lazing sea turtles and playful
dolphins, and the occasional glimpse of a humpback whale in the
distance. Snorkelers will discover an underwater rainbow in the
multi-colored fish of the clear waters off of Molokini Crater.
Molokai
The Island of Molokai is for the experienced traveller looking
for old Hawaii. There is no public transportation and a rental
car is required. Molokai is known for its' outdoor activities
and uncrowded lifestyle.
Oahu
The Island of Oahu is the main island of the Hawaiian chain and
is home to Honolulu and Waikiki. Some familiar landmarks include
the USS Arizona Memorial and Diamond Head.
