I will try to highlight unknown facts of the Hawaii islands. This will help you choose the best vacation packages to Hawaii. In addition, it will identify Hawaii as the best tropical place to vacation.
Oahu as a tropical place to vacation
Oahu is the capital of the Hawaii islands. It is more developed in terms of commercial activities. In addition, the island has a rich history. The pearl harbor memorial is a big attraction. You can include the Pearl harbor memorial as an excursion when purchasing vacation packages to Hawaii. As a result, a visit to the Pearl harbor memorial should be a day’s activity. The volume of information can be an educational experience.
Another big attraction in Oahu is the Polynesian Cultural Center. It is the ideal tropical place to vacation when you visit Oahu. The Polynesian Cultural Center has several villages. Each village represent a different culture in the Pacific region. For instance, on display will be cultures of New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, tonga, Hawaii, Fiji and the Islands of Aotearoa. There are several things to see and do at the different villages. You can be highly active at the center. Things to do include tree climbing, canoe racing, Hawaiian quilt making, cooking demos and spear throwing. In the evening you can partake in a big dinner feast. The Luau is one of the highlights of any vacation packages to Hawaii. You can be part of a pig roasting event. The evening closes with a display of the different villages culture. The show takes place in a huge amphitheater.
Oahu is also known for food, beautiful sandy beaches, and rich culture. It is filled with farmer markets, food trucks, and fusion menus. It is indeed a foodies’ paradise. Also, miles of forest trails and beaches will give you the tropical feeling. The most outstanding beach in Oahu is the Waikiki beach. Several resorts are in that area. As a result, it is a popular tourist attraction.
Hawaii Island or Big Island
The group of islands is called Hawaii. Whereas, the Big Island is also known as Hawaii. This can be confusing to people. You must distinguish between the chain of islands and the individual island called Hawaii. I will refer to that island as the Big Island to avoid confusion. The Big Island became popular because of the Kilauea volcano. It is one of several volcanoes on the island. The last time the volcano erupted was 1983 to 2018.
The big island is popular with hikers. Its rich wildlife also makes vacation packages to Hawaii a worthwhile trip. These characteristics make it a top tropical place to vacation. You will find sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and brightly colored fishes. If you are visiting in winter, you might encounter humpback whales.
The Big island is well known for water activities. As a result, snorkeling and scuba diving is popular on that island. My first snorkeling experience was done on the Big Island.
Maui
Maui is one of the most beautiful vacation destinations in the world. It is quiet and laid back. It is unlike Oahu that is bustling with traffic. There is something for everyone in Maui. Maui is truly a beautiful tropical place to vacation. You will find kiteboarding, surfing, snorkeling, and other water sports. There are also hiking trails that pass through lofty ridge tops and bamboo forest. Maui is different from the other islands.
Maui is a great tropical place to vacation for spa and for wellness retreat. This is unknown and gets little publicity. The Lumeria Maui is a luxury educational retreat center. It is located on the North shore. The property is on six luscious tropical acres near the town of Pa’ia. It is also near the famous ho’okipa beach. The property offers an educational experience for learning and exploring. The Maui Lumeria support creative thinkers. It teaches and inspires health enhancing models to benefit our planet. You can do yoga meditation, spa and wellness or hold a retreat at the property. Holiday packages to Hawaii are available.
Kauai
The island is known as the Garden of the Gods. The name could not be more suitable. As it is known for its greenery and luscious forest. As a matter of fact, it is also the greenest of the islands. It is also known for the filming of several famous movies like Jurassic Park.
The island of Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaii islands. The island is also popular for the Pacific Grand Canyon. An unknown fact of Kauai is the production of coffee. The island has the largest coffee orchard in Hawaii and the US. There is about 3,100 acres of land under coffee farming. In addition, there are several small farmers cultivating coffee. The Hawaii islands coffee is delicate with a well-balanced taste.
Lanai
If you are seeking solitude, you will find it here. Lanai is secluded from the world. It is almost an isolated subtropical place. I would not recommend Lanai as a tropical place to vacation. Unless, you are trying to get off the grid. It is a nice place to vacation if you desire peace and quiet. As a result, very few persons purchase vacation packages to Hawaii for that destination. There are also things to appreciate in Lanai. It has a beautiful beach that is a good spot for snorkeling.
Molokai
A large portion of the Molokai population has indigenous heritage. Therefore, the people are considered true Hawaiian. Listen to the rich history of this island while visiting it. Molokai is the fifth largest island among the Hawaii islands. The highest sea cliffs in the world is found on the island.
The northern part of the island contains the former leper colony. That area is almost inaccessible. There are towering cliffs and practically no access through the cliffs. The site can be viewed from the clifftop. The main access is by sea.
