TRAVELER’S GUIDE
Oahu
Oahu, home to the capital, Honolulu, is the most visited of Hawaii’s islands, and also the most populous. You’ll find the most flights, a wide range of hotels and resorts, and an endless list of sights and attractions
to explore, all working together to make a vacation on this island fun, fabulous and affordable. Waikiki Beach is world-renowned for its famous beach and strolling along its iconic golden sands is a must-do for every visitor. Venture into downtown Honolulu to visit the Bishop Museum, with exhibits honoring Hawaii’s rich culture. Nearby is Pearl Harbor, where a memorial to the fallen stands in the harbor atop the sunken USS Arizona. The Dole Plantation highlights the influence
of the humble pineapple on Hawaii’s history – and delicious Dole Whips.
Maui
Maui is well-known as an ideal destination for romance, and its pampering spa resorts keep it a popular honeymoon destination — but it is truly so much more. From the lush waterfalls of the Iao Valley to the tranquil beaches of Ka‘anapali and Wailea, you’ll find breathtaking natural beauty at every turn that truly inspires. Begin your day before sunrise to make it to the top of Mt. Haleakala to see the morning’s first rays. At the foot of the mountain lie the Seven Sacred Pools at Ohe’o Gulch, where you can take a dip and relax. A journey along the Road to Hana will take you through 52 miles of twists and turns with breathtaking scenery. Kaanapali Beach is famous for its resorts as well as Whaler’s Village, a seaside shopping mall and whaling museum. A little further south is the quaint town of Lahaina, a one-time fishing village that reflects the rich history of this island.
