Hawaii, the only U.S. state located outside North America, encompasses 137 islands spread over 1,500 miles. That makes the 50th state the largest island chain in the world! Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii (four of the seven inhabited islands) are the most popular destinations for our families. Each one has a unique flair with wonderful biodiversity as a result of their volcanic origins. Lush forests, incredible beaches of many colors, rugged coastlines, waterfalls, canyons, active volcanoes and more create a scenic beauty like no other place in the world.  The island’s Polynesian culture is also a special highlight and dates back 1,500 years.  Opportunities abound to learn about it through crafts, luaus, museums, local events, food and more. Our families also love the incredible array of outdoor adventures, friendly people, terrific coffee and varied wildlife. Most of our families stay on more than one island in a visit as inter-island air travel is quick and inexpensive.  Some of the more unique activities include swimming with manta rays at night on the Big Island, hiking around the active Kilauea volcano, understanding WWII history at Pearl Harbor, learning about Hawaiian royalty at the Iolani Palace, outrigger canoeing and seeing the petroglyph lava rock carvings. Let us craft a custom itinerary to match our families’ needs, interests and budget.  For more details check out https://www.gohawaii.com/.
