Hawaii Travel Guide: Explore Cities & Culture

Hawaii is a collection of beautiful paradisiacal islands and each of them offer something unique. Maui for example is a nature-lover’s dream - resplendent with rainforests, superb hiking and some of the the world’s best dives, while Kauai is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors, with some of Hawaii’s best kayaking, eco-adventures and waterfalls and unspoiled nature. Big Island is possibly the most diverse. It’s the home of Hawaii’s monarchy, the world’s tallest volcano and the otherworldly Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, as well as the incredible Thurston Lava Tube. Our favourite bay on the island is Kealakekua Bay, which is both astonishingly beautiful and historically important as the spot where Captain Cook first set foot in the archipelago.
