The Hawaiian archipelago is located roughly 4000 km off the coast of San Francisco. It counts 122 islands and makes up the 50th and most recent state of the United States of America. Only a handful of Hawaii’s islands are actually accessible to tourists…the others are either privately owned or wild and undeveloped. The best-known and most visited islands are Kauai, Oahu, where the capital Honolulu is located, Molokai, Lanai, Big Island and Maui. Just six islands, but they offer visitors a large array of activities and landscapes. Hawaii is also about friendly people, strong cultural identity and lip-smacking food!
The ocean is probably the most visible asset of the archipelago. Enjoy a morning swim, discover sea-kayaking, go on a diving tour diving or indulge in a surf session…many exciting activities await you in the waters of Hawaii. On Maui, expert surfers head for Pe'ahi (aka Jaws), the island's biggest surfing break, to ride massive waves reaching a height of over 20 m. If you feel happier on terra firma, Kauai is the island for you! A remote land of amazing tropical scenery made of lush jungle, steep cliffs, impressive waterfalls and mountainous terrain; it offers a multitude of hiking trails winding through the wild nature.
