Hawaii Vacation is a Vacation to Remember

By James Mcdonald

The Hawaiian Islands attract thousands of tourists annually due to their bays, sandy beaches, palm trees, and blazing sunshine all year round. The islands are known to be in length of 1,523 miles and stretching from the southeast to northeast. Did you know that there are 132 islands, but there are only six that are mostly inhabited. Those six are O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i, Hawaii, Moloka'i and Lana'i.

There are 1.2 million people living in the Hawaiian Islands. The official languages are Hawaiian and English. The islands are home to more than 10,000 plants and animals found nowhere else on earth such as palms, cactus, coconut palms, kanani, ohia, kukui, and hau trees, many tropical flowers, various coloured fruits, coffee and macadamia nuts.

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii. It is probably the most visited of all islands. It is known for having a relaxed tropical atmosphere that tourists adore. This 595 square island has large areas of sugar cane fields, amazing mountain ranges, rain forests, hidden beaches and spectacular surfing. Many tourists are shocked to find out that the sea temperatures stay at a constant range of anywhere from eighty to eighty two degrees year round.

Maui is a stunning islands in the Pacific that was miraculously formed by two volcanoes. This island has romantic sandy coves for couples to spend time on. Secluded beaches, rain forests and tropical gardens also provide tourists with a chance to get away from the busy world. The Garden Isle or Kaua'i is made up of colors, rainbows, misty valleys, shrouded mountains, tropical rain forests, wild orchids, palms, grasslands, coral reefs and beaches. Did you know that Kaua'i has forty three white sandy beaches? Kaua'i also have over ninety percent rare plants that are unique to Hawaii.

Hawaii is the youngest of the islands and is an island of fire and snow with 11 distinct climate zones. It has an average annual rainfall of only 11 inches.

Moloka'i is a stunning island that is only 38 miles long and 10 miles wide. It is fifth largest and most rural of all Hawaiian Islands. This is not an island for those that have a lust for nightlife. Moloka'i only has a few roads, no traffic lights, and no nightclubs! The island is surrounded with dense wilderness and wooded mountains.

Lanai is located near the island of Maui and was once famous for pineapples. It can be reached by air or boat and has just 2000 residents. The bay with its dolphins is rated one of the top scuba diving destinations. - 31999
