Hawaii is a kingdom of exotics: palms, unusual flowers and indescribable feeling of relaxation and bliss. Exotic Hawaii perhaps is the most pleasant place in the world for holidays. Firstly, the U.S. - that is a high level of hotel service and, secondly, it is quite low prices (to have a rest here is cheaper than, for instance on Tahiti, which is located in the same climatic region). The third reason is that it’s easy to get here: there is a huge choice of flights of different airlines. And, perhaps, one of the main advantages of the Hawaiian islands - their diversity. The islands are differ in terrain, vegetation, population, urbanization. As a result, ways of recreation on the islands are very different.

Nature of the islands is fantastic: the palm trees and tropical flowers, wide beaches and excellent weather. One of the main advantages of Hawaii is their diversity. All the islands are situated on different terrain and vegetation, each has its own characteristics. For example, on the island of Oahu there is a very developed tourist infrastructure, here you can hardly find "wild" places. Island of Hawaii or Big Island (Big Island) can be interesting of its National Park of volcanoes. And the Maui Island, due to strong winds, attracts fans of windsurfing.

Hawaii is the largest island, but it is very sparsely populated part of the archipelago. Major cities that tourists visit are Hilo and Kailua-Kona. The latter is a small resort town with lots of shops and entertainment. The local coast attracts divers and admirers of sport fishing. On the island there are several tropical gardens blooming all year round, but its the main attraction - Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Volcanoes of the island are unique not only for their size and frequency of eruptions, but also for their accessibility.

Kaua'i is the island of golf and eco-tourism. Away from clubs and holes, vacationers here have fun deepwater fishing, horseback riding, surfing or having helicopter flights over tropical forests. Exactly here were shot famous "King Kong" and "Jurassic Park".

Maui, which is situated on the island with the same name, is accepted to play golf. Together with the exotic vegetation and hotels, many of which affect its architecture, it creates the effect of an incredible luxury. The main resort area of the island are Kaanapali and Wailea.

Here Waikiki is the most famous beach with lots of restaurants, high-level hotels, shops and entertainment establishments. There are more than 50 beaches on the island, many of them provide suitable conditions for practicing water sports, especially surfing.
