Hawaii Travel Tips
Hawaii - the Aloha State - welcomes and seduces visitors with its sea breezes and tropical warmth. This is where East merges with West in a blur of hula and disco, fast food and tea ceremonies, Shinto shrines and surf clubs.
Mark Twain declared Hawaii to be the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean, and not even 30 years of mass tourism have managed to prove him wrong. Whether your thing is volcano spotting, surfing or just lying back and smelling the orchids, this is the place to indulge yourself.
