awaii gives you your money’s worth and so much more –


whether you’re visiting the Islands of Aloha to honeymoon, or to cycle down a volcano, to relax on one of Hawaii’s perfect palm-fringed beaches or to watch the humpback whales and dolphins, and surf the giant waves, or to simply shop! Each island offers incredible diversity and beautiful scenery, ranging from active volcanoes set amidst black lava plains, to lush rainforests and waterfalls, as well


as uncrowded, pristine beaches. Cowboy ‘Paniolo’ ranches are there


too, as well as the enormous surfing waves of Oahu’s North Shore, which have made Hawaii so famous.

With its year-round temperate climate and warm seas, Hawaii is perfect for all watersports activities, including scuba diving and snorkelling.
