Hawaii is one of the world's most desired destinations, who
wouldn't want to go? What you might not know is that it's more than just
another group of islands with great beaches, world-class hotels, and a perfect
climate - Hawaii is a place unique unto itself, with things to see and does
that could not happen anywhere else.
Hawaii has the highest life expectancy in the United States,
perhaps it has something to do with it's being the only state in the union that
grows coffee, cacao, and vanilla beans. You might not think that would have
anything to do with the unbelievable quality of life enjoyed by the fortunate
residents of this most amazing place, but if you throw in the fact that
one-third of the world's pineapples come from Hawaii, and that it is the biggest
producer of macadamia nuts on the planet - not to mention that it is
continuously growing (on account of the never-ending but safe lava flow), and
it's pretty safe to say that as well as being a top-shelf tourist destination,
this is one of the best places in the world to live. So why not go there and
find out why for yourself?
A collection of islands close enough to each other to visit
several of them in a short period of them, Hawaii boasts not only natural
scenery that can't be found elsewhere, but also has a significant place in
recent world history - Pearl Harbor comes to mind. It is a fascinating place to
visit - sobering, impressive, and spectacular all at the same time. From there
it's a short trip to downtown Honolulu, known for its friendly people, great
food, and excellent shopping. And if you're curious about where the oldest
Catholic Church in the United States is - it's right here. The Cathedral of Our
Lady of Peace was built in 1843, out of coral, marble, plaster, and terra cotta
- a truly unique architectural masterpiece, that fits in well with Honolulu's
marvelous blend of old and new buildings alike.
Ever wanted to learn how to surf? It doesn't matter what
your age is, or if you're not a world-class athlete - Hawaii is the home of surfing,
you couldn't pick a more fun activity. Any water sport you could imagine is
available for you to try, and if you want to just lie on the beach and take it
all in - there are no better beaches anywhere. But really - how can you be so
close to these incredibly clear waters, with fascinating brightly-colored
tropical fish all around, and not want to go snorkeling? For young and older
alike, this is a great activity - safe, low-impact, and a lot of fun. Maybe you
will get to see the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a - Hawaii's state fish. You might not
be able to pronounce it, but you will never forget seeing it!
You can take a dinner cruise along the famous beaches of
Waikiki - and no need to worry about seagulls going after your food, because
Hawaii has no seagulls! Or go to the north shore of the famous island of Oahu,
and visit the Polynesian Cultural Center - and it's not some boring museum
either, but rather an authentic Polynesian village experience. Spend an
afternoon immersed in the original local culture, and after dinner stay tuned
for the impressive 150 person show, featuring performances and acts you're
simply not going to experience anywhere else
This is only a very small sample of all that there is to see
and do in what is perhaps the most fascinating part of the United States. From
a truly unique culture, to amazing weather, to some of the most unique flora
and fauna anywhere - if you want a vacation you are never going to forget,
there is but one word - Hawaii!
Very informative blog! After reading this blog one can easily plan his tour to Hawaii. Next weekend I and my cousin are also going to visit Hawaii with hawaii bus tours. To visit The Polynesian Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor, Rainbow Falls and Kawalaha'o Church are in our tour plan. But I am little confused regarding our stay there. Can you guide me about the best affordable hotel to stay there that provides healthy food services?
