Birthplace of President Barack Obama, Hawaii is a string of six tropical islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is often described as paradise, and it is easy to see why. The natural beauty of the white sand, deep-blue waters, rainforests and volcanic peaks is mesmerizing, and the islands teem with a rich diversity of plant and animal life. Oahu is the third largest island and home to Honolulu, the state capital. Honolulu is a multicultural city, where world class shopping, Waikiki beach, and the international airport, with flights coming in and out from all over the world, are within a few miles of each other.

Millions of visitors experience this paradise annually. From sunbathing to ironman triathlons to newlyweds honeymooning and executives attending corporate conventions, you can always find a reason to make your way to Hawaii. Beautiful weather is close to guaranteed with temperatures year-round at a perfect 80 degrees. The myriad attractions of the islands such as the dramatically sculpted cliffs, the dolphin and turtle friendly waters, and the whale-watching, will make your trip here truly unforgettable. You can learn to surf or watch professional surfers compete with each other and test their wits against some of the biggest waves in the world. At a more tranquil level, try snorkeling or scuba diving amongst tropical fish of all shapes, sizes and colors in the coral reefs

Hawaii has a fascinating history and taking the time to learn about the rich culture of the islands, with its Polynesian roots, is very rewarding. The Pacific Rim cuisine is a delicious and exciting mix of flavors and cultures and what could be better than drinking mai tais at sunset to the soft sounds of a traditional ukulele playing in the distance. Visit an authentic 'luau' to get a true taste of Hawaiian culture and enjoy watching the art of the hula.

The treasures of Hawaii are unique. Although the people of Hawaii recognize that their home is not really paradise, on any given day it can certainly feel like it.
