Are you looking for a place for your next summer vacation? If you love magnificent views, beautiful blue waters, traditional hula-dancing and hospitable locals, America’s Aloha state – Hawaii – will be your ideal destination. About 4000 kilometers far from San Francisco, Hawaii is a group of islands located in the middle of Pacific Ocean. Among islands in Hawaii are five big ones named Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai. Those islands are well-known for their natural beauty including a large number of volcanoes, some of which are still active today. In addition to amazing landscapes, Hawaii offers tourists a wide range of recreational activities such as mountain climbing, hiking, windsurfing, scuba-diving, and snorkeling. Visiting Hawaii, you can also experience Hawaii’s rich culture. In the capital city of Honolulu, visitors can admire local art works at Hawaii State Art Museum or discover Hawaii history at Bishop Museum. If you want to buy some souvenirs at an open-air market, just go to the Ala Moana Center to find your favorite ones. Whenever you are in Hawaii, you will be warmly welcomed by Hawaiian people. They usually perform hula, a traditional Hawaiian dance, and give every tourist a lei, a beautiful necklace made of flowers. If you want to plan your trip to Hawaii, please visit our website at www.gohawaii.com for more information about the island or tour reservation.
