Many people who plan to travel to Hawaii often only think about Oahu, the central island that makes up the Hawaiian Islands because that is where Honolulu, the state capital, as well as Waikiki, the most popular tourist center in Hawaii, are located. However, you may want to consider some other of the beautiful islands, such as Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii (the Big Island), in Hawaii that also offer a fun and somewhat more relaxing vacation. Although Oahu has much to offer, more that 90% of Hawaii’s population is centered on Oahu, making the island much more crowded and busy that the other islands. If you wish to get away from the bustling city life and traffic, the other Hawaiian Islands would be your ideal Hawaii vacation.

Famous for its breathtaking Napali Coastline and the Iao Needle, Kauai is a lush, green island filled with great attractions. Some places to check out in Kauai include Princeville Ranch, Fern Grotto, Blue Dolphin Charters, and much more. There are also many businesses that offer helicopter and sailing tours that will take you throughout the island so you can see the natural beauty of Kauai. Some of the fun activities that can be found in Maui include the Maui Ocean Center, Pacific Whale Foundation, Maui Tropical Plantation, and Haleakala National Park. Maui also offers hiking, biking, sailing, and kayaking tours that allow you to explore the Maui’s breathtaking landscapes.
