About Hawaii
It's easy to see why Hawaii has become synonymous with paradise.

beckoning adventurous spirits.
Natural Beauty
Snapshots of these islands scattered in the cobalt blue Pacific
Ocean are heavenly, without the need for any embellishment by
tourist brochures. Sunrises and sunsets are so spectacular
that they're cause for celebration all by themselves, such
as atop Haleakalā volcano on Maui. As tropical getaways go,
Hawaii couldn't be easier or more worth the trip, though be aware
that visiting these Polynesian isles isn't always cheap. But whether
you're dreaming of swimming in crystal waterfall pools or lazing on
golden-sand beaches, you can find what you're looking for here.
Things To Do
Swimming with Dolphins
Signing up for a 'dolphin encounter' in Hawaii deserves careful consideration.
Although many programs claim to be educational and ecofriendly, the effects of
human-dolphin interaction is complex.
Beaches & Swimming
When it comes to swimming beaches, your options seem endless in Hawaii.
Coastal strands come in a rainbow of hues and an infinite variety of textures – with
sand that's a sparkling white, tan, black, charcoal, green or orange, or scattered
with sea-glass, pebbles and boulders, and cratered with lava-rock tide pools.
