Vacation Rentals & Apartments in Hawaii

The biggest airport on Hawaii is on Oahu and this is where most international flights land. Hawaii consists of 6 populated islands: Oahu, Hawaii Island (Big Island), Kauai and Maui offer the most facilities and are the most populous islands, while Molokai and Lanai are best for an adventure away from the tourists. In terms of landscapes, the north and eastern sides of Hawaii are wetter and greener while the south and west is more arid.

Most people think of sea and surf when they think of Hawaii, and there’s no doubt that it’s a world leader in this respect. But Hawaii offers much more than its pristine beaches and turquoise waters. Discover 50 state parks with the most active volcano on Earth, Kilauea, on the Big Island, Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai, known as Hawaii’s Grand Canyon, and don’t miss the local’s favourite: Iao Valley, a peaceful place offering easy hikes and a dizzying array of tropical plants to discover.

There are many reasons why Hawaii is pure heaven for honeymooners. Contemplating your life together while staring at the life blood of the planet bubbling from a crater in the Hawaii Volcano National Park is a truly existential experience. Cooler pleasures are to be found soaring above the island in a helicopter ride – a once in a lifetime experience that gives you a birds’ eye view of the forests, beaches and lava flows of these extraordinary and romantic islands.

Riding the waves is not the only watersport you’ll find on Hawaii. Ride a jet ski around Maunalua Bay or try wakeboarding off the coast of Oahu – like snowboarding but on water! Prefer being in the water rather than on it? Snorkeling and scuba diving around Hawaii is spectacular, and you’ll have the chance to explore underwater caves and see remarkable sea life such as turtles and manta rays, as well as some of the finest coral reefs in the world. We particularly recommend Hanauma Bay for coral reef exploration.

The Sea Life Park on Oahu gives you a unique insight into the rich and varied marine life in the coastal areas around the islands of Hawaii. Both educational and fun, this is a must-see attraction for the young and young at heart.

Hawaii is famous for its extraordinary beaches, which feature sand of pure green, such as Papakolea Beach, darkest black, such as Punaluu Beach, or hot lava red, such as Kaihalulu Beach, all created by the different mineral make-up of the miniature tones of the coast.

The attack on Pearl Harbour brought the USA into the second World War, and while it still functions as an active military base, it offers much for the visitor to see.
