Best Tourist Attractions in Hawaii
Hawaii's tropical climate and laid-back Pacific Island atmosphere are just part of what makes the state so special. There are so many activities to do on the Hawaiian islands, and they attract people of all ages. Hawaii is a true paradise with its own unique culture. Hawaii has eight primary islands: Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Perhaps the most special part of the islands, however, are its people, whose welcoming attitude makes you truly feel like you are in paradise.
Swim with sharks in Haleiwa, North Shore Oahu: AĀ three-mile-long (4.8 kilometers) boat trip out to a natural shark aggregate site with One Ocean Diving for an experience of a lifetime. You never know what youāll encounter in this experience, whether that be swimming with 50 Galapagos and sandbar sharks or the beautiful lone tiger shark. Donāt believe everything you see in the media; humans and sharks can coexist with each other.
Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial:Ā Pearl Harbor is a National Historic Landmark and active military base that earned its place in history for the 1941 attack, which killed 1,177 servicemen on the USS Arizona. The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center has free admission and is the meeting place for tours, including transportation to the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island, where visitors can see WWII aircraft and artifacts, as well as experience, landing an airplane on an aircraft carrier in a flight simulator.
Diamond Head State Monument: This monument sits on the eastern edge of the Waikiki coastline. Visiting the monument will give you a hiking experience like no other. The hike will also give visitors a glimpse into the geological and military history of Diamond Head. Going through the trails, you will eventually reach a lighted 225-foot tunnel, which is the entrance to the Fire Control station built-in 1911.
Haleakala National Park:Ā Mauiās most popular landmark, the shield volcano Haleakala formed most of the island. The Haleakala National Park takes up 28,000 acres and includes the summit where lies the crater, the mountain, its wilderness, and the coastal Kipahulu area. Visit the 10,023-foot peak, Mauiās tallest point at sunrise for stunning postcard views.
Bike to the lava on the Big Island:Ā Take a short 45-minute bike ride starting in Kalapana to see the lava flowing into the water on the Big Island of Hawaii, which is the largest and youngest of all the islands in the Hawaiian Island chain and is currently growing every year. KÄ«lauea volcano has been erupting for over 30 years and is currently flowing into the ocean now, creating new land. You might be lucky and encounter surface flows on your adventure.
Hana Road:Ā The dramatic Hana Road, officially named Hana Highway, is a scenic 52-mile stretch of highway on the island of Maui that winds from PÄŹ»ia through lush forests and along the coast to the remote town of Hana. This trip is worthwhile both for the sightseeing along the stunning drive, the things to do along the way, and the visit to the town itself. Attractions along the route include numerous hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and beaches. Hana's location, relatively cut off from the rest of the island, has allowed it to maintain more of a traditional Hawaiian culture than other towns.
