Hawaii Overview

By Patrick Fargo

 

 

           

 

Perhaps no other vacation destination has as many choices as 
Hawaii. Consisting of a chain of islands most people tend to 
let the travel agent select their destination. Unless you 
have made repeated trips to Hawaii, you may be missing the 
ideal site for your vacation. I have provided this short 
guide to the islands, based on my many trips to all of the 
islands. Hopefully it will help you select the right place 
for your next visit. 

The Hawaiian Islands were all formed by the same underwater 
volcano and the further north you go the older the islands. 
The commercialization of Hawaii is also different on each 
island. Some islands have large cities while some have 
scattered condos and hotels. 

OAHU: Until a few years ago, all visitors flew into Honolulu 
airport and venturing to any other island required another 
short flight. Today, major airlines fly into Oahu, Kauai, 
Maui, and the big island of Hawaii. Oahu is dominated by 
Waikiki beach and the city of Honolulu. The oldest hotels in 
Hawaii are on Waikiki beach. It is a crowded beach adjacent 
to a very large metropolitan city. Traffic is even a 
problem. Highlights include Pearl Harbor, the Punchbowl 
crater, Sealife Park, and the Cultural Center. There are 
much better destinations than Oahu. I avoid Oahu on all of 
my trips to Hawaii. 

KAUAI: The garden island is beautiful and less hectic. The 
southern part of the island includes resorts and golf 
courses. The east side is scattered hotels and small cities 
while the west side is the breathtaking Napili coast. There 
is much to do on Kauai including traveling to the "Grand 
Canyon", taking a boat trip to Napili, and cruising up the 
Waialua River. Kauai does not have the best beaches or 
snorkeling sites, but is much more lay back and beautiful 
than some of the other islands. 

MAUI: Called the "Best" of Hawaii, has the most to offer 
including snorkeling, the Halelukela crater, Lahina city, 
shopping, golfing, etc. It is separated into East and West 
Maui which are two separate craters. From Maui, you can see 
Lanai (about a 40 minute boat ride), and Molokai about 10 
miles to the north. The Kaanapali Beach area is the oldest 
part of the island and contains a string of hotels. In the 
past 15 years, the Wailua Beach area has developed into a 
high-end part of the island with expensive hotels and 
exquisite golf courses. The scenery is beautiful, and the 
activities are extensive. Most people should include Maui 
in their trip plans. 

HAWAII: The big island is made up of two large 15,000 foot 
volcanoes and boasts the only active volcano in the islands. 
It is very diversified and includes cattle ranches, live 
volcanoes, lust tropical jungles, and dry coast lines with 
fine beaches. It would take you a whole day to drive around 
the island. To the east is Hilo, with its lush tropical 
gardens. To the west is Kona, the dry coast with fine hotels 
and golfing. Between Hilo and Kona are the Volcano National 
Park and its active Kilauea Volcano. Hawaii is less traveled 
than Oahu or Maui and a good destination for a family that 
likes to take in some excursions while still having fun in 
the ocean. 

MOLOKAI: Still relatively un-developed, Molokai has some of 
the most beautiful scenery in all of Hawaii. The east coast 
consists of 6,000 foot cliffs but is accessible only from 
air or sea. This is the place to relax for those A - type 
personalities. There are not as many activities or 
diversions except for some golf courses on the north shore 
and an animal reserve in the middle. If you want a place to 
learn how to relax, this is it. 

In summary, there is something for everyone in Hawaii. Oahu 
is the most developed and unless you love people and like 
shopping in metropolitan centers, you can find more relaxing 
places in Hawaii. Maui is a must. Its rich whaling history, 
fine restaurants, myriad of water activities and diversity 
of landscapes make it worth the visit. Kauai and Hawaii are 
special islands for the discriminating visitor. There are 
things to do with much less commercialism. Select Kauai to 
relax or play golf, and Hawaii to explore lava tubes and 
jungles. If you are looking for a retreat, look to Molokai 
with its limited amenities forcing you to sit by the pool 
sipping your Blue Hawaii. 

In a subsequent publication, I will focus on where to stay 
in the islands and how to use the internet to find your next
vacation retreat.
