Hawaii at a Glance
Mark Twain called Hawaii “the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean”. Praise indeed, though it hardly describes the fantastic range of attractions that have bewitched visitors to this remote archipelago for centuries.
Uncle Sam’s 50th state (capital Honolulu) lies some 2,500 miles off the coast of mainland America, in the blue heart of the Pacific. Its eight main islands are all volcanic in origin and the white-hot magma has crystallised to form a natural wonderland. There are subterranean caves and lava tubes, vibrant coral gardens, colossal sea cliffs, prehistoric rain-forests, plunging ravines and an eternity of beaches – blue, white and green! By night the clear, unpolluted atmosphere gives you a unique window onto the universe – in no other sky do the stars shine so brightly.
The Land of Aloha (Welcome) is equally inviting in human terms. Its people are warm and friendly. Its cities buzz with life. You encounter a fascinating combination of American energy and Polynesian charm. And, of course, you can meet the cream of the surfing world, drawn to Hawaii by its magnificent waves. Taming the ocean with a wooden board is one excitement you won’t want to miss. But there is a vast array of other pursuits jostling for your attention.
DoSomethingDifferent.com offers activities and adventures across four islands. They include world-class snorkelling, cycling above the clouds, hitting zero-gravity in an aerobatic glider and witnessing dawn break from the top of the world! If you are lucky enough to go in winter, you have the chance to watch humpback whales at play just yards from your kayak. To make sure you experience a bundle of Hawaiian thrills, pre-book through DoSomethingDifferent.com.
