Oahu – Energising
Home to the state capital and the majority of Hawaii’s population, Oahu is a vibrant mix of nature and cultural wonders with the modern arts, entertainment and amenities of the 21st century. See pro surfers charge the big winter waves of the legendary North Shore, relive American History at the memorials and museums of Pearl Harbour or soak up the sun and take a surfing lesson on Waikiki Beach.Maui - Rejuvenating
The second largest island is home to what some believe are the best beaches in the world. The waters off of Maui are also some of the best places in the world to whale watch every winter. Wake up early to catch the Haleakala sunrise, stroll through the historic hot spot of Lahaina town or drive the long and winding road to Hana for spectacular scenery.

If you are looking for that ‘get away from it all’ experience choose Kauai. It has all of the Polynesian beauty but without the hustle and bustle you can get in around Honolulu. A gentle horse ride on the beach at sunset with your back to the pineapple fields will be a memory that will never fade.
