Six islands, six different vacations

City, surf and history in one island

The only island where you can eat a great breakfast in a city, stand on a world-famous surf break by lunch and hike a rainforest ridge before dinner.

• First-timers
• Food and city
• History

Big scenery with resort comfort

A summit above the clouds, a rainforest highway and some of the most swimmable beaches in the state, wrapped around the widest choice of resorts and condos in Hawaii.

• Couples
• Whale watching
• Beach days

The most beautiful, the least developed

The oldest main island and it looks it. Sea cliffs, a canyon a mile wide and valleys so green they look color-graded. Wild in a way the others no longer are.

• Scenery
• Hiking
• Honeymoons

Active volcanoes and eleven climate zones

Bigger than all the other islands combined, with black sand, green sand, an active volcano and one of the best stargazing sites anywhere on earth.

• Landscapes
• Stargazing
• Road trips

Thirty miles of paved road and that is it

A small island with two luxury resorts, one tiny town and almost no traffic. Either a superb day trip from Maui or a very quiet, very expensive week.

• Day trips
• Luxury
• Solitude

The most Hawaiian island, on its own terms

No traffic lights, no resorts, the highest sea cliffs in the world and a community that has repeatedly chosen not to develop. Visit thoughtfully or not at all.

• Cultural travel
• Solitude
• Slow trips
