One of the hardest parts of planning a trip to Hawaii is deciding which of the major Hawaiian Islands you should visit.
Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities.
1. Oahu
Oahu has a bit of everything, packed in 597 square miles. You can hike into thick rainforests, and when you need a break, relax on powdery white sand beaches and stay at luxury resorts.
Oahu has become a great destination for families. The urban core of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place.
2. Maui
Maui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent to some of the state's best beaches.
A large dormant volcano in east Maui at sunrise or sunset is a serene experience, as well as driving the Road to Hana, famed for its thundering waterfalls.
3. Kauai
Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but that's what makes it so lively, you'll come across flowers and plants you've never seen before.
For some of the best views on the island, visit Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and the Na Pali coast, boasting some of the world's highest sea cliffs.
4. Big Island
The Big Island is the only Hawaiian island still growing. Witness the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, lightning and volcanoes with a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
It's one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow.
In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the world's sub-climate zones, from the snow-covered mountain of Mauna Kea, green forests of Waipio Valley to stretches of barren desert.
