The idyllically beautiful islands of Hawaii are part of the United States, with six islands forming the state. These are Oahu, Maui, Kauai, The Big Island (Hawaii), Molokai and Lanai, and each one offers its own unique mixture of history, culture and traditions. Mark Twain called Hawaii ‘the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean’, and certainly, with its spectacular white sand beaches, fabulous scenery and tropical climate, Hawaii offers the nearest thing to paradise on earth.
