Many people think of Hawaii solely as a tropical beach paradise. Without question, Hawaii has many of the world's top rated beaches. In addition, however, Hawaii has an amazingly diverse ecology which includes remote canyons, coral reefs, desert-like terrain, lush valleys, snow-capped mountains, rainforests, active and dormant volcanoes and countless waterfalls.

The types of activities and attractions that you can experience in Hawaii vary from island to island. You'll soon learn that, while all of the Hawaiian islands were born from Madame Pele, the goddess of Hawaii's volcanoes, each island is quite different from the others, and each has its own unique charm.

White sandy beaches, gnarly waves and balmy temperatures are just a few of the attractions that draw visitors to Hawaii -- and for many, they are enough. But those willing to scratch beneath the surface can also dip their toes into a culture that has not only retained the luster of its early Polynesian beginnings but is also experiencing a renaissance among residents throughout the islands. From spiritual healing using local ingredients to re-created ancient villages to eco-excursions that bring you into contact with archeology and history, there is more to Hawaii than meets the eye.
