Hawaii is a cluster of volcanic islands in which nature is abundant with fauna and flora, which in fact are its main legacy and patrimony. Most of its tourism comes to see these naturally beautiful islands. Hawaii is unique and the environment is treated carefully with respect. If you want to explore the natural beauty of Hawaii, there are several organized tours you can go on throughout the islands. Cycling tours, hiking tours, whale watching, horseback riding, bird watching.... just about anything that has to do with nature, there is a tour company to guide you through it. Special places for tours are on the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island of Hawaii.
Let's begin with Diamond Head on Oahu. This is one of the most impressionable and accessible volcanoes on the islands. With only 230 metres above sea level, it is an easy trail to hike. From the top, you'll enjoy a bird's eye view of Waikiki, Honolulu, Koko Head, and even can see whales if you come during the right time of year.
Another pretty place is Manoa Falls, a 45 metre waterfall surrounded by lush flora. You can also enjoy the views from Pali Lookout which is located on the Pali motorway, and from where you will be able to see impressionable cliffs. Waimea Falls, or Tortoise Bay are other places not to be missed on your holiday in Oahu.
Haleakala Crater is without a doubt one of the most spectacular things to see in Hawaii. With more than 3000 metres in height, it is known as the sun's house. You can climb it by bicycle, on horseback or on foot.
On the Island of Maui, you will be able to enjoy the Iao Valley, a lush, tropical land where you can go hiking, or a stroll, and of course the views.
In Kauai, the main natural attractions are the Waimea Canyon, where you can hike or mountain bike, or the Wailua River, where you can kayak.
The most famous place visited in Hawaii is on the Big Island; the Volcanoes National Park of Hawaii is a place of more than 1200 km2, and whose diverse ambiance includes volcanoes and tropical forests. It is a natural biosphere, and so beautiful that it seems unreal. Not to be missed!
On the same island, you can see the Waipio Valley where you'll see numerous waterfalls, some of which are over 200 metres in height! |
