Aloha!
Apart from being one of the first words, Luxe Travel Insiders will hear upon landing on the islands, "aloha" holds a deeper meaning than just hello. It refers to many things including goodbye and love. The aloha spirit comes from the Hawaiian heart regardless of one's ethnic heritage. The key is the hear instead of the body that carries the spirit of Aloha. Aloha is the way of life in this merry state, one that promotes love and harmony.
There are 6 major islands to explore: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii Island. You'll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers unique adventurous experience such as discovery of live volcanoes & swimming with Manta ray or giant turtle.
So the question is which island or islands to visit?
O'ahu
There is more to see and do than is possible in one visit - but it's fun to try. Between cosmopolitan Honolulu, the great resort areas of Waikiki, Ko Olina and Turtle Bay, and the laid-back vibe and natural island beauty of the North Shore and Windward side, it's easy to lose yourself in the island lifestyle.
What to do: Pearl Harbour, Downtown Honolulu, Ala Moana Center, Magic of Polynesia
Maui
The Valley Isle offers stunning contrasts between cascading waterfalls and alpine peaks, and boho towns and award-winning resorts. Consistently named the best island in the world, Maui is celebrated for its natural beauty, ideal climate, outdoor activities, dining shopping and relaxed luxe lifestyle.
What to do: Haleakala National Park, hampback whale watching, golf, snorkelling
Hawai'i Island
Also known as The Big Island, it is "big" in every way. It is twice the size of all the other major islands combined. Kilauea, its active volcano and the most active in the world, is adding to the island's landmass every day - a steaming wonder that attracts people from all over the world. Within its 226 miles of coastline you can visit rain forests, sometimes-snow capped mountains, tropical waterfalls and beaches of many colours.

Lanai
Lanai can feel like two places. The first is found in luxurious resorts where visitors can indulge in world-class amenities and championship-level golf at the Manele Golf Course. The other is found bouncing along the island’s rugged back-roads in a 4-wheel drive exploring off the beaten path treasures like Keahiakawelo (Garden of the Gods) and Polihua Beach. In fact, only 30 miles of Lanai’s roads are paved.

The spectacular natural wonders of the island are best seen from above, from inside a helicopter: the Napali Coast, Wailua Falls, Waimea Canyon and the golden beaches on the west side.
