The Hawaiian Islands, a tropical archipelago in the Pacific Ocean that stretches over 2,500 kilometers, are every bit as beautiful as they appear on the silver screen. Countless amounts of tourists book cheap flights to Hawaii every year in search of holidays filled with divine beaches, exciting local foods, natural wonders and more activities than you could possibly imagine packed into a single trip. There are six main islands within easy reach of many Canadian airports: Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu and Kauai. The most visited and most populated island, Oahu is recommended for first-time visitors to The Aloha State. The island offers fabulous sandy and sunny options like Waikiki, Ala Moana and Hanauma Bay. On Oahu you’ll find the state capital, Honolulu. The vibrant city is home to the Honolulu Zoo, Aloha Tower, Waikiki Aquarium, and is the birthplace of the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama.
Hawaii, known as The Big Island, is vastly diverse. Snowcapped mountains give way to sandy beaches and active volcanoes. Full of contrasts, Hawaii contains 11 of the world's 13 climactic zones. Maui is the second-largest island, home to what are often credited as the finest beaches in the world, making it a favoured destination for whale watching and surfing. Kauai is the oldest and northernmost island and, some would say, the most beautiful. From the Coconut Coast's golden sand beaches to the Waimea Canyon, considered the Pacific's Grand Canyon, it's a perfect destination for outdoor adventures. The islands of Molokai and Lanai are true paradise islands, offering seclusion and the ultimate get-away-from-it-all vacation. The warmth of the locals and diversity of activities make the Hawaiian Islands a draw for tourists of all types. Hawaii is easily accessible by direct flights arriving to the Honolulu International Airport from many international cities.
