If you’re planning to take a trip to Hawaii this year, you’ll want to know exactly what you’re in store for, depending on which one of the six main islands you stay on for your vacation destination.

For those looking for tropical rainforests, white sandy beaches, or soaring mountains, you’ll need to choose the ideal island to meet your needs.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at each one of the islands in greater detail below.

Maui

You’ll absolutely fall head over heels in love with Maui if you’re trying to get away from the big city vibe, yet still find plenty of things to do in this wonderfully diverse setting.

The interesting thing about Maui is the island was actually formed by two volcanoes, and you’ll truly appreciate the majesty of the 10,000 foot Mount Haleakala.

Not only that, you’ll also enjoy stunning sunsets, wonderful adventurous activities, and plenty of fantastic luxury resorts on beautiful white sandy beaches.

There are amazing scenic drives, gorgeous small towns, and incredible shopping experiences for all to enjoy.

Oahu

The next island in question is called Oahu.

This island is perfect for those looking to enjoy a big city atmosphere. There are also many beautiful natural attractions and an impressive array of historically significant tours.

According to Discover Hawaii Tours, creator of Pearl Harbor + Dole Plantation + Polynesian Cultural Center Tour – The Official Pearl Harbor Tours Site, “Pearl Harbor Tours are a must on any trip to Hawaii… With expert guides, exciting narration, visiting Pearl Harbor is easy and you see all of the top attractions, and your day at Pearl Harbor will be a day well spent.”

Besides the great historical tours at www.discoverhawaiitours.com/pearl-harbor-tours/, there’s also to incredibly gorgeous mountain ranges, beautiful beaches, and the dazzling botanical gardens.

The Big Island of Hawaii

The Big Island of Hawaii shares its name with the state.

This is one of the most striking places in the world to visit, and if you’re looking to see nature in all of its glory, this is an excellent option to choose.

As a matter of fact, in one moment you can get up close and personal with an active volcano. Or you can visit a dormant one and climb the snow-capped summit.

This island also has beautiful botanical gardens, waterfalls, and many wonderful luxury resorts.

According to Fun Hawaii Tours, visit  “HAWAII, a perfect place to look for some adventure, excitement, and maybe a little bit of danger.”

Enjoy the natural splendor of the big Island sooner rather than later.

This tropical destination is perfect for those looking to visit a gorgeous vacation paradise.

If you’re looking to truly experience nature and immerse yourself in a relaxing vacation of solitude, then this is the island to visit.

There are several luxury hotels to stay in that often feature outdoor pergola designs and deck porches where you can sit and enjoy the landscape. And if you like snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, golfing, horseback riding and mountain biking without all of the crowds, then you’ll definitely love this island for sure.

Molokai

This is also a great island if you’re looking to relax and experience peace and quiet.

Molokai isn’t like the other islands though. There is not one luxury resort on it.

When visiting here, you’ll get to live like the locals live while enjoying gorgeous rainforest terrain, beautiful coral reefs, and phenomenal beaches that are often empty.

Kauai

Affectionately known as the Garden Isle, this island is the most luscious, greenest, and wettest of all six major Hawaiian Islands.

If you enjoy water sports, marvelous restaurants, fun outdoor swimming pools, and other amazing activities and resort features, you’ll love spending time on the island of Kauai.
