DESTINATIONS

Sunsets paint the sky with ethereal colors no one has ever been able entirely to replicate. Plumeria-scented breezes gently caress your face as you’re stretched out on a luscious piece of coastline so pristine and white it almost doesn’t seem real. This is the sorcery of Hawaii. Spending time in this magical land is a salve for the soul, and anyone who has visited the island oases of Hawaii knows how life can be life-changing. So, the question is not if you plan on going but when.

Many travelers don’t realize there are 137 islands in the Hawaiian chain, but many are small islets or coral reefs, atolls, and typically uninhabited. There are eight main islands: Hawaii, Maui, Koho’olawe, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau (also known as the Forbidden Island, a critical habitat for highly endangered species and one of the most-coveted travel destinations in the world).

ENJOYMENT FOR ALL

Hawaii holds something for all elite travelers regardless of age or interests:

• Relaxation;
• Health retreats;
• Romance;
• Sports and adventure.

Whether you’re an avid adventure seeker or a spectator, Hawaii offers a diverse range of outdoor activities and other exhilarating programs. You can zipline through the forest canopies, mountain bike on some of the most scenic trails on the planet, do world-class surfing, remote scuba diving, fine dining, shop, and much more. Hawaii is not just a destination, it's an adventure waiting to be explored. Keiki, the Hawaiian word for children, is welcomed everywhere, making it a perfect family destination.

ENDLESS SERIES OF CELEBRATIONS

All the central Hawaiian Islands have a full roster of events families will appreciate. For instance, the Aloha Festival is the largest Hawaiian cultural celebration in the US. In 1946, Aloha Festivals began as "Aloha Week," an artistic celebration of Hawaii's music, dance, and history intended to perpetuate the islands' unique traditions. Aloha Festivals have become a statewide celebration of Hawaiian culture. The extravaganza now encompasses some 300 events on six islands. The Hawaii Food and Wine Festival has had over  100 internationally renowned master chefs, culinary personalities, winemakers, and mixologists gathering for the past nine years. This festival has expanded from a three-day festival with 30 chefs in Waikiki to more than 20 events with more than 10,000 attendees and 120 chefs spanning three Islands. Since its 2011 launch, HFWF has donated more than $3 million to community organizations supporting sustainability, culinary programs and agriculture. Other events to note include:
