Like you, we’ve been thinking about taking a vacation to somewhere warm and sunny when the time is right. Hawaii is at the top of our list. What about yours?
This week we want to share the different types of experiences you will receive while visiting the Hawaiian Islands. Let us know which island inspires you the most and which one you’d see first (or visit them all during your trip).
According to a recent study, if you ask 100 people to name their top choice for a vacation, at least 30 of them will name Hawaii. Visions of tropical palm trees swaying in the breeze, drinks in coconut shells, and hula dancers create a very memorable image!

There are main islands in the Hawaii chain that are open to tourism, and each one of the islands offers different experiences:
