The Aloha Spirit
The Islands have a gentle and unique culture unlike anyother in the USA, and it’s something we encourage all visitors to experience.Whether that’s catching a hula show, experiencing a lūʻau ( a traditional dinner and cultural showcase),taking in an island festival, learning how to make a lei, or simply to sit and ‘Talk Story’ with a local, we invite our visitorsto come away enriched, fulfilled and with a better appreciation, and love, ofour islands and their people.
A mix of City & Serenity
The perfect combination. By recommending a few days in thebustling capital of Honolulu on Oʻahuwhich offers incredible shopping, nightlife, top hotels & resorts , and ofcourse the world famous Waikīkī beach, combined with a more relaxing stay at a beautiful resorton either Maui, Kauaʻi orHawaiʻi Island, which alloffer a quieter pace of life with outdoor activities, beaches, local marketsand fewer crowds, you can give your customers the best of both worlds.
A fascinating history
Hawaiʻiis the only US State to have once had a Royal Family and their incrediblelegacy lives on today through festivals, museums and palaces such as the IolaniPalace in Honolulu and the Merry Monarch festival on Hawaiʻi Island. In more recent times,Pearl Harbour offers a moving and spellbinding look at the events that broughtthe USA into World War II.
Incredible nature & wildlife
The Hawaiian Islands are a nature lovers paradise. Amongother things, visitors can go whale watching, bird watching, snorkel with Mantarays, spot turtles from their hotel or hike in one of the many spectacularNational Parks.
Mālama
Mālama means ‘to care for’ or ‘to give back’ and it’s at thecore of how the Hawaiian people treat their environment believing that if youcare for the land, it will in turn, care for you. We encourage all visitors toMālama while they are in Hawaiʻiand they can do this in many ways. They could visit one of the many localfestivals or events, shop locally at farmers markets, buy locally made orsourced gifts and souvenirs, take part in a volunteer activity or one of themany cultural activities available at hotels and resorts. Maui in particular,is in need of Mālama following the terrible fires that destroyed the beautifultown of Lahaina and which affected so many. Maui is excited to give respectfuland responsible visitors a very warm welcome back to the island. Tourism isvitally important to Maui’s economy and recovery so we do encourage you to letyour clients know Maui is open and can’t wait to give warm aloha to visitors.
