Aloha and welcome to Hawaii - the islands of amusement! A world-class travel destination, Hawaii - a place for family merriment, introspection and exploration - is perfect for weddings, honeymoons, or romantic getaways. This is a place where the West meets the East in a blur of hula and disco, soap operas and Far East art, junk food and Japanese tea ceremonies, surf clubs and Shinto shrines. As you may have gathered already, Hawaii can be identified as one of the most exotic places in the world.

The islands of Aloha routinely seduce visitors with their frangipani-scented sea breezes and tropical warmth, demonstrating one of the reasons why Mark Twain described Hawaii as "the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean." Here, surfing, snorkeling, waiting to watch a whale breach, and just lying back and smelling the orchids might be some of the things on your to-do list. Volcano spotting is yet another exotic story. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is unequaled, with terrain ranging from tropical beaches to the sub-arctic (4103m summit of Mauna Loa). Take a guided walk to see two active volcanoes! You will be mesmerized. Children, too, will love the sight of fiery lava flows. Hawaii is the perfect place for their first surf lesson as well. They would also like to discover with you green fern forests and hidden waterfalls. This is the time to show them nature 'in full.'

Glorious sunsets and lush rainforests; secluded beaches and tropical, balmy evenings; the lolling Pacific Ocean brimming with an indefinable sensuality: Hawaii is the ultimate place for you and your beloved. You can expand your interests here and take your time to share your values with your partner as you indulge in various activities, including attending a scintillating Arts and Culture event for which Hawaii is gaining a solid reputation, or maybe a distinguished symphony concert at the Blaisdell Concert Hall.

Whether it is to see the Monet or the Old World masters, go hand in hand with your loved ones to Hawaii. It is definitely a place for bonding that will provide you with a vacation you will never forget.
