Hawaii Most do not realize that Hawaii’s islands span more than 1,500 miles, creating the longest chain of islands in the world. The six major islands are Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii’s Big Island. Each island has its own identity, ambiance, climate and geological features that makes it unique.
Why Hawaii so special? First, the number of activities available in such an amazingly beautiful setting. Second, the scenery is unmatched and unlike anything in the world. Mountains and beaches, tropical rainforests and snow. Pineapple plantations and volcanoes. Your guests can sit and do nothing, or try just a few of the diversions that nature has given a home to like: water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, boating, sailing, snorkeling, diving, fishing and kayaking; or try golf, world-class bicycling, tennis, hiking and camping. The year-round good weather and exquisite beaches make Hawaii one of the most promising locations to exchange your vows. |
