Hawaii

Hello, in this post we will talk about Hawaii. Basic issues as where is located, important things, and the experience.

Hawaii is located in Oceania and It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, the capital is Honolulu.  The official languages are english and hawaiian.  Summer in Hawaii would be from May to October and the winter cover from November to April. However, the average summer temperature is about 30 degrees and in winter is about 25 °. Still, it is important to know that during the winter nights temperatures can drop to 10º degrees, so it is important to bring warm clothing if you intend to go out at night in Hawaii.

There are eight islands of Hawaii that you can visit and go on vacation: Ni'ihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kaho' olawe, Maui, and Hawaii. This island were formed from volcanic activity initiated at an undersea magma source.

Some of this islands can't be visited

Ni'ihau is a personal property of Robinson's family and there are two hundred inhabitants. In 1915 it was closed to visitors and nowadays the only way to visit it is by taking a half-day helicopter tour but they can't have any contact with natives.

Kaho'olawe was used as a bombing range by U.S.Navy since 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. And finally in 1990, George Bush ordered a stop to this but the island can't be visited yet.

I went there when I was ten and I loved it. The most beautiful of it are the beaches, white sand, crystal and warm sea, and there are places with great waves to surf and very calm just to enjoy it. I visited four of this islands:

Hawaii or Big Island is the biggest island in Hawaii and its main characteristic is the volcanic apparence, it was different than the others. There are some places with volcanic ash or lava but also it has vegetation and very good beaches.

I also visited Oahu that, apart of its beaches, it was more developed than the others, the most important city is Honolulú.

The biggest and most famous luau is in Maui, it is a traditional party of this islands when they cook a pig under the land and ash and meanwhile they do differents activities. Finally, at night, they dinner with different performance of native people.

Finally, Kauai is called the Garden Island because of its vegatation, it has got tropical forest appart of the beaches. A very beautiful trip is to overfly it with an helicopter.
