Of the islands in the beautiful archipelago of Hawai’i, I have been to Oahu, Maui and the big Island…and I look forward both to going back as well as to exploring further. Following are some of my favorite pictures of this magnificent part of the world - enjoy!
TIPS: You’ll find more Hawaii pictures in the reviewsof the Rhapsody of the Seas and the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Click on any of these shots for a full-sized view.

A Plumeria bloom in Oahu, Hawaii. These flowers are not only beautiful, they have a magnificent fragrance. Luckily, you can take the scent home by purchasing some high quality plumeria cream at any local ABC Store.

The lovely beach at Kaanapali, on the south side of Maui. This is where you’ll find many of the major hotels, and on calm days some nice snorkeling and swimming.
The waves at Ho’okipa beach…an incredible and memorable sight

Crashing waves near the blowhole along the shores of Oahu – beautiful! Here is a video of these waves:
Driving with a rental car is easy and safe in the Hawaii’an islands. Here is a shot of the northern coast of Oahu on a gorgeous day. Click to get a better view of the waves and the lighthouse.
Watching the famous sunset from the beach in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Oahu.
A plane leaving from Kahului airport on the north shore of Maui…and a pretty nice beach too!

Twin Falls in Maui, accessed by the driving along the famous ‘road to Hana’ and then taking a very long hike through stunning tropical forest. This hike is not for the faint of heart, nor the disabled. Be sure and stop along the highway, by the way, and enjoy fresh cocnut, sugarcane, pineapple and other local produce. Yum!
The beautiful, lush mountains in Maui. Often on all islands we found it raining at the mountaintops and sunny down below where we were.
A surfer about to enjoy the waves at the beach in Kapalua, a lovely and exclusive resort area in Maui. This area of the island gets more breeze and rain than down below where it’s lower, and is a bit cooler and a lot lusher. The port town of Lahaina is both charming and very hot and sticky!
The grounds of the Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua, Maui
Turtles frequent this beach in Kailua-Kona on the big island. The beach is called Kahalu’u and is known as turtle beach. Many people come here to swim and snorkel.
Big old tree in the center of the town of Kailua Kona. Not sure what it is…banyan? Ficus?
