A vacation to the amazing islands of Hawaii should be on every traveler’s bucket list. The fiftieth state in the United States has eight islands but only six are open to the public. The most populated island is Oahu, also home to the capital city, Honolulu. The Big Island, Hawai’i, has some of the best snorkeling and diving waters in the state. Kauai, known as the Garden Island, is filled with lush greenery. Lanai is the most quiet of the public islands. Many native Hawaiians reside on Molokai. And the island still remains fairly underdeveloped today. And the island of Maui, with its wealth of beaches and upscale resorts, is a luxury destination not to be missed on a Hawaiian vacation.
