About the Islands of Oahu and Kauai
Oahu – The Gathering Place
The island of Oahu displays stunning natural beauty coupled with the modern luxuries of today. Nicknamed the gathering place, Oahu is the third largest Hawaiian island and home to 80% of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the native Hawaiian people. Oahu is often the first stop for Hawaii visitors, offering a vibrant atmosphere and an abundant selection of things to do from hiking up to Manoa Falls to sunbathing on the world famous Waikiki beach. Be sure to bring the entire family to create indelible memories.
Kauai – The Garden Isle
Kauai is carpeted in lush greenery and enveloped with colorful flowers, fresh island fruit, and oftentimes a gentle, cool mist. Appealing to a wide audience, Kauai boasts dramatic beauty, an abundance of activities, and a laid back atmosphere. Each Hawaiian island has its own distinctive charm, and Kauai is the tropical centerpiece of Hawaii. Its timeless beauty and allure are what make it such a treasured destination.
