Welcome to Kidz Go Hawaii - made up of many islands, there are six main tourist destinations - the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu.   Hawaii is often called 'The Big Island' as it's twice as big as the other islands combined.

The Islands
Hawaii, 'the Big Island' - visit volcano and lava fields, see lush, tropical forest, beaches, horse riding, cycling, bird watching, fishing, kayaking.
Kauai, 'the Garden Isle' - Spectacular canyons, navigable rivers, wildlife refuge, windsurfing, water skiing, whale watching, diving, hiking.
Lanai, 'the Secluded Isle' -  Rugged landscapes sprinkled with pineapple fields.  Isolated and not so touristy, but good for hiking or bike riding.
Maui, 'the Magic Isle' - Highlighted by the 10,000 ft Haleakia Mountain.  Visit Haleakia National Park,  pineapple plantation, Sugar Cane Train, Maui Ocean Center and enjoy activities such as bicycling, kite surfing, parasailing, mountain biking, tennis, snorkeling, water rafting, and rollerblading.
Molakai, 'the Friendly Isle' - peaceful and unspoiled, with a few little towns and plenty of hideaways to explore.  Visit the highest sea cliffs in the world, the Molakai Wildlife Park and take a mule ride to the isolated Kalaupapa Peninsula.
Oahu, 'the Gathering Place' - Known for the city of Honolulu - the gateway to Hawaii, and the capital city.  The famous Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head Crater are located here.  The island is a mix of tropical paradise, with sandy beaches, beautiful bays, unspoiled forest trails, and quaint towns, plus city buzz and exciting shopping and nightlife.

	Hawaii Volcanoes National Park The park highlights two of the world's most active volcanoes, and offers insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and views of dramatic volcanic landscapes.  You can explore with just a one to three hour drive, or spend a few days in the park and explore on foot.  Ranger-led and Junior Ranger programs available.  www.nps.gov/havo/
	Waikiki Beach, Hawaii This is a two mile stretch of coast fronted by hotels and tourism related facilities and the very beautiful Kapiolani Park. The areas towards Diamond Head are near to the expansive picnic and recreational facilities, including those of Kapiolani Park.  The beach has life guards and it is strongly recommended that you only swim in patrolled areas.  www.aloha.com/~lifeguards/waikiki.html
	Dole Pineapple Plantation, Oahu Hawaii's complete pineapple experience and one of Oahu's most popular visitor attractions.  Attractions include a ride onboard the Pineapple Express, the world's largest maze, informative plantation tours, pineapple information galore, shopping and birthday party hosting. www.dole-plantation.com/
	Surfing Lessons Honolulu What better place to learn to surf than Hawaii on beautiful Waikiki Beach!    Surf lessons can be private, semi private (2:1) or Group (5:1) Children under the age of 14 must start with a private lesson to ensure safety and the best results.  The team consists of professional surfers, lifeguards and CPR trained instructors.   www.hawaiiactive.com
	Hawaii Snorkelling Snorkeling is a safe and enjoyable way to explore the world beneath the waves and is open to all ages and skill levels. Many of Hawaii's top dive sites, particularly the shallow sheltered bays, are just as rewarding for snorkelers as they are for divers.  Boat operators offer cruises to popular snorkeling locations on each of the islands and some companies that offer kayaking snorkel trips. www.hawaiiscubadiving.com
