This website is
devoted to all that is great about the
Hawaiian Islands, as "discovered" in
1778 by Captain James Cook and named
the "Sandwich Islands" (after his
sponsor, the 4th Earl of Sandwich).
This website is
different from most tourist websites,
just like the name Sandwich Islands is
alternative for Hawaii. It contains
masses of information that people find
useful in preparing for travel to
Hawaii. Like Captain Cook, we have our
sponsors too and we hope you will visit
their websites to find out
more.
Here, under each
color-coded or drop-down menu above,
you'll find information about each
island's: favorite, highlights,
scenery, activities, attractions,
parks, beaches, accommodations,
restaurants, shopping, transportation,
and maps. You can also find
useful background on all of the
Hawaiian Islands in combination,
including webcams, basic facts,
arrival, weather, climate, language,
culture, history, geology, biology,
economy, and more
maps.
The map below shows
the scaled arrangement and distances
between the islands, along with their
major cities and airports. Written next
to each island are five of our favorite
reasons to visit it and the one
uniquely special highlight of each
island (in capital letters). These
should tweak your interest and help you
to start planning your
vacation.
