Others offer spectacular scenery or quiet beaches and solitude.
Kauai
Kauai's spectacular natural environment and easy accessibility make it a perfect destination for today's adventure-seeker. Take an invigorating mountain bike ride down Waimea Canyon Road, an interpretive nature ride through the native forests of Kokee State Park, or just a leisurely cruise on the beach. You can rent mountain bikes and take guided tours on the Island's north, south and east shores. Kauai is also a hiker's paradise. The rewards are unparalleled views, tropical vegetation, streams, waterfalls, swimming holes and most of all, exquisite isolation.

Helicopter flight-seeing tours are available from Lihue, Port Allen and Princeville. By land, by sea, or by air, Kauai is a refreshing fantasy full of adventure and discovery.
Lanai
Lanai is considered Hawaii's most exclusive island, where you'll often find an entire stretch of sand all to yourself. While most visitors seem to enjoy lounging around and soaking it all in, you can also choose to indulge among popular water sports. One of the greatest attractions is Hulopoe Bay, a marine conservation area known for its vivid tropical reef fish.
Maui
From brilliant pearl white, to stark volcanic black, the sands of Maui beaches are as varied as the people who come from around the world to enjoy them. And here you will definitely find a beach that suits you perfectly. Some beaches are so small and tucked away you'll need an experienced guide to help you find them, while others (like famous Kaanapali or Wailea) are ranked among the best beaches in the country. And when you've had enough fun in the sand, a world of water activities awaits you. Snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, surfing, windsurfing, boogie boarding, skim boarding, jet-skiing, catamaran cruises, deep sea fishing and charters of every kind can be found on Maui.
Molokai
Much like everything else on Molokai, there is nothing pre-fabricated or pre-packaged about any of the myriad choices of activities you'll enjoy here. It is truly a natural playground where you are free to walk, run, hike, kayak, swim, or bike your way through an unforgettable vacation. Among Molokai's biggest attractions are the world's tallest sea cliffs, plunging an astounding 3,000 feet to meet the crashing surf. This awesome coast is a must-see, and there are several ways to experience it. You might charter a sightseeing boat, hike, bike, horseback ride, or take a thrilling mule train trip down the very face of the cliffs.
Oahu
The lure of adventure is strong, and nowhere in the world does it find greater expression than here in the Hawaiian Islands. Is hang-gliding your thing? Do you long to leap from the heights at Makapuu, and soaring high above the beach, make lazy circles for an afternoon? Perhaps you'd like the heart-pounding intensity of the big winter surf at Waimea. The beaches here offer far more than sunbathing and people watching. They're ideal for all kinds of water sports including swimming, surfing, windsurfing, boogie boarding, snorkeling and fishing. Whether you're looking for high adventure on the waves, a romantic spot to watch the sunset, or a protected swimming area for the kids, it's sure to be nearby.
The Big Island (Hawaii)
The West, or Kona, Side of the island is dry and sunny -- a nexus of activity with deep-sea fishing, quaint shops and restaurants, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, submarine underwater tours, hikes through thick rainforests, horseback riding ... If you're a high activity type, the West Side is the place for you. The Kohala Coast is Hawaii 's Golf Mecca with world-class golf courses. Just getting there is a visual adventure as you drive through vast, dramatic lava fields. If your eyes are really sharp, you might be able to spot the Kona Nightingales (donkeys) which blend into the landscape. Upcountry, the scenery changes dramatically. Waimea is home to Parker Ranch where fluorescent green pastures give way to lush valleys and a host of vibrant natural greens. On the East Side, Waipio Valley is filled with brilliant flowers and breathtaking waterfalls. Tiny towns and highways built on old railroad trestle bridges recall the sugar plantation heritage of the Hamakua Coast. And the island's "must-see" is Kilauea, the earth's most active volcano.

Circus performers, Elvis impersonator ministers, roller coasters a thousand feet in the air, National Finals Rodeo, thousands of casinos, or world class art galleries?
