Hawaii

Hawaii, an enchanting collection of islands that emerges directly from the heart of the ocean, is much more than just a tourist attraction. It is a feast for the eyes, a colorful fabric of culture, and a kingdom of the arts as well as a kingdom of the forests. Let’s delve deeper into the reasons why Hawaii continues to enthrall travelers worldwide A Symphony of Natural Wonders The geography of Hawaii is very appealing to photography enthusiasts. It has steep volcanic cones some still emit red-hot lava and rise majestically into the clear blue sky. Tropical forests, rich in endemic plants and animals, cover the slopes of the volcanoes, and one can see the world that remains untouched by people. Crystal-clear rivers flow in green gorges and waterfalls, white, black, red or even pink sandy beaches line the blue sea. Apart from the land, the sea is filled with all sorts of living creatures. Stunning coral and colorful fish for snorkeling and diving while humpback whales are sighted during winter months. Whether you want to climb an ancient volcano peak, simply enjoy the solitude of an isolated beach or scuba dive in a coral reef, Hawaii has something for every explorer. A Cultural Tapestry Steeped in Tradition The Hawaiian people are just as colorful as the islands themselves. The beautiful hula dance, a combination of movement and spoken word that tells a story, reflects the essence of the islands. The sweet scent of the plumeria flower is used to make pretty leis which are given to signify love and hospitality. The culture is characterized by the aptly named “Aloha spirit,” which comprises respect for others, humility, and stewardship of the island. Experience the culture by going to a luau, which is a style celebration that will include Polynesia music, dancing and food. Pick up a few words of the Hawaiian language to maintain conversations with the people and feel the genuine Hawaiian welcome. A Culinary Journey for the Adventurous Palate Hawaiian food is exotic and diverse and that’s because the Hawaiian culture is one of the most diverse. Enjoy the tender and scrumptious poke, a seafood salad that is usually garnished with seaweed and chili peppers. Taste the juicy and meaty kalua pig that is cooked traditionally in an underground oven called imu. The pineapple is a symbol of Hawaii’s hospitality and sunshine so make sure you grab a taste before you leave. Following Hollywood’s Footsteps Hawaii, with its dramatic terrains and perfect beaches, has provided settings for many Hollywood movies, thus cementing the idea of Hawaii as a true paradise. Just picture yourself strolling on the white sandy beaches in ‘Blue Hawaii’ (1961) or exploring the jungles of Kauai transformed into the monstrous Jurassic era in ‘Jurassic Park’ (2016). The animated feature “Moana” released by Disney in 2016 was based upon and drew its setting and stunning visuals from the mysteries of the Hawaiian Islands, rekindling a fascination with these enchanted lands in a new generation.
