Wondering which Hawaii Island to visit on your vacation?
This certainly is a dilemma. When my husband and I were planning our first trip to Hawaii I read two travel guides from cover to cover. Each island sounded so beautiful I wanted to visit them all!
On our first visit, Jeff and I each packed a camera, 6 rolls of film, and 3 disposable underwater cameras. We used all that film and went shopping for more. Yes, Hawaii is truly spectacular!
We marveled at and photographed the lush tropical vegetation and waterfalls, gorgeous beaches, amazing lava flows, striking sunsets, and lots and lots of beautiful sea life.

OK enough about us.
What about you? Which island should you visit? The answer is simple; you should visit them all! The better question to ask is “which island should you visit first?”
To answer that question, dive deeper into this site to see which island tickles your fancy.
For a chance to catch a glimpse of molten lava, the Ironman Triathlon, and some awesome snorkeling choose the Big Island.
For white crescent shaped beaches, the scenic road to Hana, good snorkeling, and a chance to bicycle down a very tall volcano (Haleakala) after watching an amazing sunrise choose Maui.
For incredible waterfalls, lush vegetation, awesome landscape colors, and Puff the Magic Dragon choose Kauai.
