For some of the best views on the island， vis-it Waimea Canyon， known as the Grand Canyonof the Pacific， and the Na Pali coast， boastingsome of the world’s highest sea cliffs.

计划去夏威夷旅行最难的部分之一就是决定你应该去夏威夷的哪个主要岛屿。

每个岛都有自己的特点，都会提供独特的冒险和活动。

瓦胡岛什么都有，占地 597 平方英里。你可以徒步进入茂密的雨林，当你需要休息的时候，可以在粉白的沙滩上放松，住在豪华度假村。

2. 毛伊岛

毛伊岛是度蜜月的好地方。毛伊岛又称山谷之岛，它拥有一流的度假村和高尔夫球场，毗邻夏威夷最好的海滩。

东毛伊岛上有一座大型休眠火山，在那里看日出和日落是一次宁静的体验，驾车在哈纳公路上奔驰也是如此，哈纳公路以其沿途雷鸣般的瀑布而闻名。

3. 考艾岛

考艾岛是夏威夷主要岛屿中最古老的岛屿。岛上雨水频繁，但正因如此，岛上才变得如此生机勃勃，在那里你会遇到从未见过的花草。
