\u00a0<\/h3>\nAbout Hawaii<\/span><\/h3>\nHawaii or \u201cThe Aloha State\u201d is known around the world for beautiful oceans, abundant natural resources, rich culture, hula dancing, surfing in clear blue waters, and a diverse international population. Located approximately 2,000 miles west of California and the contiguous United States, this remote\u00a0island chain is perfect for tourists seeking a relaxing escape from their everyday lives. The enchantment that the eight islands of this volcanic archipelago possess is what makes the 50th<\/sup> state a favorite vacation destination.<\/p>\nWith volcanoes, jungles, coral reefs, waterfalls, more than 1,800 species of flowering plants, 680 species of fish, and an abundance of wildlife, the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, Niihau, and Hawaii (known as the Big Island) allow visitors to have adventures and explore to their heart\u2019s content. Even visitors who aren\u2019t that enthralled by nature have a plethora of restaurants, shopping centers, and activities to enjoy. Some options include visiting the memorial at Pearl Harbor, watching a surfing competition on the North Shore of Oahu, attending a luau, visiting the Dole Pineapple Plantation, taking a sunset helicopter tour, learning some history at the Polynesian Cultural Center, or simply sipping Mai-Tai’s by the pool. It’s no wonder that many new residents of Hawaii started as tourists.<\/p>\n
