Enjoy Your Visit to the Hawaiian Islands

By Nora Seabolt


sparkling blue waters of Hawaii draw people from across the globe. The wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean captures the imagination and provides a number of water sports.Whether a person is a guest at or participating in a luau, the tradition creates a memorable experience.

At home it is a challenge to find all the spit roast parts so that an ordinary hunk of meat can be prepared for an outdoor meal. The traditional luau pit where the pork is cooked with banana leaves, river rocks and water for steam involves a search for other supplies. The benefit is that someone else has to do it.

A visit to Hawaii also provides the chance to see a lava flow from an active volcano Watching the live action of a volcano provides a better understanding of nature.Visiting family or friends on any of the islands of Hawaii is an additional reason for travel. Even standard fare is fun when you select a vacation package plan that covers everything from the lei to the luau.The singular beauty of each island is reason enough to visit Hawaii and stay awhile. Travelers will find people of all nations visiting any one of this chain of islands to relax and enjoy the tropical sunshine.

The distance between each island demands a method of travel by water or air. Most airlines provide service only to the beautiful, but busy, Honolulu International Airport in Oahu. Booking early provides more time to determine your preferred itinerary.It is advised if a person wants to travel over the holidays, during peak season or for a sports event like the Aloha Bowl. Become as one with your camera, because there are always scenic moments to record. The advantage of tourists is they will record your special snorkeling experience.

After a long day of sightseeing and swimming in the clear ocean waters, stop by the Farmers Market in Maui for some fresh fruit. Having fresh fruit for lunch will help save room for the delicious food served at the upcoming luau. The deep sound as the conch shell is blown to signify the start of the festivities heightens the anticipation of good food, entertainment and companionship.The method of cooking the meat differs from a standard barbecue and there is no spit roast motor to worry about. After the pig has finished cooking, the luau hosts must be certain there are enough people to raise it from the pit.

Package tours typically include two island visits, with Oahu a constant stop. High mountains and lush vegetation mark the beauty of the Big Island.Arrange a coffee plantation tour when you visit Kona.The adventures are so inviting that visitors typically start planning a return trip before the first one is over.

Definitely take time while in Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor and the scene of sunken ships. Citizens of many countries lost friends and relatives on that fateful December day.Afterwards, ease your mind by traveling to Hanauma Bay and participating in a snorkeling expedition. The brilliant colors of the unique ocean plants and fish define the tropics. Finish the day with yet another luau as a special way to conclude your adventures in the 50th State.
