The moment you step on any one of the six islands that make up the state of Hawaii, the weight of the world simply melts away. Breath deep and a warm and welcoming spirit takes over, which has way more to do with the culture, people, and way of life than the lei strung around your neck. Collectively known for beautiful beaches, rainforests, active volcanoes, big waves, ono grinds, and laid-back lifestyle, each of the islands — Hawaii, or the Big Island, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Lanai, and Molokai — offer different experiences, whether it’s outdoor adventure or total relaxation.
