Kauai: Filmmakers are lured by the mystic charm of Kauai's emerald green valleys and majestic waterfalls. Honeymooners hike its cliffs along the rugged Na Pali Coast and sun-bathe on its curvaceous beaches. Nature-lovers love its lush landscape and golfers go for its green vistas. Kauai may be quiet and small, but it has all the offerings of a garden of Eden. Without the bustle of Waikiki, the "Garden Isle" offers adventure with a view -- from panoramic helicopter rides to kayaking on Hawaii's only navigable rivers or driving to Waimea Canyon, the place Mark Twain once described as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." There's quiet drama everywhere you look.

Kauai is a place of raw beauty touched by simple elegance, a place just waiting to be discovered. The unplanned splendor of nature has dominated Kauai since it erupted 5 million years ago from the depths of the sea. All this time later, Kauai remains largely undeveloped, its rugged interior unpaved and unencumbered by man-made structures. Even in the populated coastal areas, wide stretches of open space give way to the tranquility of nature growing wild. It is this steadfast and imperfect blend of man and nature that gives Kauai its unassuming and peaceful nature.

This is a place to explore, to discover at your own pace. There are miles of dirt paths to hike, rivers to kayak, a sun-drenched ocean and golden sand beaches to explore. There's the breathtaking view from a helicopter, the sheer luxury of an elegant hotel, the emerald beauty of a taro patch shimmering in a bed of water, night skies filled with stars so close you want to touch them. Please begin your discovery of our island on the pages of this website.

Maui: Ranked Condé Nast Traveler magazine's "Best Island in the World" for eight years running, this is a place that combines scenic wonder with the sophistication of world-class resorts, superb restaurants and spectacular shopping. Here, you can take a breath-taking drive on the serpentine Hana Highway, where waterfalls spill beside many of the 617 sharp turns and 56 one-lane bridges. You can get up before daybreak and watch the sun rise above the clouds at the 10,023-foot summit of Haleakala, the world's largest dormant volcano. You can gaze out over the ocean to look for humpback whales, snorkel coral reefs, golf the same course as Tiger Woods or simply soak up the tropical sun on a white sand beach. No matter where you go on Maui, you're bound to see rainbows.

Hawaii: The Big Island: If you're set on seeing red-hot lava, this is the place to go. The main attraction is Kilauea, the largest active volcano in the world, which has been giving its most dramatic performance in years, casting an orange glow on the largest island of the chain and spewing lava hissing into the sea. But even without the help of Pele, the goddess of fire, the Big Island has other hot spots. There's the sometimes snowcapped summit of Mauna Kea, which at 28,000 feet above the ocean floor is touted as the best place on Earth for stargazing with the famous Keck Telescopes. There's night diving off the Kona Coast, where you can swim with the manta rays. Don't forget there's space for driving through the most varied landscape Hawaii has to offer - from cactus-studded grasslands to Kona coffee fields to coastal highways edged in coral.
