You may discover that you&#8217;d like to visit all of them.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Choose a Hawaiian Island to Visit?<\/h2>\n<p>Before you <a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book your vacation with your Travel Planners International travel agent<\/a>, use this mini guide to help you determine which Hawaiian Island(s) you may want to visit. Bon voyage!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maui<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maui is known as the \u201cValley Isle.\u201d Artist communities, charming towns and local favorites have been here for generations. Go to Wailku and you can buy deserts and pastries from \u201cmom and pop\u201d type of bakeries. Those who eat organic can head to Lahaina to get a bite of Maui&#8217;s farm to table foods. Beach lovers can relax while basking in the sun or snorkeling calm coves or riding the waves. If hiking is your thing, you&#8217;ll love the trails, from a bamboo forest to high ridgetops. Maui has been voted \u201cBest Island\u201d by readers of Conde Nast Traveler for 19 years. It&#8217;s easy to see why. There&#8217;s something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>O&#8217;ahu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit crowded and you may bump into people on the sidewalks and public transportation (if you don&#8217;t rent a car). But the miles of beaches, forest trails, and cuisine are worth it. Surfing was born in Waikiki, so it&#8217;s the perfect spot to catch a wave or two or learn how to surf. Put on your hiking boots and hike one of the thirty-five trails. Tantalize your palate with foods from top Hawaiian chefs or one of the many food trucks. You may want to check out the scene in Chinatown or immerse yourself in the history at Iolani Palace. Visit O&#8217;ahu and you&#8217;ll see how the East and West have come together with Hawaiian traditions to create a unique experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hawaii Island<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Island of Hawaii is referred to as the \u201cBig Island,\u201d so it doesn&#8217;t confuse visitors with the name of the state. It&#8217;s twice as big as the other islands and offers you an awe-inspiring vacation. A visit to the green rainforests of the Hamakua Coast will quench your thirst for nature. The jet-black sands of Punaluu Beach will dazzle you. See the molten magma flow from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You may also want to go horseback riding in Waimea. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lana&#8217;i<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The isolated feel of Lana\u02bbi is perfect if you want to kick back and relax and get away from the rest of the world. Stay at one of the two Four Season Resorts. Or for an \u2018old plantation charm&#8217; experience, stay at Hotel Lanai in Lanai City. Bask in the sun on Hulupo&#8217;e Beach or snorkel. Or take a day trip to Maui and Molokai [Lana&#8217;i, Maui and Molokai are known as \u201cThe Magic Isles.\u201d].<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__inner\"><h2 class=\"post-cta-roar__headline\">5,800+ Rockstars Have Partnered With Us<\/h2><p class=\"post-cta-roar__paragraph\">Determine which path is right for you<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar__buttons\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=16967\" title=\"New to Biz Page\" class=\"btn--primary btn--post-cta-roar js-new-button\"><span>I'm a New Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=140\" title=\"Experienced Agents Page\" class=\"btn--secondary btn--post-cta-roar js-experienced-button\"><span>I'm An Experienced Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Moloka&#8217;i<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preservation of culture and land are at the heart of Moloka&#8217;i.
