 Other Photo albums

Hawaii’s diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches, oceanic surroundings, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, (wind)surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. There are six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii Island. You'll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own adventures, activities and sights. “The fresh, floral air energizes you. The warm, tranquil waters refresh you. The breathtaking, natural beauty renews you. Look around. There’s no place on earth like Hawaii!”  More information here and here.

Sunrise at Haleakala (3055m), Maui.

One of Maui’s most memorable experiences is seeing the Haleakala sunrise or sunset from 10023 feet (3055m) above sea level. It’s an early wake-up call, but the reward is well worth it. The colour of the sky and clouds before daybreak are stunning!
