Hawaii's Absolute Must-Sees

Hawaii’s diverse geography encompasses the volcanic Haleakalā Crater on Maui and the volcanic black sands of Punaluʻu on the Big Island. Historical landmarks include the Byodo-In Temple, a replica of a Kyoto UNESCO site, and the USS Bowfin, a WWII-era submarine at Pearl Harbor. Natural sites range from the 4,000-acre Kualoa Ranch, a filming location for numerous films, to the white sands of Lanikai Beach and the dramatic cliffs of Kauai’s Kalalau Lookout.

Hawaii's Best Beaches

This selection of Hawaiian coastal sites features diverse geological formations, from the volcanic black basalt sands of Punalu’u to the limestone-filtered white sands of Lanikai. The list includes Maui’s Ho'okipa Park, a global center for windsurfing due to its consistent trade winds, and Kauai’s Kalalau Beach, reachable only via the Na Pali Coast’s 11-mile wilderness trail. These destinations represent varied marine environments, including protected coves on Oahu’s North Shore and the deep-sand, crescent-shaped beaches of South Maui.

Astronomy Observatories

Situated near the 4,207-meter summit of Mauna Kea, these world-class facilities represent a global hub for space exploration. The collection includes the twin 10-meter Keck telescopes, the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope, and specialized instruments like the James Clerk Maxwell submillimeter radio telescope. These sites benefit from Hawaii’s high altitude and stable atmosphere, allowing researchers to study everything from distant galaxies to near-earth asteroids. While most summit facilities are restricted to research personnel, the area remains a critical site for groundbreaking discoveries in infrared, submillimeter, and optical astronomy.
