Ever thought of visiting the Hawaiian Islands?
Traveling to Hawaii to experience the most tropical of the United States has become somewhat of a time-honored tradition for US citizens. The ability to access exotic tropical weather, gorgeous beaches, SCUBA diving, exquisite golf courses, remote islands, lava fields, amazing restaurants and breathtaking hikes without having to travel internationally is a hard bargain to beat no matter where you are from. For those lucky enough to live in the Western United States a trip to Hawaii is no more than a puddle jump, or a few hours flight, into one of the most popular travel locations in the United States.
Hawaii’s economy is to a large degree deeply rooted in tourism and it’s easy to see why. With such a strong allure in terms of sunny weather and exciting outdoor activities, Hawaiian vacations are on par with the splendor of the Caribbean without the hassle of international travel. While Hawaii does lend itself to exclusive or high-end tourism, the islands have a lot to offer someone traveling on a budget as well.
Traveling between the Hawaiian Islands is only accessible by flight or by the Super Ferry developed in 2007. While flights to Hawaii are traditionally viewed as expensive some of the smaller airlines offer inter-island flights for very reasonable prices. Additionally, with the price of fuel being so low traveling among the Hawaiian Islands can be done for much cheaper than you might actually think. You can also take cruises to Hawaii, which sail among several of the more popular Hawaiian Islands giving tourists a taste of Hawaii’s many island flavors. Check out some of the excellent cruise and vacation packages (including airfare and hotel stay) available online now, and you’ll be island-side in no time!
