Must-see locations

Hawaii: Travel to the Heart of an Exotic American Paradise

It is a Polynesian archipelago consisting of 8 main islands and about a hundred islets. Six of them can be visited, while the others are private or uninhabited. Each one has its unique identity. Oahu, the most well-known, offers the urban madness of the very American Honolulu but also the easy-going lifestyle of Haleiwa, the surfers' capital, not to mention Pearl Harbor. As for Maui, the "valley island," between its dormant volcano and its enchanting Hana highway, it is an open-air tropical garden. The magnificent island of Hawaii, the largest of all, combines the highest peak in the Pacific and one of the most active volcanoes in the world. More peaceful, Kauai, "the garden island," is a festival of colors where the emerald of the Napali Coast meets the ocher of Waimea Canyon, a breathtaking landscape. Lanai, the charming, and Molokai, the authentic, smaller in size, remain must-see wild pearls.

An Unforgettable Tropical Escape

After nearly 20 hours of flight from Paris, in the heart of the North Pacific, lies Hawaii, the 50th state of the United States. Embark on a trip to Hawaii to discover this little piece of American paradise.

The Must-Sees of Hawaii

Waikiki is undoubtedly the most lively and exhilarating part of Honolulu and Oahu. Surfing, boogie-boarding, kayaking, nightclubs, shopping centers, a variety of restaurants, walks, open markets, hula shows, or sunsets on the beach... Practically all possible activities in Hawaii can be experienced in Waikiki! Stretching from the Diamond Head crater in the east to the Ala Wai river in the west, Waikiki is lined with coconut trees and beautiful beaches with turquoise waters that enchant tourists from around the world. On December 7, 1941, a surprise Japanese attack was launched against the American naval base at Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu. This shock to the United States hastened America's entry into World War II. A memorial has been installed nearby to pay tribute to the sailors, who were on average 20 years old. A poignant and fascinating visit, ideal for history enthusiasts or the curious. In Kauai, discover the Waimea Canyon. In this national park, the view of the reddish mountains is one of the most sublime on the island. Nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, it reaches 1105 meters deep and 19 kilometers long. It can be explored by car, during hikes, or by helicopter tour.

Discover Hawaii in a Different Way

Watching the sunrise over Haleakala is an unforgettable experience. Haleakala, "house of the sun" in Hawaiian, is a dormant volcano that spans two-thirds of Maui. Its lunar and colorful landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful. This exceptional site is a must-see in Maui and the Hawaiian archipelago. Flying over Kauai by helicopter offers an unobstructed view of this "garden island" with its lush vegetation, tropical forests, and waterfalls. Its rugged coastline, the Na Pali Coast, with its white sandy beaches, was used as a backdrop for Jurassic Park. A helicopter flight is an ideal idea for special occasions. Molokai, less touristy, retains the charm of old Hawaii. The Hawaiian culture is vibrant there, and the landscapes are wild and paradisiacal. Hikers will enjoy the Kalaupapa Peninsula trail.
