The Hawaiian archipelago

Itinéraires conseillés Hawaii

Located about 3900 miles from San Francisco, the Hawaiian archipelago consists of 122 islands. These are the world's most isolated islands. 5 hours flight from the West Coast US (6:00 Seattle). 8:00 Japan. 3:00 Midway. Only six of them are equipped to receive tourists. Of those lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean confetti, known Honolulu, the capital, and his shots at his ukulele, but contrasts between Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, the "Big Island" and Maui! 

Their common: several volcanoes, some of which still come sometimes active. The Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, for example, is a kind of drive-in for volcanologists! We arrive at the edge of the main crater by car and we come full circle. Except rash, always spectacular, which happens regularly: huge red plume, rumbling lava bombs exploding ... A glimpse of hell. 

The islands are close but their beauty and diversity invites to linger. In our view, difficult to have a good look in less than two weeks. 

One week: bet on the classics, O'ahu and the Big Island, just to sunbathe, surf, and see the volcano up close. 

Two weeks: that which leaves you time to also explore the beautiful valleys of Kaua'i and Hale'a'kala Crater on Maui. And, perhaps, to offer a hike of 2 or 3 days if the mood takes you. 

Three weeks is what it takes to pass reasonably review the available six islands of the archipelago. But you might as well stay six months and have still not want to leave ...
