Discover the Aloha state
Unforgettable landscapes, unique culture, diverse cuisine - Hawaii is a once in a lifetime destination. Whether for your upcoming travels or as inspiration for a future trip – inspired by our Drop Aloha State, we give you lots of tips on what you shouldn't miss on a trip to Hawaii.
About Hawaii
Hawaii is an island state consisting of 132 islands. Eight of these are considered the main volcanic islands, six of which are accessible to tourists. The islands are a six-hour flight from the American mainland.
Travel time
Hawaii is a year-round destination due to its tropical temperatures. Between May and October there is very little rain and the temperatures are summery, making these months particularly suitable for a visit.
The Aloha Islands
Whether you want to go island hopping or take an extended beach vacation on one of the islands - each of them is worth a trip. We introduce you to the six main islands in detail:
O’AHU
Sometimes called the "Gathering Place" - because the third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii's population. The fusion of eastern and western cultures, the contrast between tradition and modernity is what makes O'ahu so exciting. Be sure to visit the Polynesian Culture Center - including a show and dinner, to immerse yourself in the culture and history, the Dole Pineapple Plantation and the North Shore, where the renowned surfing competitions take place.

HAWAI´I ISLAND
The youngest and largest island in the chain - it is almost twice the size of the other islands combined and is therefore also known as the "Big Island". Due to the different climate zones and volcanoes, the spectrum ranges from tropical humidity to icy tundra. Must-sees are the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, the Hamakua Coast with its tropical rainforests, breathtaking waterfalls and green valleys and Punaluu Beach with its pitch-black beaches.

KAUAI
The fourth largest island of Hawaii, also known as the "Garden Island". It is also the oldest and most northerly of the islands - characterized by emerald valleys, pointed mountain peaks and rugged cliffs. The numerous outdoor activities here are a must, such as kayaking on the Wailua River, snorkeling at Poʻipū Beach, hiking through Kōkeʻe State Park or ziplining over Kauaʻi's lush valleys.

MAUI
Is also known as the "Island of Valleys" and is the second largest Hawaiian island. With world-famous beaches such as the sacred Iao Valley, the opportunity to watch humpback whales (especially in the winter months), excellent farm-to-table cuisine and magnificent sunrises and sunsets on Haleakala.

MOLOKAI
Hawaii's fifth largest island, 60 km long and 16 km wide, with the world's highest sea cliffs and the state's longest continuous fringing reef. As the majority of the island's inhabitants are descended from Native Hawaiians and live a rural lifestyle, the island has retained its original character. We recommend a guided hike along the cliffs to Kalaupapa National Historical Park or relaxing on Papohaku Beach, one of the longest white sandy beaches in Hawaii.

LANAI
The smallest inhabited island in Hawaii. Only 15 km from Maui and yet very different, on the one hand with luxury resorts and golf courses, on the other - if you take the bumpy drive inland by off-road vehicle - a place that stands for tranquillity and remoteness away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
