Unique Experiences You Can Only Have in Hawai‘i

The Hawaiian Islands are brimming with natural beauty, rich history and unforgettable adventures. Here are several must-see destinations and one-of-a-kind experiences your clients can explore:

Kaua‘i
Clients can behold the breathtaking landscapes of Waimea Canyon State Park and Kōke‘e State Park, where the canyon’s dramatic gorge sweeps against the verdant forests of Kōke‘e. Also suggest a visit to the Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge (reservations required), where they may see native seabirds, the endemic nēnē (Hawaiian goose) and perhaps catch a glimpse of humpback whales in December through April.

Oʻahu
Clients can visit ʻIolani Palace, the only royal residence in the U.S., and enjoy  an audio, docent or specialty tour to discover the global reach and legacy left by the last reigning ali‘i (monarchs) of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Through four attractions at the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites, they’ll learn about Imperial Japan’s historic attack and the subsequent events that changed America’s course. The exhibit, “Pathway to Peace: USS Missouri’s World War II Experience,” opens September 2, 2025, at the Battleship Missouri Memorial and commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Pacific War surrender and end of WWII.  

Maui
At Haleakalā National Park, suggest clients catch the unmatched sunset as night arrives through an epic display of hues and shadows—the moon and stars light the sky, unclouded by city lights. Winter months on Maui offer humpback whale sightings in the waters of the west side’s ‘Auʻau Channel, with views of Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi. Clients can witness the magnificent mammals breaching and frolicking offshore on whale-watching charter boats or from land along the West Maui coastline, including the Kāʻanapali, Nāpili and Kapalua resort areas.

Hawai‘i Island
Visitors to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park are treated to the unmatched experience of exploring the contrasting environments, landscapes and Earth-shaping geological forces of two of the world’s most active volcanoes, 13,679-foot Maunaloa and 4,009-foot Kīlauea. They can also take in the unique history and natural wonders of the island’s other National Park Service sites, including Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, Pu‘ukoholā Heiau National Historic Site and Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park.
