Sightseeing on Kauai may be the best in Hawaii

Kauai provides perhaps the most exotic Hawaii sightseeing location for tours. Kauai is the oldest of all the Hawaiian Islands and nature has had much more time to carve and chisel this island through the process of wind, rain and ocean erosion than any other island. These factors along with the fact that Kauai is the wettest spot on Earth have made Kauai a true "Garden of Eden" and it is generally considered the most picturesque of all the Hawaiian Islands. The three main categories of tours in Hawaii on the island of Kauai that you should considerer for sightseeing are a snorkeling tour or dinner cruise along its famous Na Pali Coast, a sightseeing or kayaking tour up one of its gorgeous and tranquil rivers and an aerial tour, either by helicopter or sightseeing airplane to view this amazing island from above. The island is small but it’s sightseeing opportunities are many, and visits to the Waimea Canyon, the picturesque town of Hanalei, the Waimea River, the Kilauea Lighthouse and the Na Pali Coastline should head the list of any sightseeing agenda on Kauai.

Maui Sightseeing Includes the Islands of Molokai and Lanai

Maui County, consisting of the three islands of Maui, Lanai and Molokai offers numerous options for tours in Hawaii. The list of Hawaii sightseeing options on these islands goes on and on. Must see points of interest would be Father Damien's Leper Colony on Molokai, the spectacular Hana Coastline and a visit to the Oheo Gulch, Haleakala Crater, the historic town of Lahaina, the resort areas of Kaanapali and Wailea, the snorkeling "Mecca" of Molokini, the Iao Valley and a handful of its famous beaches. Aside from sightseeing locations Maui also holds the record as being the island with the very largest list of categories of activities to enjoy and its "laid back" ambiance makes Maui a great choice to enjoy your tours and activities.

The Big Island of Hawaii is actually the most interesting of all for many people because this is where you will find the live volcanoes in Hawaii. Obviously sightseeing tours to the volcanoes will lead the list of exciting tours in Hawaii on the Big Island. This island is still in the process of being created and it is unlikely that you will ever have the opportunity to witness nature's creation with such ease and availability as on the Big Island. Many Hawaii sightseeing tours are available for you to take to see by van or bus but also by hiking, by sightseeing boat or even on bicycle but don't omit a chance to see this magic spectacle from the air. The "hot spot" areas of the volcano rift zone are too remote and too dangerous to be visited any other way than by air and a helicopter or sightseeing airplane over-flight is the ideal way to visit these incredible areas.
