Post date: Oct 13, 2017 5:49:9 AM

Hawaii is a volcanic, archipelagic paradise, the only U.S. state outside of North America. It goes without saying that a visit to Hawaii is a refreshing, almost-otherworldly experience for most visitors. Here are some of the top locations to greet newcomers a resounding aloha to the tropical island.

Pearl Harbor

The historical relevance of Pearl Harbor in World War II cannot be downplayed, and a visit to the famed site of the Japanese attack will take tourists to the USS Arizona Memorial, where parts of the doomed ship can be seen jutting out of the water.

Mauna Kea

Mauna Kea is the highest mountain in the island state. For those missing the ice, mild snowfall occurs here during the winter months, allowing for an interesting skiing experience in the tropics. While there, visitors shouldn’t miss dropping by the Mauna Kea Observatory.

Waikiki

Few beaches in the U.S. can rival the grandeur of Waikiki, making it Hawaii’s top tourist attraction. Aside from the awesome sunsets, the crescent-shaped, oceanfront haven also offers a view of Diamond Head Crater, an extinct volcano which sits at the end of the beach stretch.

Volcanoes National Park

For those seeking to experience the full power of Mother Nature, a visit to this park on the state’s Big Island is a must. Tourists can espy an actual, active volcano spewing forth seething lava on the mountainside.
