How to island jump in Hawaii?
Aloha!
A heart-warming sound of “Aloha!” is likely to be the first word Luxe Travel Insiders hear off the plane to Hawaii. More than “Hi” and “Goodbye”, it is a word that entails the meaning of “love” , “acceptance” and “welcome”. Regardless of one’s ethnic heritage, the aloha spirit is a way of life in this merry island – to promote love and harmony.
There are 6 major islands to explore: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii Island. Luxe Travel Insiders'll find that each island has its own distinct personality and offers unique adventurous experience such as the venture to live volcanoes or swimming with Manta ray or giant turtle.
