The Hawaiian Islands, once known as the Sandwich Islands, form an archipelago of nineteen islands and atolls, numerous smaller islets, and undersea seamounts. The archipelago takes its name from the largest island in the group and extends some 2,400 kilometres from the Island of Hawaii in the south to northernmost Kure Atoll. There are primarily six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii’s Big island. You’ll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own adventures, activities, and sightseeing opportunities. Hawaii is home of the world’s most active volcano and the world’s tallest sea mountain; it's the birthplace of surfing and the hula. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state in the U.S.
