Hawaii - The Aloha State
As the 50th state, this archipelago in the Pacific Ocean
was annexed to the USA in 1959 and is the dream vacation
destination for the Americans. The Aloha state, whose
Polynesian name means home, lives from tourism and pineapple
cultivation. Hawaii has over 900,000 residents. Captain
James Cook was the first European to discover the Hawaiian
Islands in 1778. The first mission stations were founded in
1820 and annexed by the United States in 1898. The capital
is Honolulu and is located on the island of Oahu. Check collegetoppicks for engineering schools in Hawaii.
The first settlers
The first wave of colonization probably occurred from
Polynesians between AD 400 and 650. They came from the
Marquesas Islands, 4,000 km away. In the 11th century,
Polynesian immigrants made their way to Hawaii from the
island of Tahiti, about 5,000 miles away, to oust the first
settlers. They had double hull sailing boats made from
hollowed out trunks and sealed with resin. The trunks, which
were only connected with coconut fibers and were used as
sails for large palm leaves, could accommodate up to 100
people.
The archipelago was first discovered by the Europeans in
1778 by Captain James Cook. The discovery was pure
coincidence, because he actually wanted to find a cheap
shipping route between Alaska and Siberia with his ships.
The Hawaiian Islands
The 8 main islands Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai,
Kahoolawe, Maui and Hawaii (also called Big Island) are each
a scenic gem in their own right.
Hawaii (main island)
Big Island, the other name for the main island, is the
largest of all Hawaii or Sandwich Islands with an area of
10,450 kmē. The landscape is very diverse, it consists of
lava deserts, rainforests and huge cattle pastures. In
addition to livestock farming, coffee and sugar cane are
mainly grown. The capital is Hilo. The Mauna Kea with 4205 m
and the Mauna Loa with 4169 m are the highest peaks of the
islands. The island is of volcanic origin, as evidenced by
the still active volcanoes.
Kauai
This island is only 1433 kmē in size and has an
overwhelming variety of landscape forms and is therefore
also called "The Garden Island". Kauai has approximately
51,000 residents who live mainly in and around Lihue, the
only city on the island. Mainly sugar cane and tropical
fruits are grown. The north of the island is mainly rural
and the west coast is almost uninhabited. Dense, green,
tropical rainforests on the mountain slopes and a colorful
floral display are predominant here. Tourism is not as
developed here as it is on Oahu.
Maui
Maui is 1885 kmē and is the second largest island.
However, fewer people live here than on the Big Island and
Oahu (approx. 88,000 residents). Maui consists of two
large volcanic massifs with narrow and steep valleys. Exotic
fruits, sugar cane, pineapple and vegetables are grown there
and on the gently rising valleys. Because of the very
fertile soil, large sugar cane and pineapple plantations
were created on Maui. In addition to Oahu, Maui is visited
by most tourists.
Niihau
Niihau is only a 180 kmē island, which, with Lake Halulu,
is the largest lake in the entire archipelago. Otherwise,
Niihau is still an island largely undeveloped by tourism.
Oahu
With 1575 kmē, Oahu is the third largest island in the
Hawaii Islands. Honolulu is the largest city in the state of
Hawaii (approx. 830,000 residents). In terms of landscape,
Oahu is an island of contrasts: in the south the densely
built-up Honolulu with the hotel skyscrapers of Waikiki,
while in the north there are rainforests, bananas and sugar
cane plantations, rocky coastlines and bathing beaches. Two
mountain ranges of volcanic origin, the Koolaus in the east
and the Waianae Mountains in the west, stretch from north to
south over the entire island. In between there is a wide
fertile plain.
Molokai
Molokai, the sparsely populated approx. 673 kmē island is
still very rural. You won't find high-rise buildings here.
The tropical, densely overgrown island with the beautiful
beaches is a paradise for vacationers who are looking for
peace and quiet. Mass tourism is not promoted here. That is
why there are few hotels here, including only one luxury
hotel. The local population lives largely from agriculture
(melons, vegetables). The Molokaʻi Forest Reserve is ideal
for hiking. There you can explore Mt. Kamakou, which is over
1500 m high, or the 75 m high Moaula Falls. A 4x4 ride is
also possible. The beaches offer the possibility for all
kinds of activities such as diving, swimming, surfing etc.

Anyone who loves the beach and nature cannot miss
Hawaii. The state consists of islands, which are quite
different from each other. There are 19 islands and atolls
(formations in the middle of the ocean), the best known
being Oahu, where the capital is Holonunu. One of the
postcards there is Hanauma Bay, a beach that has a different
concept, as it is formed by an ancient volcanic crater and
home to an incredible variety of marine life.
The friendly greeting 'Aloha' was made the epithet of the
state. Hawaii is an island chain and the 50th state in the
United States. Above all, the state is known for its
friendly people and a relaxed life. Miles of beaches,
world-class surfing areas, volcanoes, and much more. The
capital Honolulu and Maui in particular are very well known
cities here.
The archipelago stretches almost two and a half thousand
kilometers in length and Iceland 'hopping' is the fastest
way to fly. The islands that are open to tourism are called
Maui, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, Lanai and Hawaii alias "Big
Island". The different cultures, which have merged from the
Polynesian and the Asian, shape the image of the Hawaii
Islands. |
