Islands: Barbados & Hawaii

Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.

When you visit Barbados, you will see it is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean Island quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only in Barbados.

Barbados is unique, melding English traditions and Caribbean style. Often called "Little England", the island is home to centuries old stone buildings. If not for swaying palm trees, you might be convinced you were in a London neighbourhood.

But what makes Barbados even more special, and the reason why so many visitors keep returning to the island year after year, is the people. Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to greet you with a sincere smile. Barbadians make you feel welcome and special, on this lovely Caribbean Island. You will feel it’s your home and will want to come back again and again to Barbados.

Hawaii is the newest of the 50 U.S. states, and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. Hawaii is an almost flawless destination. It’s an enchanting multicultural society with roots in Polynesia, Asia, North America and Europe.

The top attractions of Hawaii are its stunning beaches and turquoise waters. Many of the more popular beaches are lined with shops, restaurants and beach bars. From midday until late in the evening, these become a hive of activity where people from all over the globe can mingle. In season, you can sign up for whale watching excursions. On the islands, you can explore the rainforests and see brightly colored parrots and other tropical birds. Hawaii's volcanoes are impressive natural features. You can join a guided hiking tour to learn more about them.

Hawaii has a reputation for being a honeymoon destination. Indeed the beautiful sandy beaches, flowing palm trees and warm tropical weather provide the perfect romantic ambience. There are many resorts that offer special honeymoon packages. But even if you are not on honeymoon, Hawaii is a great vacation destination due to the friendliness of the locals and the cheerful atmosphere that generally surrounds the islands. On the more developed islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, there are loads of entertainment. This is great for people who want to have a fun-filled vacation. Hawaii also has some stunning natural areas. People who enjoy hiking, bird watching and exploring nature can find many activities to keep them busy on their vacations.
