Honolulu is the home of almost one million people, a figure that represents 80% of Hawaii's total population. It is perfectly located on serene Mamala Bay. Diamond Head Crater and the cliffs at the extreme southern end of Waikiki give natural shelter to the harbor, The name Honolulu is derived from its geography. Hono means "bay" and lulu is "sheltered" in the Hawaiian language.

Known as the "Garden Island", Kauai is the oldest inhabited island of the seven major islands of the Hawaiian Archipelago. After approximately seven million years, nature has had plenty of time to sculpt this island into a real beauty with lush flora, dramatic canyons, and spectacular beaches. Hollywood has come to Kauai to film "paradise" many times. Deep-cut green cliffs are breathtaking backdrops for perfect sandy beaches and waterfalls on the northeastern Na Pali Coast.
