This outlying island can be reached by kayak, though it is not for the faint of heart. Because of its beautiful reefs and diverse fish population, it is also a popular place to go snorkeling or scuba diving.

 

Wherever you go, be sure to respect the abundant wildlife of the islands. Hawai’i is a beautiful, natural paradise that also has several lively cities, and both aspects of the islands should be treated with the utmost respect.
