The island of Hawaii from NI ' ihau



Not all the Hawaiian Islands were too westernized as also others. Most people say that Oahu is by far the most marketed Islands and Molokai is the least. They are partly right. The little known island of NI ' ihau is actually the less modernized and the less populated of the Islands. Neither ' ihau is located less than twenty kilometres from the island of Lanai. This is a private island not open to tourism. Thus, the island has earned the name the island prohibits. Neither ' ihau is the only island where the predominant language is always Hawaiian. There is a school here running grades K-12 and the lessons are taught in Hawaiian.




English is presented as a second language. The entire island is owned by ranch NI ' ihau, which belong to the Robinson family. The Robinsons provide food, clothing, housing, education and just something people need.There is no widespread power ici.Ne expect to find the cell for your phone service is.




Neither ' ihau is the smallest inhabited Hawaiian island; it is about 70 square kilometres. The island economy depends on agriculture, but that has not been very successful for over thirty years.The Robinson family focused on Government for support in exchange for allowing military exercises and mock pratique.Les Robinsons operations do not visitors on the island. In fact if a resident married someone of the island of Hawaii yet another, they will not be invited in the community.




Neither ' ihau is such a closed community that there is really no way to visit the island. The Robinsons, however allowed a small window of opportunity to peak on the island.One is a helicopter tour, but don't expect it to be included in the category of the budget of a book of tourisme.Le driver will steal the visitors to a location on the beach of the island. Here, they will have the opportunity to go snorkelling and lunch is provided. When leaving the island, the pilot will fly over most uninhabited parts of the island.




The second opportunity to see the island is to go on a Nihau Safari.Encore once, don't expect it to be cheap. Everything that is necessary to hunt for boars Polynesian and sheep will be provided to you. There are also visits snorkelling and diving on the island of NI ' ihau. Most of these tours depart from Kauai and you come ashore during your excursion.




There is a supply boat that runs from Lanai to NI ' ihau once a week.The boat runs on Kaumakani, which is the seat of the farm NI ' ihau.There is also a former residents who prefer to live in Lanai regulation.Residents of NI ' ihau are free to go to Lanai, and store and really do what they want.




There are approximately 250 residents of the island, most of them live in Pu ' uwai, meaning the heart to Hawaii.Le village is located on the West coast of the Chamber île.Chaque is surrounded by a wall of Pierre away wildlife voisine.La life here is enough basique.Ils still perceive their water and they have no indoor plumbing.

Hi-Lo Hattie is the big souvenir shop. Unlike the, his name indicates it is not strictly located in Hi-Lo. This is a large chain store which has several locations on almost all the Islands. Hattie Hi-Lo is famous for all different types of memories, but their romantic glory is, of course, the Hawaiian shirt. Each tourist needs a Hawaiian shirt.

You can find hula plastic cheap lamps for as little as approximately thirty dollars; and hand crafted more classy (if such creation) lamp hula can be as many as two hundred dollars.




Perhaps the goofiest, in my opinion, memory is a living real coconut. You can actually send a real Coco return the continental United States. Generally, it costs approximately thirty bucks.I say save your money, I would have rather the Council tiret.Noix coconut hula dancer is not only living things that are often shipped in Hawaii as souvenirs. Direct Lei industry is very profitable for Hawaii. You can have a flower fresh lei returned to grandmother to accompany these macadamia nuts.




Tiki statues are another souvenir Hawaiian populaire.Légendes Hawaiian tell the old, which carried a Tiki statue with them experienced, immediate execution of good fortune.

Hawaiian Luau



No vacation Hawaii would complete without participating in a luau. The word luau means really just a party or a party. Generally, in the ancient culture of Hawaiian luaus were given to celebrate the birth of a child or a marriage. These days the word luau became everywhere household name in the United States. When we think a luau today, we believe in these establishes cheap plastic and these silly tiki plastic cups. Oh, but a luau is so much more. In Hawaii, there are two types of luau basis. The first type resembles closely that of the original type of luau. It is a private friends rally and your family for a celebration.




The second type of luau is a commercial luau opened to the public and tourists visiting us in General. While in the State of Hawaii, there will be many different luaus to choose. They are basically all the same, with a few high points. Arrival guests are welcomed with a leu fresh flowers. Entertainment is typically choreographed and higher notch with hula and big fire dancers. Sometimes guests provide their own entertainment. It is always fun to watch grown men wear hula skirts and try to learn this complicated dance. There are various options for food and drink for example.Personally, I prefer the open type bar.La food is usually a buffet consisting of a roast pork or perhaps a kind of beef, rice, and of course staple it of Hawaii... pineapple.




It should mention some of the best known luaus and those who have the best reputation. In Maui, old Luau Lahaina is not to be missed. This is the most authentic luau on the island. Hula dancers are superb and the food is of the highest quality.The other available in Maui luaus are generally made at the resort and lack realism of old Lahaina.En because of its popularity, old Luau Lahaina require reservations. In fact, I recommend that you make your reservations before leave you even for Hawaii.




When visiting the big island, yet once there is a multitude of options for.Kona seems to be a popular town for the luau.Kona Beach King Kamehameha Hotel offers a luau shell Lei greeting and a torch lighting ceremony.Check with the hotel luau jours.Sur morning luaus viewers can watch staff Hotel bury the pork in the sand and begin roasting.




Island Kaui offer some luau is propre.Le Radisson Kauai Beach Resort, and Kilohana planting have all two luaus nice finish with open bar, big lamp and of course, hula dancers.




Which island or islands you choose to visit Hawaii, a luau Hawaiian is a must.Si girls gorgeous hula are your thing (Polynesian dancers briefly dressed for the ladies) or you are just there for food, a luau is that if you please.
