Hawaii activities range from land and air tours, nightly entertainment shows, surfing and snorkeling to enjoying the best cuisines of the East and West and so much more. Visit a traditional Hawaiian luau feast, tour historic Pearl Harbor, explore the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, bike down Haleakala – the largest dormant volcano in the world, or go kayaking along the majestic Na Pali Coast. Hawaii has an adventure in store for everyone.
By 1878 in Hawaii, the native population was estimated to be between 40,000 and 50,000 people. While drastically smaller than the population of just one hundred years previously, the native Hawaiians still comprised over 75% of the total population of Hawaii.
Over the last one hundred and twenty years, the numbers of pure Hawaiians, those with only Hawaiian blood, have continued to decline. The pure Hawaiian is a dying race. Today, there are less than 8,000 pure Hawaiians alive.
