- Kahoolawe—“The Target Isle” ...
Serving as a stark reminder of the injustices placed upon Native Hawaiians and their lands, Kahoʻolawe's nickname, The Target Isle, is derived from its modern history as a bombing range used by the U.S. Navy for training and testing purposes.
Access to the Reserve (the island and the 2 miles of ocean surrounding Kaho'olawe) is restricted because of the continued danger of unexploded ordnance.
- Kauai—“The Garden Isle” ...
Kauai is the greenest of the Hawaiian islands, deservingly earning the nickname the 'Garden Island'. It caters to those seeking pristine nature and stunning tropical landscapes – the island has 4 dramatic mountains, mostly covered by lush forest, together with wonderful stretches of beaches.
- Lanai—“The Pineapple Isle” ...
Larry Ellison's Home
Keahiakawelo (The Fire of Kawelo), on the island's northwest side, is an out-of-this-world rock garden about a 45-minute drive from Lanai City. Also called Garden of the Gods, it is accessible only by four-wheel drive. It's said that two kahuna, one from Lanai and the other from Molokai, had a contest to see which could keep a fire burning longer. Lanai's kahuna, Kawelo, used all of the area's vegetation to keep his fire burning, which explains the barren land, with its extraordinary rock towers, spires and other formations. The “garden” is most captivating at sunset, when the rock formations take on gold, red and purple hues.
- Maui—“The Valley Isle” ...
Maui is the second largest island of the Hawaiian Island chain. Skyline Eco-Adventures has two tour locations on Maui. In fact, we established the first commercial zipline tour in the United States on Maui in 2001 just outside of Haleakalā National Park. This zipline course is still one of our most popular and award-winning courses today! We also have an incredible zipline course located near the resort area in Ka’anapali. Maui’s most famous historic areas are Haleakalā National Park and the Road to Hana. Maui’s climate is very diverse in different parts of the island. Some areas are warm, tropical and lush while others, like Upcountry Maui, are drier and can be chilly at times due to the difference in elevation.
Molokai—“The Enlightening Isle” or “The Friendly Isle” ...
Molokai is the fifth largest island in the Hawaiian island chain. On this island, you will find a 500-acre coffee plantation and miles of untouched landscapes. It is called the enlightening isle because its remoteness helps you find yourself and reset your perspectives about life.
- Niihau—“The Forbidden Isle” ...
During a 1952 polio epidemic in the Hawaiian Islands, Niihau became known as the “Forbidden Island” since you had to have a doctor's note to visit in order to prevent the spread of polio.

Within the continental US other states have access to miles of interconnected terrestrial fiber paths, Hawaiʻi relies on the use of submarine fiber to provide connectivity from the rest of the world to the Islands, with terrestrial and interisland submarine fiber reinforcing the local delivery of broadband.
Of the four undersea cables between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland, one has reached its end of life, two are more than halfway through their lives which will require renewal with regard to additional capacity, and the newest cable has only 5 terabits of bandwidth and will soon reach its threshold.
