Welcome to the Hawaii Specialist Course

Before it became a state, the Hawaiian Islands had lured visitors and explorers to this tropical paradise. Not every island in the chain offers the same experience, so knowing the wonderful differences between The Big Island, The Garden Isle, and The Gathering Place (among others) will greatly enhance your ability to match your customer’s expectations to their experience.

Each chapter explains the uniqueness of each island by exploring the major cities, attractions, culture, geography, transportation, and specialties of each area.

Course Curriculum

Introduction

Hawaii Essentials – from background to transportation. This section provides some great foundational information.

Kauai

The Garden Island is known for its natural beauty. Of the islands, Kauai (kuh why ee) is smaller, less populated, more rural, and more laid back.

Oahu

Known since ancient times as The Gathering Place and now as The Heartbeat of Hawaii, Oahu (oh wah hoo) is the third largest and most populous island.

Molokai

Molokai (moh loh kah ee)—the Friendly Island, or Hawaiian by Nature—is a place where residents cherish their traditional ways, proud of the island’s lack of commercial development.

Lanai

Lanai (lah nah ee) is the smallest publicly accessible island in the Hawaiian chain.

Maui

Known as the Valley Isle for the isthmus between its northwest and southeast volcanoes and for the numerous valleys carved into both mountains, Maui (mau ee) is also called the Magic Isle.

The Big Island of Hawaii

To avoid confusion with the name of the state, the island of Hawaii is often appropriately called the Big Island. It is the biggest of the islands and still growing.
