Flying over the Hawaiian Islands

Flying over the Hawaiian Islands is very unique experience, especially if you fly from Oahu to the Big Island. Then you can see three or four islands within the span of 30 minutes. First you will see the beautiful coastline of south and east Oahu, the famous beaches Ala Moana, Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach and others. Then you will get the chance to fly over Molokai and see the long white sand beach Papohaku Beach, Molokai sea cliffs and even the Kalaupapa Peninsula. You may also see the island of Lanai. As your journey continues you will fly over Maui and get the chance to see Maui’s coastline and Mt. Haleakala. That will give you a very good overview of Haleakala’s cinder cones.

Since it is up to the airline and weather which route they fly, the route changes and you may not be able to see all these attractions or maybe you will be able to see others. Here is what I saw.
