The island of Hawaii is by far the largest island in the group with two active volcanoes - Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Population wise Oahu is by far the largest.
I joined a motor coach excursion to the panoramic Maui.
Lahaina was once the big place for whaling. There are several Hump-back whales in the warm waters around Maui. Today they are all protected, so the city has to manage without the whaling.
Maui consist of two mountain ranges - dormant vocanoes - like Oahu, and between them a wide valley where most of the people live.
