Top Web Sites
 You've navigated to Hawaii's space on the planet. How do you navigate through Hawaii's cyberspace?
Thanks to search engines like Google and traffic ranking services like Alexa.com, Web surfers can cut through the clutter to find some of the more popular sites for and about Hawaii living. Based on these services, some of the most frequently used sites include: Transportation www.hawaiianair.com Hawaiian Airlines is one of four Hawaii-based airlines that services the island chain. In addition to Hawaii, Hawaiian Airlines flies to various cities on the west coast as well as Australia, Tahiti, and Samoa. Music www.mele.com "Auntie Maria," a disc jockey on Kauai's KKCR radio station, is the driving force behind the first independent online retailer of Hawaiian music. Mele.com has bragging rights to the world's largest in-stock inventory of the music of Hawaii, with over 1300 different CD titles available for immediate purchase, not to mention DVDs. Recreation and Sports www.surfnewsnetwork.com Surfing (the waves, not the internet) is one of the most popular pastimes in Hawaii - so much that the surf conditions are part of daily news and weather reports. The Surf News Network also brings results from surf meets and images of surfers in action from around the world. Media www.honoluluadvertiser.com Hawaii's top daily newspaper, featuring exclusive online videos and photo galleries accompanying reports seen in print. Special sections include stories from communities around Oahu, giving readers a slice of life from people who live in these regions. www.KITV.com Of Hawaii's four main television broadcast stations-KHON, KHNL, KGMB, and KITV-this ABC affiliate is the most popular with Web surfers looking for video clips from the breaking newscasts as well as human interest stories and morning show bytes. Travel and Tourism www.gohawaii.com When planning a trip to Hawaii, the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau provides some of the most extensive information on attractions, activities, accommodations, highlights from each island, calendar of events, and weather information. Features include the ability to customize one's trip planning, insider tips for getting off the beaten path, and neighborhood information. Attractions www.honoluluzoo.org People from around the world access the Honolulu Zoo's site to learn more about the 1200 animals situated on 42 acres in Waikiki. Photos, videos, sounds, quizzes and animal enrichment information bring the birds and the beasts to your desktop. Education www.hawaii.edu The official website of the University of Hawaii links users to its main campuses in Manoa, Hilo, and West Oahu, as well as its seven community colleges. The main focus is academic, of course, but a very popular option is the ability to buy, sell, and transfer sports event tickets online in real time. If your student is not yet ready for college, access the Hawaii public school system at www.doe.k12.hi.us to get information on the 285 schools spanning seven islands and search for the school serving their area. Hawaiian-English Dictionary www.hisurf.com/hawaiian/dictionary.html Mo'o & Lolo's Hawaiian-English Dictionary is an easy-to-use online resource, containing almost 5000 of the most commonly used Hawaiian words for translation. Its parent site, www.hisurf.com, has entertaining functions such as Hawaiian pet names, the ability to find one's western name in Hawaiian, and instructions for throwing your own luau. Real Estate www.prudentiallocations.com There's no doubt about it, real estate is booming all over Hawaii. Prudential Locations is the online leader in Hawaii real estate companies, offering the most advanced internet abilities in searching for listings on a map, current news and research, even contacting an agent. Offline, Prudential offers relocation services and property rentals to help their clients get started in Hawaii. Restaurants www.alternative-hawaii.com/restaug.htm Although short on palatable graphics, this online restaurant directory is quick and practical when searching for a restaurant by cuisine and by island. Each restaurant listing includes its address, contact information, meals served, operating hours, price range, and a quick description of its menu offerings. |
