The waters of the Hawaiian islands invite you like none other. Flowing over the waters are particular breezes known as trade winds. The trade winds flow in a northern and a western direction and they are called, respectively, north easterlies and westerlies. These breezes are important. They are responsible for the comforting and peaceful warm air that permeates Hawaiian local atmosphere. Once you feel them, you never forget.
The warm breezes of Hawaii touch your skin leaving it feeling as though it has just been encountered by a soft, massaging hand. It clings to just long enough to let you know that you have been officially welcomed to the islands, but not too long to make you feel intruded upon. It is a respectful breeze that comes back to visit you time and time again.
The warm airs of Hawaii have been known to make a person feel as though they can fly or even that they can lie out in the ocean waters without a care. Take caution when you visit that you are not fooled by the breezes and go under.
Unless, of course, you are well equipped with snorkeling gear.
Beneath the surface of Hawaii's ocean line lives the most varied marine life known to the earth. With a temperature ranging from 75 degrees to 81 degrees in the summer the aquatic wild life flourishes. There are dolphins, whales, green sea turtles and monk seals. There are the spotted eagle rays, whose white spotted backs are easy to spot in the translucent blue waters and there are also the sharks. These are only the names of a few of the marine inhabitants that Hawaii offers up for your viewing pleasure. Visitors rent boats or buy tour packages just to visit the waters alone. It is a joy, indeed.
Then, there are the air activities. It is not an unusual site to see someone gliding from a high altitude mountain surface supported only by synthetic wings and the winds. They are hang -gliding and hanging ten with the birds. Wheeeeeeee!
