From northwest to southeast, these are the islands in order – Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and Hawaii – the ‘ Big Island.’ In the early nineteenth century, the Hawaiian Islands were also well known as the Sandwich Islands. Hawaii is a unique state with qualities that no other state and is the only island in the world that is further away from any landmass - except for Easter Island.

The islands were first visited by Europeans in about 1778 by British captain James Cook.
