Paradise


Hawaii is known as the "Paradise of the Pacific" because of its exotic flowers, beaches with palm trees, beautiful mountains, breathtaking cliffs and canyons, thick rainforests, deep blue seas, and majestic waterfalls. The islands have limestone that comes from ancient coral reefs created when the sea level was higher than it is today and vast areas of lava beds. Hawaii is known for its pleasant climate created by cool Pacific winds.


If you've never been to Hawaii, trust me, it's your total loss!

 Hawaii's wild life is not dangerous at all, nothing can ever hurt you.
It does not have snakes, lions, tigers, or any animal that could live in a forest that can hurt you.

And these are things why Hawaii is known as paradise.
