Happy National Hawaii Day!

Eight islands make up The Aloha State, the largest of which is named Hawaii. The islands of Maui, Oahu, and Kauai are the next in size followed by Molokai, Lanai, Nihau, and Kahoolawe.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Polynesians navigated the Pacific ocean in double-hulled vessels from the west. Captain James Cook sailed to the islands in 1778 and would later meet his death on the big island.

For generations, Hawaii was ruled by the hand of the Kamehameha dynasty. King Kamehameha is still honored in Hawaii today.

In 1874, a new king was elected to the throne. King Kalākaua was known as the Merrie Monarch. Kalākaua developed a reputation as a diplomat as he set out to tour the globe in 1881. As a result, Kalakaua would become the first monarch to travel around the world. It would take the Hawaiian leader an entire year to complete the voyage.

On August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state, as part of the United States Of America.

So, now that we have some of the history out of the way... 

Let's talk about the men! But why talk when we can can simply let our eyes do their thing?

Yes... as if blue skies, sandy beaches, jungle vegetation and enchanting waters were not enough...

These men are the kind of natural beauty which awaits any island visitor. 

'Shaka Brah', indeed!
