Aloha!

At HawaiiNavigator.com it's our goal to document in photos and text the plants, animals, beaches, hotels, and sightseeing opportunities in Hawaii, including popular hiking trails. Whether you're a Hawaii resident, a visitor, or just interested in learning more about what Hawaii is really like, we hope you'll find something useful here.

Plant/Animal Identifier

Have you seen a strange tree or a bird you can't identify? We might be able to help you. Click a menu item under plants or animals, and you'll pull up a page with the names and images of all the species we've cataloged so far. Skimming the pictures might help you find the plant or animal you're looking for. If you're not sure, click through to the species page anyway, where you are likely to find additional images.

If you already know what you're looking for, try entering the name in the search box for quick results.
