Hawaii is one of EF's most popular destinations. All year long our international language students travel here to experience Hawaii's unique combination of American luxury-resort lifestyle and ancient Polynesian traditions in America’s tropical paradise.
The most visited destination among the islands is Honolulu. Students are drawn here by the unique local culture and identity, as well as the breathtaking nature along the the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Becoming a local host family in Hawaii will provide students with this unforgettable opportunity.
