When it comes to vacation planning, Hawaii visitors have a massive appetite for beach information. Now HawaiiGaga.com, one of Hawaii's premier travel Web sites, has partnered with Hawaiian Images Photography and Video to supplement its panoramic beach and attraction pictures with aerial photographs. HawaiiGaga.com displays panoramic photos of Hawaii's 150 most popular beaches and attractions. The beach information pages are popular among visitors researching Hawaii, receiving more than 25,000 page views per month. Aerial photos reveal the beautiful surroundings that many Hawaiian beaches enjoy, and the added perspective gives holiday planners more information about their sizes and locations. HawaiiGaga also makes use of aerial photos to show tourists the location of many of Hawaii's condo resorts. This is especially useful for vacationers utilizing HawaiiGaga's rental directory to research vacation rentals. Aerial photos reveal details about a resort's location and surroundings that are often important considerations in deciding where to stay. Aerial photographs are taken at a height of 500 feet. HawaiiGaga's interactive maps precisely pinpoint the location of Hawaii's beaches and attractions. The interactive maps, based on Yahoo's mapping technology, can also show satellite images and include panoramic ground photo overlays. This gives vacationers an unprecedented amount of information with which to plan their holiday.
