Best Answer

The Hawaiian Island archipelago includes 137 islands and atolls. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited. The eight largest main islands form the State of Hawaii: the island of Hawai'i, Maui, Lana'i, Moloka'i, Kaho'olawe, 'Oahu, Kauai, and Ni'ihau.
I haven't counted the small islands; there are probably more than 124. But 8 larger islands is correct.

The "Big Island" of Hawai'i

Maui

Kaho'olawe

Lana'i

Moloka'i

Oahu

Kaua'i

Ni'ihau

The most photographed of the smaller islands is probably Molokini, which is a half-rim of an underwater volcano southwest of Maui. If you ever see a mountainous crescent-shaped island surrounded by boats - that's Molokini.
