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.

How many countries have snakes?

Every place except for Hawaii and Maine Hawaii and Maine are states not countries. Several countries and islands have no snakes at all, including Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, Ireland, New Zealand and the Falkland Islands. Most of the islands of the Pacific Ocean, and many Caribbean islands, have no poisonous land snakes, although those in equatorial waters are likely to have poisonous sea snakes just offshore. Madagascar is unusual in having a large and varied population of snakes - a total of 90 species altogether - but no dangerous ones ( a small number are venomous, but the arrangement of their fangs makes them completely harmless to people).
