To really be specific, the correct spelling of the islands includes the use of the okino which is similar to a backwards apostrophe (I use ` here). It indicates a glottal stop, where you pause your breath. You'll notice that the newspapers and street signs in Hawaii now use the correct spellings after years of ignoring it.
