country in Asia. Within the city limits you’ll find
breathtaking beaches, like Waikiki, as well as the
Diamond Head Volcano, whose iconic silhouette
dominates the skyline. The dormant Haleakala
Volcano on Maui rises 10,000 feet to the heavens,
and its peak is frequently blanketed in snow. On its
slopes, the rich volcanic soils host huge plantations
growing coffee, pineapples, sugarcane, and taro, a
staple of the local diet. And then there is the simmering
Big Island, a study in stark contrasts. In a single day
you can watch as the steady breezes and rolling
waves create the perfect playground for kite surfers
and sailboarders; venture inland at Hilo to explore
Rainbow Falls, the island’s most spectacular cascade;
or get a sense of this world’s first chapters in Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park, as you tread across a barren
lava landscape that still radiates the warmth it
brought forth from the earth’s molten core.
Many Islands, Many Faces
Venture from Hawaii out into the Pacific and the
rewards of your voyage defy easy description. In
Papeete, Tahiti, you can experience the bliss of
South Seas serenity, or shop for exotic bargains in the
Marché Papeete, the capital’s bustling marketplace. In
Moorea, float in the emerald lagoons that slowly give
way to the azure waters of the Pacific, or climb Mt. Rotui,
an endeavor that will reward you with spectacular views
of Opunohu Bay. In Kiribati, you’ll be amazed by the profusion
of wildlife, as well as stone ruins that date back to the
15th century. And on Rarotonga, relax to the island’s
laid-back cadence, or go shopping using one of the
world’s only $3 bills.
