Hawaii<br />
With nearly 140 islands spread over 1,500 square miles <strong>of</strong> Pacific<br />
Ocean, Hawaii <strong>of</strong>fers visitors a huge variety <strong>of</strong> things to see and do, from<br />
verdant jungles and active volcanos to swimming with manta rays and<br />
surfing some <strong>of</strong> the world’s wildest waves.<br />
Of the major islands, most visits start in Oahu. The name literally means<br />
‘gathering place’ and from the early days when Hawaiian royalty chose<br />
Waikiki Beach to build their first houses, to today, when nearly 350,000<br />
people call Honolulu home, the island has been the centre <strong>of</strong> Hawaiian<br />
culture. A visit to the moving Pearl Harbor National Memorial <strong>of</strong>fers a<br />
fascinating insight into one <strong>of</strong> the most pivotal moments in US history.<br />
A hike up Diamond Head provides breathtaking views <strong>of</strong> Waikiki Beach.<br />
And from November to March, the island’s legendary North Shore is<br />
pounded by some <strong>of</strong> the most monstrous waves on the planet, from Haleiwa<br />
to Sunset Beach, past Waimea Bay and the notorious Banzai Pipeline.<br />
Second largest in terms <strong>of</strong> population, Maui ticks a lot <strong>of</strong> boxes, with<br />
whale-watching experiences, beautiful beaches and some <strong>of</strong> Hawaii’s<br />
swankiest resorts among its trump cards. Watching sunrise from the<br />
top <strong>of</strong> hulking Haleakala Volcano is an absolute must, as is driving the<br />
corkscrew Hana Highway, a zig-zagging route along Maui’s north-east coast<br />
that <strong>of</strong>fers awe-inspiring views <strong>of</strong> waterfalls, beaches and tropical rainforests.<br />
Though if it’s rainforests you want, you might prefer the island <strong>of</strong> Kauai.<br />
Hawaii’s ‘Garden Isle’ is the greenest and oldest in the Hawaiian archipelago,<br />
with a laidback vibe that’s a million miles from the hubbub <strong>of</strong> Honolulu.<br />
About two thirds <strong>of</strong> the island is carpeted in jungle, with the other third<br />
home to some truly dramatic scenery, including the jaw-dropping cliffs <strong>of</strong><br />
the Na Pali Coast and the spectacular Waimea Canyon.<br />
Then there’s Hawaii Island (aka Big Island) whose biggest draw is<br />
unquestionably Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to two <strong>of</strong> the<br />
world’s most active volcanoes, including Kilauea, where molten lava flows<br />
can still be seen today.<br />
