A remote island in the Republic of Kiribati,
Fanning Island will give you a chance to understand what life
is like in a truly unspoiled, tropical paradise, unencumbered
by modern-day distractions. Snorkel or dive in water so clear
it looks like it came out of a tap, burrow into the powder
white sand on a deserted beach, or become enchanted by the
native children as they display their singing and dancing
talents.
 Hawaii,
or The Big Island, as it is known, is constantly growing due
to the ongoing eruptions of Kilauea Crater, located in Volcanoes
National Park. In addition to the active and dormant volcanoes,
you’ll also find stunning black and white sand beaches,
crystal-blue lagoons teeming with colorful fish and friendly
manta rays, and lush green vegetation. Be sure to pick up
some fresh coffee from one of the plantations in Kona!
Kauai is known to many as “The Garden
Island,” so named due to its abundance of tropical flowers
and thriving bird population. You are also likely to experience
a number of rainbow sightings while on one of the many golf
courses. Hollywood producers also appreciate the lushness
of this place – both Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic
Park were filmed here. Don’t miss Waimea Canyon, a petite
version of the Grand Canyon.
Maui is aptly named “The Valley
Island,” as its two magnificent (extinct) volcanoes
create a lush green valley between them. Mount Haleakala,
the largest dormant volcano in the world, is covered with
hiking and biking trails and its peak is a popular spot to
watch the sun rise. Known for excellent beaches, Maui also
offers “The Road to Hana,” a twisting, turning
and very scenic coastal road along the tropical windward side
of the island.
 Many
of the most well known names of Hawaii are located here: Honolulu,
Waikiki, Diamond Head, and Pearl Harbor. And the climate is
said to be the best on Earth – a balmy, breezy, 82 degrees,
year-round. Honolulu provides a big-city feel, Waikiki boasts
gorgeous beaches, Diamond Head is the most famous volcanic
crater in the world, and Pearl Harbor will forever be remembered
in hearts around the world
