Hawaii
Much more than a beach trip: volcanoes, forests and ocean.
— Why we chose
Hawaii
We chose Hawaii because it is the opposite of the postcard people expect. These are islands to drive: you leave at dawn for a crater, drop down to a black-sand beach, cross a rainforest and end the day watching the ocean from a cliff. Every island is a different world — culture and history on Oʻahu, pure nature on Kauaʻi, contrasts on Maui, living geology on Big Island — and the sea stays part of the journey, not the whole journey.
