Honolulu / United States

If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer. Explore stunning Oahu landscapes and tropical rainforests, take in the vibrant downtown arts scene and visit the Bishop Museum and the memorial at Pearl Harbor for a bit of history. But don't skip the surf! Dive into the deep blue waters, take a night stroll on the tiki-torch-lit beach or hang ten on the waves.
