Hawaii

Hawaii is the most exotic part of the USA — a volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Pacific, 3,800 km from the mainland, where Polynesian culture meets American lifestyle. Six main islands, each with its own character: from urban Waikiki on Oahu to the dramatic cliffs of Kauai and the active volcanoes on Big Island. Here, people surf, snorkel, hike, and eat Poke — all under a rainbow that appears so often it's depicted on license plates.
