- MAUI
No matter which mode of transport you choose (driving along the Road to Hana, enjoying a bird's-eye view of the lush coastline from a helicopter, snorkeling with sea turtles, or simply relaxing on the Hawaiian island's honey- or black-colored beaches), you'll discover that Maui is unlike any other tropical destination. Don't let a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Haleakala National Park pass you by! This is where the world's largest dormant volcano resides. Not only do you need to attend a luau, but also a Hawaiian luau is an excellent way to see local culture, as well as sample Hawaii-style fare like poi, poke, and mahimahi.
