Hawaii
With stunning and diverse landscapes, a rich cultural history, and activities for a wide variety of interests, Hawaii has major appeal.
Hawaii is a gorgeous and easy to navigate destination. The islands offer near perfect weather and incredible geological sites. Hawaii's reputation as the ideal beach destination is well deserved, but there's also smoldering volcanos, ancient temples, beautiful lavender fields, old Hawaiian cowboy culture, and the only royal palace in the United States to explore. It's the perfect destination for families who have differing interests - because there's truly something for everyone.
