For many of us, the word “vacation” makes us think of sunbathing on a sunny beach, splashing in a stunning blue sea, taking a nap under coconut palm trees, in other words: Hawaii. But travelers who can stray from the 50th state’s incredible beaches will find much more to do.

From volcanic landscapes to hidden waterfalls and epic expeditions, a Hawaiian getaway can offer you a dozen different options. Each of the six main beaches (Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii Island) has its own personality and its own opportunities for adventure, food, culture and relaxation.
