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.

  • 32,106 TripAdvisor reviews of 730 accommodations, 270 attractions and 535 restaurants
If watching the sunrise from atop a 10,000-foot volcano, swimming under waterfalls, hiking through craters and luxuriating on white-, red- and even black-sand beaches sounds like paradise, then Maui awaits.

  • Major features: beaches, archaeological sites, architecture
  • 7,579 TripAdvisor reviews of 743 accommodations, 25 attractions and 53 restaurants
