Known as the "Garden Island," Kauai is Hawaii's oldest island and a tropical paradise. Covered with verdant rainforests, glittering waterfalls, and immense cliffs, Kauai will astound you at every turn. This island is the perfect destination for outdoor adventures, with activities from kayaking, to ziplining, to snorkeling. Better yet, marvel at the island's natural beauty, from the scenic cliffsides of Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park to the resort beaches of Poipu.

Exhilarating Rio de Janeiro, the vibrant South American destination and cultural capital, abounds with iconic landmarks, beaches, and attractions.

The Bimini Islands, the westernmost point of the Bahamas, are a tiny chain of islands steeped in history, legend, and natural wonder. Bimini has long been celebrated as the “Gateway to the Bahamas,” blending fishing traditions, maritime lore, and a laid-back island culture.

Tonga is distinctly different to its neighboring island nations. This Polynesian kingdom, made up of 170 islands, carries a proud history that dates back over 3,000 years. On the main island of Tongatapu, travelers can explore ancient stone structures like the Haʻamonga ʻa Maui Trilithon—sometimes called the Stonehenge of the Pacific. Royal tombs in Lapaha offer a glimpse into the lineage of Tonga’s kings, while village life remains guided by customs that have changed little over centuries.

The Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, offer far more than just sunshine and beaches. Made up of eight main islands, each with its own personality, the Canaries are a place where lunar landscapes, cloud forests, volcanic peaks, and historic towns coexist within short travel distances. On Tenerife, Mount Teide looms over a landscape of solidified lava and craters that look like a science fiction set.
