Islands of the USA
From the volcanic wonders of Hawaii to the tropical paradise of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands — discover America's incredible island destinations.
Oahu
The 'Gathering Place' is the most visited of the Hawaiian Islands — home to Honolulu, the iconic Waikiki Beach, the solemn Pearl Harbor National Memorial, and the legendary North Shore surf breaks. Oahu balances urban sophistication with spectacular natural beauty, from the volcanic Diamond Head crater to the lush Koolau mountain range.
Maui
The 'Valley Isle' is consistently voted America's best island — a paradise of black sand beaches, the otherworldly Haleakala volcano crater, the winding Road to Hana through tropical rainforest, and winter humpback whale watching in the Auau Channel. Maui's resort towns of Wailea and Kaanapali offer world-class luxury; the upcountry farms and lavender fields offer pastoral serenity.
Big Island (Hawaii)
The youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain is actively growing — Kilauea volcano has been erupting nearly continuously since 1983, adding new land to the island. The Big Island contains 11 of the world's 14 climate zones, from tropical rainforest to snow-capped mountain, and offers the most diverse landscape of any Hawaiian island, including active lava flows, the Kona coffee coast, and the extraordinary stargazing summit of Mauna Kea.
Key West
The southernmost city in the continental United States sits at the end of the Overseas Highway — 125 miles of bridges and causeways across the Florida Keys — with a character more Caribbean than American. Hemingway's famous home, Duval Street's legendary nightlife, the nightly Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square, and the tropical waters teeming with reef fish make Key West one of the most distinctive destinations in the country.
Manhattan Island
Technically an island bounded by the Hudson River, East River, Harlem River, and New York Bay, Manhattan is the urban island par excellence — 13 miles long and 2.3 miles wide, home to 1.6 million people, 27,000 restaurants, over 800 languages, and a density of culture, commerce, and creativity unmatched anywhere on earth. The island that defines New York City.
