Islands in the USA
Hawaii's five main islands each have a distinct character: Oahu for Waikiki and Pearl Harbor, Maui for the Hana Highway and whale season (January to March), the Big Island for active lava flows and Kona coffee farms. Beyond Hawaii, the Florida Keys stretch 113 miles of reefs and mangroves to Key West, and the Outer Banks in North Carolina have wild horses and the Wright Brothers monument. Each guide covers inter-island transport and when to visit.
