If you’ve ever picked up a surf magazine, then you’ll have dreamt about one day visiting Hawaii.

Honolulu, the capital of this Pacific island, has everything you could want – turquoise waters, mountains, waterfalls and palm trees – without leaving the cosmopolitan buzz behind.

Hanauma Bay is especially good for snorkelling, but you can practically do anything here that’s related to water.

It’s also worth hiking around the Koʻolau Range for a non-aquatic adventure and great views of the city.
