Of all the places I’ve experienced, I find Hawaii to be the most naturally beautiful. Formed by volcanic activity, this chain of islands has an extremely diverse ecosystem, which is what makes it so striking. The color of the crystalline water ranges in different areas from light turquoise to a deep dark blue, with every shade in between. The lush green mountains and rolling hills and canyons, especially those of the stunning Napali Coast, are simply breathtaking. If you ever have the chance to kayak the Napali Coast, you should do it–it’s the adventure of a lifetime!
