No trip to southern California would be complete without spending some time soaking in the sun and lapping up the waves on the sand. While Long Beach has its own beaches, many enjoy driving about 30 minutes to Huntington Beach for a truly scenic experience. With almost nine miles (15 kilometers) of connected beach. While Long Beach is a coastal city with beaches and water activities, it’s also home to a number of interesting historical and cultural experiences. Spend the morning perusing museums like the Long Beach Museum of Art, Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Adobe, the Museum of Latin Art, Scorpion Submarine Museum and the Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum. Having a meal, shopping on or touring the historic Queen Mary is also a treat, as the ship was once considered the most luxurious liner in the world and today is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At night, take in a show at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, home to the Center Theater.

If you can only do one thing when you’re in Seward, make it exploring Kenai Fjord National Park. Encompassing 1,047 square miles (2,711 square kilometers), the park is littered with glacial-carved fjords. Within the park, make sure to visit Harding Icefield, an enormous ice field with 40 glaciers flowing into it. Take an aerial tour over the park for a unique vantage point, kayak through the fjords and explore the trails around Exit Glacier. Seward gives you access to one of Alaska’s most scenic drives: The Seward Highway.

Although you never leave Alaska, you’ll feel like you’re crossing borders as the landscape switches between alpine meadows, retreating glaciers, majestic fjords, mirror lakes and rugged peaks.

For many visitors, Oahu is Hawaii. Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Honolulu – all those names we instantly associate with Hawaii are on Oahu. World War Two history is tangibly linked to Oahu and the events that took place at Pearl Harbor. Pay your respects to the crew who died aboard USS Arizona in December 1941 and step aboard USS Missouri to get an idea of shipboard life. Visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to see film footage from 1941, as well as moving artifacts recovered after the attack. The focus is on the aerial battlefield at the Pacific Aviation Museum, with its collection of rare vintage US and Japanese aircraft. Feeling inspired by watching wannabe Kelly Slaters tame Oahu’s monstrous waves? Then why not grab the chance to learn to surf in Oahu? You can have a one-on-one lesson with your instructor, or join a small group of four students. The best beaches to practice your surfing moves are Waikiki, North Shore spots like Puena Point and Cockroach Bay.

Start the day bright and early with a sunrise visit to the world's largest dormant volcano, Mt. Haleakala. Explore the lush tropical landscape of the eastern Hana coast, or focus on Haleakala National Park and the Iao Valley. For something different, take a trip into the past aboard the sugar-train Kahaina Kaanapali Railroad, or take an exhilarating helicopter flight over Haleakala or the neighboring island of Molokai. At sunset, treat yourself to a gloriously backlit dinner cruise or a traditional luau at a luxury resort - or why not do both with our dinner cruise and luau two-night combo! Maui has swimming, surfing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and perfect-visibility snorkeling year-round. You can learn to surf like an expert, go snorkeling and turtle-spotting in Molokini Crater, or combine snorkeling and kayaking on Maui's West Shore. Take the wildest eco snorkel tour in Hawaii aboard a traditional outrigger canoe, or go whale-watching from Lahaina.

Grand Canyon är ett av världens sju naturunderverk, alltså en upplevelse du bara inte får missa. Om du har ont om tid eller helt enkelt är intresserad av att uppleva Grand Canyon ur en annan vinkel bör du överväga en flyg- eller helikoptertur. Turerna avgår vanligen från Las Vegas och gör att du enkelt, snabbt och säkert kan nå alla tre kanterna. Det bästa av allt är den fantastiska utsikten (både vid soluppgång och solnedgång) ovanifrån. Beundra de skiftande färgerna på kanjonens väggar i solnedgången under en helikoptertur till den västra kanten, och landa djupt nere i kanjonen där du får avnjuta en oförglömlig champagnepicknick. Eller utforska Grand Canyons nationalpark längs med den södra kanten med en magnifik utsikt från Mather Point och Bright Angel Lodge Observatory. Eller upplev en riktig ranch vid den avlägsna norra kanten, under en tur i ett flygplan som landar på en avsides belägen flygplats djupt nere i kanjonen.

A lot is said about San Francisco, both by visitors and locals alike. Foreigners often dub it "the most European" city in America. W.H.

Road Trip The transition from urban New Orleans to the mysterious realm of cypress swamps, vast sugarcane fields and historic bridges spanning the mighty Mississippi River are best experienced in that most American method of transportation: the automobile.

All Aboard Learn the secrets of local alligator hunters, fur trappers and fishermen aboard a guided boat tour of the swamps and backwater bayous of Louisiana.

Kauai is an island for the senses – velvet-green mountains roll down to meet the ocean, fringed by swaying palm trees; it’s like something out of the movies, and it is: South Pacific, Jurassic Park – you wouldn’t be surprised to meet Elvis strumming a guitar or one of those dinosaurs. To get a feel for the incredible landscape of The Garden Isle, take a sightseeing flight over Kauai. You’ll see Waimea Canyon, dubbed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific; Waialeale Crater, the wettest place on Earth and waterfalls and coastline to fill any digital camera’s memory. If planes are too tame for you, make like a bird yourself on the ziplines, harnessing up and riding high above rivers, canyons and waterfalls of Kalihiwai Valley. Or if you just prefer to be amongst the peace and wonder of nature, bike or hike through Waimea Canyon or to Kalihiwai Falls. If you fancy a bit of kayaking, head for the Hule’la River and paddle deep into the heart of the jungle.

One of the best things about Savannah is that it’s a pleasure to stroll. With over 900 buildings listed as historically or architecturally significant, a walk through Savannah’s Historic District has its appeal. On day two it’s time to shop and eat like the locals do. Start your morning with a walk down Savannah’s Broughton Street, and see all the small boutiques that make the street famous. People come to Savannah for this street alone, so if you’ve got a shopper in the mix, be forewarned. Another great spot to stroll some of Savannah’s best shops is the Savannah Historic Market. Part of the great thing about Savannah is that it’s chock-full of history. From as early as the late 1700s, things have been happening here, and with so much history you might figure that there would be a lot to explore – and you’d figure correctly. If architecture is your thing, consider stopping by several of Savannah’s famous historic homes like the Owens-Thomas House.

This is Music City, U.S.A., home of the Grand Ole Opry and its storied Ryman Auditorium, which launched scores of beautiful voices into country music stardom. Begin your exploration of the Tennessee capital with a walking tour through history, or guided trolley trip among the skyscrapers. Better yet, book a combination tour, visiting highlights including Nashville's perfect scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This is Tennessee, so please feel free to relax for a spell. After a leisurely Southern breakfast (don't miss the biscuits and gravy) consider walking around the waterfront or stately campus of Vanderbilt University. Or head out into the Tennessee hills, to tiny Lynchburg, where Jack Daniel's Distillery transforms fine corn mash and pure artesian spring water into one of the world's best whiskeys.

Many of the tours from Kona, as visitors to Hawaii’s Big Island might expect, focus on activities found along the Kona coast of Hawaii’s Big Island. That being said, one of the largest visitor draws on the island—Hawaii Volcanoes National Park—is located clear on the other side of the island and entails multiple hours of drive-time to get there. Nevertheless, for those Kona-based travelers hoping to get a glimpse of Madame Pele in action (the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes), there are tours from Kona which offer full day excursions over to the hot and bubbly side of the island for a look at Kilauea volcano—the most consistently active volcano on Earth. For those Big Island visitors looking to stay a little closer to home, however, there are plenty of other tours from Kona ready to be explored just outside of town. Feel the excitement of snorkeling with manta rays on a night dive or sailing past a pod of Hawaiian spinner dolphins off of Kealakekua Bay.

Experience the magnitude of the Grand Canyon from below, on a boat ride down the mighty Colorado River. It's a truly unique view, cruising (or rafting) down the river past towering sandstone cliffs and world-famous geological formations. A pontoon boat ride is a great way to get a close-up view of the canyon walls and to escape the crowds and commotion at the rim. You can also go white-water rafting.

Once nicknamed 'God's Waiting Room' because of the many octogenarians eking out their last moments by the pool, modern day Miami is a glittering jewel of the south. Cradled by the Everglades, the Florida Keys, and that ever-present Gulf, it might be wise to pick up a Go Miami Card to fully explore what options lie in store for you. Alternatively, you could ease into things with a Miami City Tour, which includes a relaxing and informative cruise on Biscayne Bay. Splash down into the bay on a Miami Duck Tour or fly over the famous beaches, Art Deco district and downtown on a Grand Miami Air Tour. The view up here is even better as the sun goes down on a Miami Sunset Air Tour - especially when it's a romantic champagne flight. Miami is all about playing outdoors in the sun. Ride an airboat in the Everglades and come face-to-face with killer whales at the Miami Seaquarium, or mix with the wildlife on Jungle Island.

Start your three-day holiday with a swim with some of the Pacific's most charming residents. The Swim with the Dolphins program offers you the rare opportunity to swim and play with beautiful Pacific bottlenose dolphins. Finish the day with a sunset cruise. What better way to unwind after a day in paradise than to sail the Pacific under the magnificent sunset skies. Day two in Los Cabos begins with a wild ride over sand dunes. This ATV adventure will take you off the beaten track to explore secluded beaches, ride over sand dunes and challenge yourself to difficult terrain. These sand buggies can go just about anywhere and offer a ton of fun. Spend day three hiking the canyons of Sierra La Laguna.

If you’re in Vegas, you could always head out by car to see this scenic feat of engineering, but the best way to appreciate its scale is to see it from the air. There are numerous options. One of the most memorable will have you setting off at dusk, just as the lights of the Strip are asserting themselves against the darkening desert sky and the last of the day’s rays light up the dam and Lake Mead. A longer trip will take you to the area’s great natural wonder, the Grand Canyon, in a breathtaking 45 minute flight passing over the dam and landing in the canyon itself where you’ll enjoy a champagne picnic before heading back for a night of Vegas thrills. If you want to get more out of your desert adventure, head out in the afternoon for a helicopter flight which gives you great views of Hoover Dam before arriving at the Grand Canyon. “At”? I meant “in”. Yes, you’ll descend 1,500 feet (450 meters) down to the canyon floor.
