5. Maui, Hawaii
Out of all of these adventure destinations, Maui is on par with them all. The topography, from the island’s volcanic past, in many eyes is the epitome of beauty. Travelers looking for a serene location should trek to Violet Lake. Capping a beautiful hike, a real experience in Hawaii, with a dip in a pristine lake seems as close to perfection as you can get. The lush forestation that lines each trail grandiosely encapsulates hikers walking through.
