Papeete is the capital city of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The commune of Papeete is located on the island of Tahiti, in the administrative subdivision of the Windward Islands, of which Papeete is the administrative capital. The French High Commissioner also resides in Papeete. It is the primary center of Tahitian and French Polynesian public and private governmental, commercial, industrial and financial services, the hub of French Polynesian tourism and a commonly used port of call. The Windward Islands are themselves part of the Society Islands. The name Papeete means "water from a basket".

The urban area of Papeete had a total population of 136,771 inhabitants at the August 2017 census, 26,926 of whom lived in the commune of Papeete proper.

The island was formed as a volcano 1.5 to 2.5 million years ago, the result of a Society hotspot in the mantle under the oceanic plate that formed the whole of the Society Archipelago. It is theorized that the current bays were formerly river basins that filled during the Holocene searise.

Mo'orea is about 10 miles in width from the west to the east. There are two small, nearly symmetrical bays on the north shore. The one to the west is called 'Ōpūnohu Bay, which is not very populated but many travelers have come into the bay. The main surrounding communes of the bay are Piha'ena in the east and Papetō'ai to the west. The one to the east is Cook's Bay, also called Pao Pao Bay since the largest commune of Mo'orea is at the bottom of the bay. The other communes are Piha'ena to the west and busy Maharepa to the east. The highest point is Mount Tohi'e'a, near the center of Mo'orea. It dominates the vista from the two bays and can be seen from Tahiti. There are also hiking trails in the mountains. The Vai'are Bay is another small inlet, smaller than the two main bays, on the east shore. This bay has been settled a lot and has a lot of business. The main village is located just south of the bay.

Honolulu is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi. It is an unincorporated part of and the county seat of the City and County of Honolulu along the southeast coast of the island of Oʻahu. The city is the main gateway to Hawaiʻi and a major portal into the United States. The city is also a major hub for international business, military defense, as well as famously being host to a diverse variety of east-west and Pacific culture, cuisine, and traditions.

Honolulu is the most remote city of its size in the world and is the westernmost major U.S. city. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau recognizes the approximate area commonly referred to as "City of Honolulu" (not to be confused with the "City and County") as a census county division (CCD). Honolulu is a major financial center of the islands and of the Pacific Ocean. The population of the Honolulu census designated place(CDP) was 359,870 as of the 2017 population estimate, while the Honolulu CCD was 390,738 and the population of the consolidated city and county was 953,207.

Honolulu means "sheltered harbor" or "calm port". The old name is Kou, a district roughly encompassing the area from Nuʻuanu Avenue to Alakea Street and from Hotel Street to Queen Street which is the heart of the present downtown district. The city has been the capital of the Hawaiian Islands since 1845 and gained historical recognition following the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan near the city on December 7, 1941.

As of 2015, Honolulu was ranked high on world livability rankings, and was also ranked as the 2nd safest city in the U.S. It is also the most populated Oceanian city outside Australasia and ranks second to Auckland as the most-populous city in Polynesia.

Klify wyrzeźbione przez czas, porośnięte szmaragdową zielenią, oraz lazurowe fale Oceanu Spokojnego tworzą zapierający dech w piersiach krajobraz dostępny jedynie wzdłuż Wybrzeża Na Pali, Kauai. To miejsce jest niedostępne samochodem — można się tam dostać tylko pieszo, łodzią lub z powietrza, co czyni je wyjątkowo atrakcyjnym dla tych, którzy szukają ciszy i dzikiej przyrody. Każdy zakręt tego surowego wybrzeża opowiada starożytne historie Hawajów, zachowane w dziewiczych dolinach i ukrytych plażach.

Na Pali to nie tylko pomnik przyrody, ale prawdziwa przygoda. Szlak Kalalau o długości 18 km uważany jest za jeden z najbardziej malowniczych, ale też najtrudniejszych w USA. Widoki z klifów są niesamowite: wodospady, kaniony i turkusowe morze. Miłośnicy aktywnego wypoczynku znajdą tu coś wyjątkowego, a ci, którzy wolą komfort, mogą wybrać się na rejs wzdłuż wybrzeża.

Kailua-Kona to malownicze nadmorskie miasteczko położone na zachodnim wybrzeżu wyspy Hawaje (znanej także jako Wielka Wyspa). Słynie z słonecznej pogody, spokojnych wód oraz bogatej historii — kiedyś była rezydencją króla Kamehamehy I, pierwszego zjednoczyciela wysp hawajskich. Promenada Alii Drive biegnąca wzdłuż oceanu oferuje spacery wśród historycznych budynków, sklepów, kawiarni i plaż z czarnym wulkanicznym piaskiem. Jedną z głównych atrakcji jest kościół Mokuaikaua — najstarszy chrześcijański kościół na Hawajach, zbudowany w 1820 roku.

Kailua-Kona jest popularnym miejscem wśród miłośników nurkowania i snorkelingu: w okolicznych wodach można zobaczyć manty, żółwie morskie i kolorowe tropikalne ryby. Niedaleko znajduje się Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park — starożytne sanktuarium, które dawało schronienie łamiącym prawo kapu. Miasto jest również miejscem startu słynnych zawodów Ironman World Championship. To idealne miejsce dla tych, którzy szukają równowagi między naturą, kulturą i aktywnym wypoczynkiem.

Victoria is the capital city of the Canadian province of British Columbia, located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada's Pacific coast. The city has a population of 85,792, while the metropolitan area of Greater Victoriahas a population of 367,770, making it the 15th most populous Canadian metropolitan area. Victoria is the 7th most densely populated city in Canada with 4,405.8 people per square kilometre, which is a greater population density than Toronto.

Victoria is the southernmost major city in Western Canada, and is about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from British Columbia's largest city of Vancouver on the mainland. The city is about 100 km (60 mi) from Seattle by airplane, ferry, or the Victoria Clipper passenger-only ferry which operates daily, year round between Seattle and Victoria, and 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Port Angeles, Washington, by ferry Coho across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and, at the time, British North America, Victoria is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The city has retained a large number of its historic buildings, in particular its two most famous landmarks, Parliament Buildings (finished in 1897 and home of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia) and the Empress hotel (opened in 1908). The city's Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco's. The region's Coast Salish First Nations peoples established communities in the area long before non-native settlement, possibly several thousand years earlier, which had large populations at the time of European exploration.

Known as "The Garden City", Victoria is an attractive city and a popular tourism destination with a thriving technology sector that has risen to be its largest revenue-generating private industry. Victoria is in the top twenty of world cities for quality-of-life, according to Numbeo. The city has a large non-local student population, who come to attend the University of Victoria, Camosun College, Royal Roads University, the Victoria College of Art, the Canadian College of Performing Arts, and high school programs run by the region's three school districts. Victoria is popular with boaters with its rugged shorelines and beaches. Victoria is also popular with retirees, who come to enjoy the temperate and usually snow-free climate of the area as well as the usually relaxed pace of the city.
