Sensuous and intense, rugged and majestic, this extended journey seeks the rarest pearls in North America’s Pacific Ocean. From the serenity of Vancouver in Canada’s British Columbia to the Hawaiian Islands, we slip amongst wonders and waters that redefine our words for desire.

When the sun is high, we catch the first glimpse of Hawai’i, which is the proper name for the Big Island. Birthplace of Kamehameha the Great, this island reigns supreme for its five volcanos, deep canyons, plummeting waterfalls and Kona coffee. Take a cardio-hike through Volcano National Park. Walk to Akaka Falls that plummets some 422 feet (128 meters) to spring forth a multitude of misty rainbows. Or hop a helicopter to hover active Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanos. Oahu welcomes us to Honolulu and the sugary white shores of Waikiki Beach. Imagine chauffeured shopping safaris or champagne toasts atop Diamond Head. Enjoy a private tour of Pearl Harbor and the Punchbowl Crater that cradles the National Memorial Cemetery. An overnight allows time for a traditional Hawaiian Luau, a folkloric celebration that tells the story of Hawai’i before high-rises and hotels. The island of Maui leaps from the sea in an epic display of beauty. This “valley isle” features 17 sub-climate zones ranging from tropical forest to desert.

Venture atop Haleakalā, where the demigod, Maui, tried to harness the sun or forest-bathe in the Eden-like utopia of Hana. Tee off at the world-class Wailea Golf Club or take a fast boat to the Molokini caldera to snorkel inside its sunken crater. As glamorous as a movie set, Kauai is perhaps the most picturesque island. From the dramatic 4,000-foot-high (1,200 meters) Na Pali Coast State Park to 3,600-foot-deep (1,090 meters) Waimea Canyon, a geological masterpiece that is alien in such a lush landscape. Under an azure-and-gold sun, we return to Vancouver where the downtown Stanley Park refreshingly leaves you feeling miles away from civilisation.
