Summer is the best season to experience the world's beauty. Here are some of the best destinations that you can't afford to miss in the world.
Maui , Hawaii
Maui is a volcanic island. If you love snorkelling, you must see the rainbow of coral and tropical fishes. Stay the day in the park and witness its wonderful sunsets. The island consists of a few micro-climates and weather varies drastically depending on where you are. The tropical weather can even vary day-to-day with extremes such as sunshine and thunderstorms, so pack accordingly.
Corsica t France
This small island, also called the “isle of beauty”, displays astonishing natural landscapes. Shocking cliffs drop sharply down to clear waters which elsewhere are fringed（帶邊飾的）with sandy beaches. Plan at least a week in Corsica to discover its secrets!
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Bora Bora is popular with tourists for its luxurious resorts（度假勝地）. One of the best hotels is the five star Four Seasons hotel. Surrounded by beaches of white sand and blue water protected by a coral reef, it is a really nice place to snorkel and dive. The most impressive sight of the island is in the center of Mount Otemanu where there is a sleeping volcano.
Saint John Island, Caribbean
Life moves at a slower pace on Saint John Island. The National Park covers more than half of the island. With countless bird, dolphin and turtle species to spot, it's no surprise that this is a destination that draws nature lovers. Peace and quietness are abundant, making this an island where relaxation is always on the agenda（議題）.
