For the survey, each island's trail offerings were assessed in terms of quality and quantity. For example, to determine quality, average trail length, safety, climate conditions, and accessibility were all considered. Certain travel metrics were also taken into account, such as average nightly room rates and the number of online searches for trails on that particular island. Afterwards, each of the 20 destinations included in the survey was assigned a Hiking Quality Index score.

You likely don't need to be convinced that Hawaii is one of the most extraordinary places on the planet. The dramatic canyons and coastlines, tropical beaches and forests, world-famous waves, make-your-heart-melt wildlife, and make-your-heart-stop sunsets all provide plenty of evidence. But with around 200 hotels (plus additional bed and breakfasts and vacation rentals) across the islands, you might need some help choosing the best place to stay.

One of the most well-known spots is Sarakiniko Beach, which is famous for its lunar landscape - a series of smooth, white, volcanic rock formations that resemble the surface of the moon. I recommend renting a car to explore Milos by land, but don't skip a boat trip around the island as well - some of the best swim spots are only accessible from the water. Several tiny fishing villages also add a unique factor to this island.
