About Islands

Islands' vision began in 1981 as a print publication with heavy emphasis on Caribbean and Hawaiian islands, as well as destinations in Japan, Tahiti, Fiji, and countless other locales. Over time, Islands' mission changed, broadening our focus to simplifying travel planning and empowering you to navigate the world with confidence and ease. Whether it's a romantic escape to a tropical destination, a solo excursion to a national park, or embarking on an unforgettable family cruise, we take the guesswork out of the planning process and offer guidance for every step of your next big dream vacation.

We believe great travel experiences should be accessible to all. That means bringing you inspirational tips, travel hacks, destination guides, and budget-friendly advice whether you're a seasoned traveler or setting out on your first adventure. Additionally, our impressive roster of experts bring their first-hand experience to Islands, giving you the most informed and well-rounded articles on all things travel.

Our editorial team writes from an inclusive perspective, weaving in a diverse range of experience levels and backgrounds. However, there's one thing we all share in common: a deep passion for exploring new horizons, uncovering hidden gems, connecting with fellow travelers, and creating lasting memories.
