Hawaii Vacation Packages

We are proud to offer exclusive vacation packages, most with rates under $1,000. These packages include airfare, car rental, and hotel stay for six to eight days. Visiting different islands, or "island-hopping" as we call it, is highly recommended because each island has its own distinct "personality."

Tips on Finding Hawaii Vacation Deals

Save time and money by booking your rental car, hotel room, and airfare together and make planning your vacation easier.

How to Find the Cheapest Vacation Packages

Understanding Hawaii’s travel seasons will make it easy for you to book an affordable trip to the Rainbow State. With summer and winter being peak travel times for the islands, you can find vacation deals by booking during the “shoulder” seasons—spring and fall. Fortunately, Hawaii is just as beautiful and magnificent during fall and spring as it is in summer and winter, so aside from the cost of travel, nothing will change about your trip to Hawaii.

Should You Book an All-Inclusive Package?

Planning a trip is, what we call in Hawaii slang “humbug.” It’s a bother, a nuisance—even stressful. But it doesn’t have to be. By booking an all-inclusive vacation package, the hard work is done for you. Cars are rented, hotel rooms are booked and it can be cheaper to book a package versus booking everything ala carte.

Best Areas to Stay on Each Island

While there are no bad choices for places to stay in the islands—you are in Hawaii after all—there are some areas that are very well suited for travelers. Waikiki on Oahu has a variety of accommodations, malls and restaurants all dotting the golden shores of Waikiki Beach. On Kauai, Hanalei and Poipu are perfect for visitors who want to be close to the beach during their island stay—and in a similar vein, Kaanapali on Maui is a perfect blend of resort luxury and island living that will truly make visitors feel like they’re in paradise. On Hawaii Island, also referred to as the Big Island, both Kona and Hilo will provide travelers with convenient accommodations, activities and dining options.

The Top 3 Hotels and Resorts on Each Island

• Hilton Hawaiian Village
• Turtle Bay Resort
• Grand Wailea
• Kaanapali Beach Hotel
• Fairmont Kea Lani
• 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay
• Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa
• Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
• Fairmont Orchid
• Hilton Waikoloa Village

On Oahu, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, Turtle Bay Resort and the Halekulani reign supreme. Maui’s Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, Kaanapali Beach Hotel and Fairmont Kea Lani are popular choices amongst travelers. For Kauai, the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, The ISO and the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa are stunning accommodations that will make it hard to even leave your room—while on the Big Island you can’t go wrong staying at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection, Fairmont Orchid and Hilton Waikoloa Village.

Which Hawaii Island is Best for You?

Kauai’s picturesque Na Pali Coast.

For nature lovers and those who seek adventure, Kauai is a primordial playground full of epic hikes, stunning beaches and botanical gardens—it is the Garden Isle after all.

Oahu has a great mix of everything a visitor could want and is perfect for families with young children as there are more keiki (kid) friendly activities on the island.

Maui & the Big Island

Both Maui and the Big Island are great places for travelers looking to escape from their worldly distractions. Instead of waking up to traffic and city noise, on these islands, the soft sounds of birdsong and crashing waves will serve as your natural alarm clock.

Hawaii Travel Tips

You’ll want to hit the ground running—presumably to the beach!—once you’ve landed. Also be sure to pack a few jackets or hoodies along with your beachwear, as the islands typically has “passing showers” from time to time due to its tropical climate. Another major travel tip to remember is that, unless you’re staying on Oahu, you will absolutely need to rent a car to fully enjoy the best of each island, as public transportation options are limited on the out islands.

More About Hawaii Island

Hawaii Island has an incredibly diverse landscape comprised of multiple climate and sub-climate zones. Lush green flora and cascading waterfalls, arid desert and sandy beaches, rolling pastures and tall forests, meet alpine tundras and snow-capped peaks all in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This wild and untamed island is a natural masterpiece in motion.

To see the beauty of this island firsthand take a day trip along the visually stunning Hamakua Heritage Corridor stretching from Hilo to the Waipio Valley Lookout. Along the way stop and stretch your legs at the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, featuring more than 2,000 species of tropical plants from around the world. Then hop back in and make your way to Akaka Falls State Park, one of the largest waterfalls on the island. Continue north past scenic lookouts, sea cliffs, tropical rain forests, and plantation towns until you arrive at Waipio Valley Lookout. This road trip is a full-day adventure if coming from the Kona area but truly one worthy of the drive.

Nature at its mightiest can be witnessed by those who visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Located southwest of Hilo, this National Park is home to two volcanoes. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on earth and has been erupting since 1983, while Mauna Loa last erupted in 1984. Explore 150-miles of hiking trails through craters, rain forests, and deserts, or tour the museum, local petroglyphs, and a walk-in lava tube. Before heading out this way, check local conditions and park notices.

How to plan your perfect trip.

Hawaii Aloha Travel beats Online Mega Travel websites….Every Time!

Hawaii vacation packages, local hawaiian travel agency, booking hawaii vacations made easy, how can i choose the best hawaii vacation packages.

Hawaii is the perfect vacation destination for anyone. It’s not as exotic as taking a safari in Africa or going to Belize. Since it’s the 50th state, you’ll feel comfortable and not out of place.  Here are some tips to help you make important decisions.

Likely, you’ve taken many vacations in the past, so you should have an idea of what preferences appeal to you. For example, if you are an adventurer, choose a Hawaiian vacation experience that includes hiking, waterfall rappelling, or even some extreme sports. It really begins with you, but we are here to help. We can help narrow your preferences because you can’t do it all!

Trying to research the best vacation packages on the web is like going down a rabbit hole; it’s information overload! You can click forever and not get anywhere. One of the easiest ways to get started is to seek some help. Hawaii Vacations is all we do; we’re in Hawaii and have the experience and knowledge to help you create the best package to suit your needs.

Not all vacation packages are created equal. Typically, it’s best to choose one of our popular custom-tailored bundles, which include airfare, accommodations, transportation, and excursions. Our all-inclusive packages are set itineraries curated by our local experts, so you don’t have to do anything but show up!

When considering how much Hawaiian vacation packages cost, it’s important to consider your all-in budget. This means remembering to factor in things like meals, fees, incidentals, gas, and souvenirs! Many times, people overlook hidden costs and unexpected expenses.

Reviews are a great way to get a feel for vendors and how they respond to customers. However, they are subjective and often skew either too optimistic or too pessimistic, making it challenging to decide. We recommend using a professional like our company for feedback and recommendations. Since we’re right here in Hawaii, we have first-hand knowledge about all the elements and will ensure you choose the right vendors for your Hawaii Vacation.

Step-by-Step Procedure to Choose the Best Hawaiian Vacation Package:

• Start by deciding your dates and, realistically, how long you want your vacation to last.
• Set an all-in budget, remembering things like incidentals and gifts.
• Fill out our Hawaii Vacation planning tool and get advice from a professional in Hawaii.
• Evaluate the options you receive and discuss the pros and cons.
• Create a bucket list of activities you’d like to do, and then refine it based on the time you have available during your vacation.
• Choose a package that includes travel protection and allows for flexibility. Check for options that balance luxury experiences with cost.
• Read our reviews and check the credentials of our company or the one you choose to work with for your vacation.
• When booking airfare, pay attention to flight times and connections. Additionally, ensure you choose the correct airport. Often, people book cheap airfare and find themselves stranded at the wrong airport.
• Read the fine print. Ensure you review your documents and understand any cancellation policies. If you book with a company like ours, we provide a 24/7 emergency number to call in case something unexpected occurs during your travels.
• After you’ve chosen a package that interests you, contact us to discuss any modifications you’re contemplating. We’re eager to collaborate and adjust until we align with your vision. Together, we’ll ensure your Hawaii vacation meets your every expectation.
• Ensure you purchase “Cancel for Any Reason” travel protection. This type of insurance permits you to cancel, rebook, or obtain a refund. It’s invaluable should anything unexpected occur.
• After finalizing your package, discuss payment options, whether it’s a deposit or paying in full. We provide a “ book now, pay later ” option, allowing you to make incremental payments on your booking over time, without any credit checks or interest charges.

6 Best Hawaii All-Inclusive Resorts for Families

• Hawaii all-inclusive resorts are a bit different than what you might be used to if you’ve stayed at all-inclusive resorts in other destinations.
• Traditional all-inclusive resorts around the world include accommodations, activities, meals, and gratuities all in one rate.
• In Hawaii, the top resorts offer packages that bundle meals, activities, spa treatments, and sometimes even flights into a nearly all-inclusive Hawaii vacation experience.

Best All-Inclusive Hawaii Resorts

From the sand and surf of Oahu to the tropical and geologic diversity of the Big Island, it’s easy to see why Hawaii is one of the most popular family vacation spots in the United States. And while the best Hawaii all-inclusive resorts for families aren’t fully inclusive in the literal sense of the term, they do give you options to build your own all-inclusive-like experience, freeing you up to sit back and just enjoy the Hawaiian islands . Here are the top Hawaii resorts with inclusive packages. 

TOP PICKS: 15 Best All-Inclusive Family Resorts in the World

1. Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa

Oahu, hawaii.

Like the many other family resorts across the islands, Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa , isn’t technically a Hawaii all-inclusive resort. But this Disney resort on Oahu includes so many activities and amenities in its nightly rates that the experiential part of it certainly  feels  all-inclusive. Among the inclusions are nightly bonfires with storytelling overlooking the Pacific Ocean, resort walking tours packed with interesting tidbits about Hawaiian culture and the resort’s design, a craft and game room, ukulele lessons, Disney character experiences, a kids clubs, and live entertainment.

BEACH LIFE: 11 Best All-Inclusive Beach Resorts in the World

All told there are more than 30 included activities, enough to easily spend a week busy and happy without paying an extra dime on things to do. Of course, access to this nearly all-inclusive Hawaii resort’s beach, as well as its many countless pools, lazy rivers, two water slides, and splash pad is also included in the rate, as are the pool parties and dive-in movies hosted there. Like most Disney hotels and resorts , Aulani has thought of pretty much everything you might need or want on your Hawaii family vacation , including loads of dining options and restaurants for everyone in your group.

2. Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk

Located steps from world-famous Waikiki Beach on Oahu, the all-suite Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk offers a different kind of almost all-inclusive Hawaii experience that relies heavily on free perks. Stock up on groceries at a local supermarket and cook lunch and dinner in your spacious suite with a fully equipped kitchen, but leave breakfast to the resort—that’s on the house and includes a bountiful buffet each morning. Included in your $40 resort fee, Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk also hosts evening receptions with snacks, beverages, and often live entertainment. 

BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY: 15 Best All-Inclusive Resorts for Large Families

Other perks that are similar to an all-inclusive Hawaii experience include the Grand Lanai, where you’ll find a heated pool, whirlpool spa, children’s pool, and sun deck with cabanas and daybeds for lounging. Be sure to inquire about the hotel’s specials before you book , too. It regularly offers packages designed specifically for families, such as the “Stay Longer in Paradise” deal that offers 20 percent off five nights and the “Ocean Suite Deal” that gets you 25 percent off a four-night stay with an ocean view suite. Other packages may include upgrades or food and beverage credits. 

3. Royal Kona Resort

Big island, hawaii.

On the Big Island, Royal Kona Resort has offered all-inclusive resort pricing in the past, and is currently offering a number of vacation packages , including airfare-inclusive vacations that combine accommodations and flights in one discounted rate for a more inclusive Hawaii vacation experience. Additionally, Royal Kona Resort’s “ Added Value ” packages offer extra discounts along with more activities and dining options at reduced rates.

MAKE MEMORIES: 50 Best Family Vacation Ideas for All Ages

Examples include a car rental and parking package, a fifth-night-free deal, and a “Royal Experiences” package that includes daily breakfast for two and special-event perks like luau tickets and a dinner cruise. Once you arrive at Royal Kona Resort, you can take advantage of scheduled activities, a swimming pool and saltwater lagoon, and of course the nearby beach at no extra cost. (All beaches in Hawaii are public right of way.) And of course, no trip to the Big Island would be complete without a visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park , so be sure to make time for that on your vacation!

4. Hana-Maui Resort

Maui, hawaii.

For years, the secluded and relaxed Travaasa Hana resort offered a nearly all-inclusive Hawaii resort experience. A rebrand and update has turned that resort into the Hana-Maui Resort , a Destination by Hyatt Residence property. And while the appeal of the original resort remains (the vast and gorgeous property overlooking Hana Bay, for instance), there are no longer all-inclusive add-ons but rather a more traditional-for-Hawaii a la carte pricing structure for dining at the two main restaurants, the poolside bar, and the grab-and-go shop.

COUPLES RETREATS: 10 Most Romantic Mexico Resorts for Couples

The Hana-Maui Resort offers a variation on traditional air-inclusive packages as well. Its Plane to Paradise package, valid when you stay four nights or longer, will whisk you from one of Hawaii’s main airports (Kahului on Maui, Honolulu on Oahu, or Kapalua on Maui) to the resort’s perch along Maui’s east coast in a private 10-seat Cessna. The deal also nets you a dining and spa credit and two-day Jeep rental.

5. Residence Inn by Marriott Maui Wailea

While completely all-inclusive Hawaii vacations are elusive, there are other ways to simplify your family vacation on the islands. The Residence Inn by Marriott Maui Wailea not only has a central location near some of Maui’s best beaches and cafes, but breakfast is included and every suite has a full kitchen. So if the reason you want an all-inclusive Hawaii resort is to simplify your travels and keep your budget under control, this affordable spot on Maui’s southwest coast is tough to beat.

In addition to the complimentary breakfast (which is unusual in Hawaii), Residence Inn by Marriott Maui Wailea has a spacious outdoor pool and fitness center, on-site putting green, a local area shuttle, and grocery delivery service. All rooms have a furnished balcony, and there are one- and two-bedroom suites with the option of requesting adjoining rooms as well as the classic studio accommodation options. Additional special packages and perks are available to Marriott Bonvoy members, and the program is free to join.

6. Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows

Royal Kona Resort’s sister property on Maui, Royal Lahaina Resort is not a traditional all-inclusive resort, but like the Royal Kona Resort it has regular special offers that might include discounts, upgrades, and/or dining experiences that can add up to an almost all-inclusive Hawaii resort stay. Examples include the “High Five, Hang Ten” package that gives you a fifth night free and a resort credit to spend on shopping, spa, or beach activities; and the “Weekly Stay” offer that gets you a discounted rate and 50 percent off resort fees.

SMILES ALL AROUND: 10 All-Inclusive Resorts Even Teenagers Will Love

Royal Lahaina Resort is located right on the beach, where you can enjoy free access to sand and surf play, as well as beach rentals. Families also get complimentary access to three outdoor pools (two of which are oceanfront) and two hot tubs. With concierge service included, guests can get assistance planning off-property activities and can come back to free live music.

Editor’s note: Following the ongoing disaster relief efforts in the wake of Lahaina wildfire, Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows will reopen for reservations in May 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hawaii All-Inclusive Resorts

1) does hawaii have any all-inclusive resorts.

While many warm weather beach destinations do offer fully all-inclusive resorts (think Mexico , the Caribbean , and the Bahamas , just for starters), you won’t find fully inclusive resorts in Hawaii that cover all your food, drinks, tips, and activities at a single rate. But some Hawaiian resorts offer inclusive packages that make trip planning and budgeting a bit easier. 

SUNSHINE STATE: 7 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Florida

Some nearly all-inclusive Hawaii packages include accommodations and airfare along with water sports, beach access, and use of the resorts’ pools. Others include all those same amenities plus a breakfast buffet or golf course access. For the most part, though, you should plan to pay for your meals separately from your Hawaiian vacation package when staying at a Hawaii resort.

2) Does Honolulu have all-inclusive resorts?

Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, has several resorts that feature all-inclusive-style amenities. Embassy Suites by Hilton on Waikiki Beach sells inclusive package deals designed with families in mind. The resort also has kitchenettes and complimentary breakfast, activities, pools, nightly receptions with snacks, and live entertainment. 

3) Does Maui have all-inclusive resorts?

Maui has resorts that offer inclusive packages, but not the traditional all-inclusive rates you might find in other tropical destinations. Your best bet for an all-inclusive Hawaii resort experience on Maui is Royal Lahaina Resort , which sometimes offers airfare-inclusive packages with discounts on both airfare and room rates. Other frequently offered packages come with full American breakfast daily and other inclusive perks.

NO PASSPORT NEEDED: 21 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the U.S. for Families

The resort formerly called Travaasa Hana, which once offered the most truly all-inclusive resort experience on Maui, has rebranded as Hana-Maui Resort and no longer offers all-inclusive Hawaii deals.  

4) How much does the average trip to Hawaii cost?

The cost of a trip to Hawaii depends on factors like your total length of stay, where you’ll be flying from, which island you plan to visit, and the time of year you travel. Your choice of accommodations will also influence the cost. A budget hotel will obviously cost less than luxury lodgings, but according to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, the average nightly hotel rate is $264.

AT THE WATER’S EDGE: 12 Best Beach Resorts in the U.S. for Families

Plan to spend $50 to $200 per day per person for food. That’s a wide range and may depend on the amenities offered at your resort. If you want to rent a car for your family vacation , you’ll need to factor in the cost of the rental and parking fees as well. Finally, round-trip flights generally cost between $500 and $875, with cheaper airfare available from West Coast cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.

5) What is the best month to go to Hawaii?

Determining the best month to go to Hawaii really depends on your vacation goals. If you’re looking for the cheapest rates, you’ll want to pick a month in the fall, like September or October . Crowds are usually smaller during these months, so Hawaii hotels offer lower rates to attract visitors.

BEACH TIME: 10 Dreamy Beach Resorts in Florida That Are Perfect for Families  

If you have a specific activity in mind, you’ll need to do a little research. For example, if you want to see humpback whales frolicking off the islands’ coasts, go in February . If you want to go hiking on Kauai, go in the summer when the trails are drier and there’s more daylight. 

6) How much does an all-inclusive trip to Hawaii cost?

You won’t be able to book an all-inclusive Hawaii vacation in the traditional sense of the term, but you can bundle elements like flights, hotels, and dining packages into a single price for an almost-all-inclusive price at some resorts. The number of nights you plan to stay and the type of accommodations you choose will greatly influence the cost. If you want to stay at a luxury resort like Embassy Suites by Hilto n Waikiki Beach Walk on Oahu, for example, expect a higher per night cost than a budget hotel. You are paying for the location and inclusive resort amenities.

FAMILY VACATIONS: 19 Most Kid-Friendly Family Resorts and Hotels in the U.S.

Want accommodations that include a kitchen, but not necessarily looking to stay at an all-inclusive Hawaii resort? Search your favorite hotel booking sites for all-suite or condo hotels and resorts, as these type of accommodations typically have full kitchens and other useful amenities (think in-unit washers and dryers and bicycles for exploring) to help you save and have a genuine Hawaii all-inclusive resort experience.

7) Are there all-inclusive Hawaii vacations with airfare?

Some Hawaii vacation packages are considered “air-inclusive,” which means your airfare cost is factored into the total cost. On the Big Island, Royal Kona Resort frequently offers air-inclusive packages. On Maui, Royal Lahaina Resort offers air-inclusive promotions from time to time. The secluded Hana-Maui Resort on Maui (formerly called Travaasa Hana) frequently offers transportation from the major Hawaii airports to the resort via a private 10-seat Cessna.

8) What is the cheapest time of year to visit Hawaii?

The cheapest time of year to visit Hawaii is September and October . Hotel rooms tend to be least expensive between September and mid-December. However, you should expect higher rates during the week of Thanksgiving when many folks look to get away for a holiday. You can sometimes get great rates in June and July , but these may be last-minute bargains. Hawaii vacations are most expensive from mid-December through April .

9) When should you not go to Hawaii?

In terms of weather, there’s really never a bad time to go to Hawaii. The average daily temperature in the summer is 85 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter, the temperature is around 78 degrees. At night, expect these temperatures to fall by about 10 degrees.

SUN AND SAND: 10 Best Caribbean Family Resorts

Winter sees more rain than summer, but that’s not why you should avoid visiting between December and April. Instead, these months typically see the most tourists, so prices go up for all kinds of accommodations, including all-inclusive Hawaii resorts. If you’re looking for low-season rates, plan to go between late spring and early June, or between September and mid-December.   

10) What month has the best weather in Hawaii?

There is no bad time to visit Hawaii. However, it can be more humid in the wet season, and it’s a little hotter at the peak of summer. Therefore, the best months to visit Hawaii are April , May , September , and October . You’ll have more pleasant temperatures, less rain and humidity, and better rates since these months fall in the off-season.  

11) What is the rainy season in Hawaii?

Given its tropical locale, Hawaii has two seasons: wet and dry. The dry season occurs in the summer months, from April until October. The rainy season in Hawaii occurs during the winter months, with  November to March being the rainiest. As temperatures decrease, precipitation and clouds increase. This means you might experience some cloudy, gray days during your trip. Fortunately, Hawaii rarely experiences multiple days of cloud cover, so even during the rainy season, expect plenty of sunshine.

I’ve Lived in Hawaii Nearly All My Life — and These Are the Most Underrated Destinations in the Aloha State

From one of the only green-sand beaches in the world to the southernmost point in the U.S., these are the top places to visit in Hawaii, according to a local.

BackyardProduction/Getty Images

Hawaii has beckoned tourists away from their daily routines to experience paradise for years. Nearly 10 million people made the trek to the archipelago last year, a destination with a population of around 1.5 million. The Hawaiian islands offer accessible natural beauty throughout the year — from the mountains (known as mauka ) to the sea (called makai ). Think sun-drenched beaches with warm water, waterfalls hidden in rain forests, and sand in hues of white, black, and red. Perhaps what makes Hawaii so special to visitors is the spirit of aloha — a warm hospitality not found anywhere else — and a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries. 

Hawaii is one of the most coveted destinations in the world, but travelers often merely scratch the surface of what the state has to offer. As someone who grew up in Honolulu — a popular tourist stop — and resides there currently, I see it all the time, but I don’t blame them. Tourism has been significant in Hawaii for so long, it seems like everything has been touched by visitors. It can be hard to distinguish what’s worth the crowds and early mornings (to beat traffic) and what’s truly Hawaiian or local. 

Hawaii is more than meets the eye, and there’s a transformative experience awaiting visitors who want to go beyond the beaten path. If you’re looking to experience the spiritual power of the Aloha State's natural beauty and history, or see where the locals like to go , here are 10 underrated places to visit in Hawaii.

Waialae Avenue, Kaimuki

ozgurcoskun/Getty Images

Located a short drive from Waikiki, Waialae Avenue is the artery of Honolulu’s quaint Kaimuki neighborhood. The stores, restaurants, and coffee shops lining the street pulsate with energy. If you’re looking to purchase locally crafted goods, Waialae Avenue has you covered. In fact, there’s an entire movement dedicated to supporting the small businesses of the area, known as Keep It Kaimuki . I’ll typically start my day with a shaken iced latte concocted with locally sourced coconut syrup from Bean About Town before hitting some of my favorite stores like Da Shop , which carries books from Hawaii-connected authors, and browsing the creations of local fashion designers at Ten Tomorrow .

Stargazing Along East Oahu

Hawaii Tourism Authority/Dana Edmunds

If the skies are clear, you should make time for a nighttime adventure. My suggestion is to drive east out of Honolulu and into Hawaii Kai. Take the windy Kalanianaole Highway (carefully) to the Halona Blowhole parking lot, or all the way past Sandy Beach Park and stop along the beach. Away from the city lights, the stars and moon glow brightly across the vast sky. Aside from the beautiful view, stars hold cultural significance to Hawaiians — for centuries, they’ve been used for storytelling, ceremonies, and wayfinding by voyagers.

Yokohama Bay

People come to Hawaii for the beach , and while Waikiki may technically have one, it often feels too crowded to relax. For a true beach day, pack up some snacks and gear and head all the way west to Yokohama Bay. (Or, stop by Aloha Poke and grab a bowl of fresh rice and cubed ahi tuna to enjoy on the beach.) It’s the furthest west you can go on Oahu, and about a 1.-5-hour drive from Honolulu. Upon arriving, you'll be met with a wide stretch of golden sand that's surrounded by mountains. As long as there’s no northwest swell wrapping around the island, the turquoise waters are inviting. And since you’re facing the west, be sure to stay for the stunning sunset.

Lyon Arboretum

Douglas Peebles/Getty Images

The flora of Hawaii is part of the state's allure: vibrant flowers like the plumeria and hibiscus; big, green, Jurassic Park-like foliage; and tropical fruits like mangoes and papayas that flourish naturally. The islands' distinctive geography and diverse climates give rise to a rich array of plant life, including unique endemic species that are exclusive to Hawaii, like the spiky, silver ʻāhinahina. You can spend some time learning about Hawaii's flora by visiting Lyon Arboretum in Honolulu’s Manoa neighborhood. Comprising 194 acres and more than 6,000 taxa of tropical and subtropical plants, Lyon Arboretum is a research center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and an outdoor museum of living plants with a mission to conserve Hawaii’s rare and native plants. Guests can meander the hiking trails or check out the botanical gardens on their own or with a guided tour.

Nakalele Blowhole

The majestic power of Mother Nature can be seen throughout the islands, but Maui’s Nakalele Blowhole is one of the best places to witness that force up close. Getting to the blowhole, located on the northern part of the island, requires a windy and scenic drive along Honoapiʻilani Highway. The parking area offers a good vantage point for seeing the blowhole and its surrounding dramatic lava rock coastline — and humpback whales in the wintertime. The more adventurous can take a 20-minute hike down steep and rocky terrain to some tide pools, making sure to heed any warning signs along the way. Before embarking, make sure to check the tide is high; otherwise, there isn't enough water for the blowhole to erupt. If you’re lucky, there will be a local stand selling banana bread.

Petroglyphs at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawaii Tourism Authority/Tor Johnson

Perhaps one of the top attractions throughout the islands, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a dynamic, ever-changing landscape thanks to its active volcanoes. While the volcanoes may steal the show, there are other parts of the park that are worth visiting, too. One of those lesser-known spots is the Pu‘uloa Petroglyphs , with pu‘uloa meaning “long hill.” Considered a sacred place, this archaeological site has more than 23,000 petroglyph images, including geometric shapes, canoe sails, and other motifs representing the life of ancient Native Hawaiians. Visitors can take a short hike through a 500-year-old lava field and view the fragile petroglyphs from a boardwalk.

Wailua River State Park

Nestled into the lush rain forests of the aptly named Garden Isle, the Iraivan Temple is remarkable for a few reasons: The South Asian temple design features ornate white granite intricately carved without power tools in Bangalore and India and assembled together on Kauai. Having the Hindu temple in Hawaii is also unique, as it gives visitors and locals a rare chance to experience Hindu philosophies. The backdrop of the Wailua River Valley, where an adjacent waterfall flows and there are many shades of green, adds to the tranquility. Visitors to the temple must book a reservation for personal meditation and worship. Once you've tapped into your serenity, spend some time in Wailua River State Park , less crowded than Waimea Canyon. The free state park is full of hiking trails to waterfalls and stunning views. For an immersive experience, take a two-mile river cruise filled with Hawaiian songs and stories by the family-owned Smith’s Kauai .

Hamakua Coast

While the Kohala Coast gets lots of attention for its sunshine, pristine beaches, and array of resorts, the Hamakua Coast is Hawaii Island’s more rugged, verdant counterpart, with vibrant valleys and majestic waterfalls in a magical, rainy setting. Start your drive from Hilo via the Hamakua Heritage Corridor. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to stop at botanical gardens, waterfalls, and scenic outlooks. You’ll likely hit some crowds at the more popular spots like Rainbow Falls and Waipio Valley Lookout, but if it’s your first time to the island, these locations are still worth a visit. I recommend stopping for lunch and a tour at Hawaiian Vanilla Co. , a small, family-owned farm that offers vanilla-themed dishes and a tasting tour. The drive ends in the agricultural town of Waimea, and if you don't stop for lunch at the vanilla farm, grab a burger at Village Burger Waimea, where the beef is as fresh and local as possible.

Hawaii Island offers travelers the chance to visit Ka Lae , the southernmost point in the U.S. Holding much cultural significance, Ka Lae (or “the point” in Hawaiian) is believed to be where the first Polynesian voyagers landed in Hawaii and one of the earliest settlements on the islands. Evidence of the ancient Hawaiians remains there to this day, including an ancient fishing shrine, marked by stone walls and a platform where fish was once prepared. To get there, drive to the end of South Point Road in Naʻalehu on Hawaii Island until you reach the 69 and 90 mile markers. You’ll be perched atop high cliffs where the ocean crashes below. Once you finish reveling in this sacred space, head over to Papakolea Beach, one of just four green-sand beaches in the world.

Hanalei Pier

Hanalei Pier is a must-visit spot on Kauai . Walk out onto the pier, where local kids like to jump off, and soak in the sweeping vistas of the bay, veiled in rain clouds and teeming with vibrant greenery. Hanalei is my favorite surf spot, where the cold river water meets the warm, salty sea. If you’re not experienced, you can always sit and watch people ride the waves, called heʻe nalu in Hawaiian. While in Hanalei, combine your visit with some responsible tourism and leave Hawaii better than when you arrived.

You can volunteer at the Waipā Foundation , a living learning center that perpetuates Hawaiian values and stewards more than 1,600 acres of land. Every fourth Saturday of the month, the public is welcomed to help take care of the land — whether reforesting native plants or restoring a fishpond — in an action called malama 'aina .

More About Kauai

Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands and the leader of the group. Perched in the northwest corner of the chain, Kauai keeps a watchful eye on the other islands. Given the age of the island, the landscape has had centuries to establish its unique look and attributes — one of the most visually stunning being the Napali Coast.

The dramatic northern shore is something out of the movies. Seventeen miles of coastline adorned with sea-cliffs, emerald valleys, waterfalls, sea caves and isolated beaches are best viewed by air or by sea. The upscale resort area of Princeville and seaside village of Hanalei are located in this region and offer a laid-back home base that's perfect for exploring.

To the east is the famed Coconut Coast. The towns of Wailua and Kapaa are the most populated areas on the island. Don't let that deter you, life on the island is slow when compared to the hustle and bustle of Oahu. An outdoor enthusiast's paradise, this area offers plenty of hiking and kayaking opportunities as well as golden beaches for sunbathing.

The Poipu resort area anchors the southern shore of Kauai. The warm golden sands and championship ocean side golf courses make this a great place to stay on the island. During the late winter through early spring, pods of migrating humpback whales call this region home.

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
• Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
• Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
• Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
• If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
