Insider tips from our Hawaii travel experts to help you plan the perfect island getaway.
🏝

Choose Your Island Wisely

Each Hawaiian island has a distinct personality. Maui is great for couples, the Big Island for adventure, Kauai for nature lovers, and Oahu for first-timers and nightlife.

🚗

Rent a Car

A rental car is essential on most islands to explore beyond the resort area. Book early, especially during peak season, as cars can sell out completely.

🌞

Reef-Safe Sunscreen Only

Hawaii law prohibits sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate to protect coral reefs. Bring reef-safe mineral sunscreen or buy it locally.

💰

Book Activities in Advance

Popular activities like snorkel tours, helicopter rides, and luaus sell out weeks ahead. We recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks before your trip.

🌊

Respect the Land

Hawaiian culture deeply values the land and ocean. Practice responsible tourism by staying on marked trails, not touching wildlife, and following local guidelines.

💉

Travel Insurance Recommended

While Hawaii is domestic, travel insurance covers trip interruptions from weather events, flight cancellations, and medical emergencies in remote areas.
