The Allure of Hawaii
Hawaii is a chain of 137 islands, but the majority of tourists flock to the eight main islands: Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Each island possesses its distinctive charm and characteristics.
The concept of ‘mana’—the spiritual energy believed to be present in all things—makes Hawaii a destination that resonates on both physical and emotional levels. In the following sections, we’ll delve into what makes each of these islands unique and how to make the most of your Hawaiian get-away.
Planning Your Visit
When to Go
The best time to visit Hawaii is somewhat subjective and depends on what activities you wish to participate in. The peak season generally spans from mid-December to March, coinciding with winter breaks and holiday travel. If you’re looking to dodge the crowds and still enjoy pleasant weather, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons: mid-April to June and September to mid-December.
Accommodations
Hawaii offers an array of accommodations to fit varying budgets, from luxury resorts and boutique hotels to vacation rentals and budget-friendly hostels. While resorts in areas like Waikiki and Maui provide all-inclusive amenities and beachfront access, rental properties can offer a more localized experience, often featuring kitchens for those who wish to prepare their own meals.
Cuisine: A Fusion of Flavors
Hawaiian cuisine, often viewed as a fusion of local and global influences, features unique flavors and ingredients. Essential dishes to try include poke (marinated raw fish), loco moco (rice, hamburger patty, fried egg, and gravy), and shave ice (a refreshing dessert). Local farmers’ markets can be found throughout the islands, offering fresh produce and handmade goods—ideal for those wanting to sample local flavors or enjoy a picnic on the beach.
Engaging with Culture and Nature
One of the joys of visiting Hawaii is engaging not just with its stunning landscapes but also with its rich culture. Participating in traditional experiences, such as hula lessons, lei-making workshops, or even attending a Hawaiian chant session, can deepen your appreciation for the islands and their inhabitants. Additionally, respecting the environment is crucial; practice mindfulness to protect the fragile ecosystems and wildlife of these islands.

The dormant volcanic crater at Haleakala offers a wide variety of hiking choices for you.

19. ROAD TO HANA TOURS
One of the top things to do on Maui is driving the Road to Hana. The 51 miles of Hana Highway start in Kahului (where the airport is) and travel past the hippie surf town of Paia, through the rainforest, and into the town of Hana on Maui’s eastern coast.
Because the road to Hana has over 600 hairpin turns, many of them blind corners, driving non-stop can take up to three hours!
Hana Highway winds through rainforests and along towering ocean cliffs, and traverses more 50 one-lane bridges!
You’ll want to factor in ample time to stop at overlooks, waterfalls and a famous black sand beach.
Prepare to drive slowly as you’ll likely be navigating around lost tourists (this may be you).
Also adding time to the drive is sharing the road with local traffic as residents make their way to and from work. Plan for an eight- to ten-hour day of white-knuckled sightseeing – but it’s totally worth it.
20. HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK
Hana was the site of several ancient battles by invaders from the Big Island. It was occupied by Big Island chiefs in the 1770s.
Sometime in the early 1780s Hana was besieged by King Kahekili in a surprise attack.
The village of Hana was usually defended from ocean invasions, but the wise warrior king sent his troops through Haleakala Crater to attack from the mountains above.
Today over one million people visit the park each year – and not just for sunrise.
This expansive national park not only encompasses a 7 mile long, 3 mile wide, nearly 2,600 ft deep crater, but spills down the slopes over the eastern crater rim through the Kipahulu Valley to the Pools of Oheo along the road to Hana.
21. LUAUS IN MAUI
Experiencing a Maui luau during your Hawaiian vacation is a must.
Aside from the fantastic Hawaiian food including the main course of a whole hog cooked in an imu (underground oven), the live entertainment will have you tapping along with the beat.
Music and dances stemming from the traditions of several countries of Oceania including Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, and New Zealand, provide guests with an entertaining way to learn about the many island cultures that migrated to Hawaiʻi hundreds of years ago.
22. THE BEST MAUI SNORKELING TOURS
Surrounded by over 120 miles of pristine coastline and boasting over 75 officially named beaches, the island’s waters are just another reason Maui no ka oi!
Explore the vibrant underwater world that surrounds Maui.
Venture just below the ocean’s surface through a snorkel adventure, and you will see the state fish, the humumunukunukuapuaʻa, green sea turtles, and other tropical fish of all colors and sizes!
Just a short distance off Mauiʻs coast is the islet of Molokini.
This world-renowned island is a designated marine conservation district located off Maui’s southern tip.
Molokini Island is a submerged crater of a dormant volcano and is now home to hundreds of species of tropical fish, many of which are not found in any other place on earth.
Accessible only by boat or ocean raft, Molokini Crater can be booked as an out-and-back afternoon trip or made to include other snorkel stops and coastal cruises along the way.
Whether you choose to snorkel off a beautiful Maui beach shore or take a boat trip to the outskirt island, a Maui snorkel adventure will be the highlight of your vacation!
23. THE BEST MAUI OCEAN ACTIVITIES
No trip to Maui is complete without some ocean adventure. You can choose to be on a boat or in the water – or both!
Packages range from private canoe and kayak tours to the magic of a romantic sunset dinner sail.
Family-friendly activities can include a harbor snorkel adventure with guaranteed dolphin sightings and playtime on water slides.
Bring the kids to a three-day surf camp for an experience they will never forget or book individual lessons for the whole family.
Consider an all-in-one Eco Tour – an all-day trip including kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking!
An afternoon West Maui snorkel cruise to see the famous Hawaii honu (sea turtle) in quiet coves is a must on everyone’s list.
Start with some pupus (appetizers), then hop on board a comfortable and fully equipped snorkel boat for an afternoon coastal cruise.
Add another destination to your trip with a snorkel adventure to the shores of neighboring Lanai Island and exclusive access to the Hulopo’e Marine Preserve.
Whatever the ages and interests of your group, there are abundant water adventures.
Your Hawaii vacation needs plenty of ocean time, from short trips to day cruises on sailboats, outriggers, or surfboards; your Hawaii vacation needs plenty of ocean time!
24. SOUTH MAUI TOURS
Experience the road less traveled. Traverse through verdant country side, jagged lava fields and expansive pasture.
Then arrive at Haleakala National Park & The Pools of ‘Oheo. Here we embark on a 4-mile hike through the famed Bamboo Forest.
Marvel at a 200 foot and 400 foot waterfall and surround yourself by the towering thickets.
Along the way we learn about indigenous plants and non-native species. Witness the crashing waves and mouth of the river before departing on the Road to Hāna.
Taste seasonal exotic fruit & vegan coconut ice cream. Swim at Pailoa Bay Black Sand Beach then sit back, relax and enjoy the dramatic and scenic coastal drive featuring many more waterfalls, cliffs, bluffs & bays.
25. WEST MAUI TOURS
The island of Maui can be separated into three distinct and equally fascinating districts: Haleakala, Central Maui, and Iao Valley.
Although Haleakala volcano takes up more than three quarters of the island of Maui, all three districts have their own unique features that visitors to Maui should not miss.
Like all of the volcanoes in Hawaii, Haleakala is a shield volcano, meaning that it is created by lightweight lava that is able to spread over a wider area of surface land creating a shield-like shape.
This is a dormant volcano with a stunning 7-mile wide depression area at the summit inhabited only by barren lava formations called lava cones.
This depression at the summit was once thought to be the location where demigod Maui caught the sun and forced it to slow its progress across the sky. Although Haleakala is still active, it has not actually erupted since the 1600’s.

This is especially true on the island’s southern coast near the city of Kona, home to beautiful, pristine waters.
For the ultimate snorkeling experience, make your way to the state’s only underwater state park, Kealakekua Bay*.
32. HIKING ON THE BIG ISLAND
Like all of the Hawaiian Islands, the Big Island is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream.
With a plethora of waterfalls, trails, and even the world’s tallest mountain, it’s no wonder that hiking is so popular here.
And much like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, the hikes on the Big Island can take you through volcano craters to green sand beaches, or even towards the stars.
Highlights include Kilauea’iki Trail through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Pololu Valley hike with views of black sand beaches and dramatic cliffs faces.
33. BIG ISLAND SIGHTSEEING TOURS
Known as the Big Island, the Island of Hawaiʻi is, well, big! The island continues to grow every year as lava from the Big Island’s active volcano extends its reach into the ocean.
As the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, there’re plenty of things for visitors to see and do: stargazing, horseback riding, visiting historic cultural sites, golfing, hiking, and participating in a variety of eco-adventures.
The island’s duplicitous terrain features the world’s tallest mountain, Mauna Kea, and the currently active Kilauea Volcano in Volcanoes National Park, which is popular with visitors looking for a one-of-kind Hawaii experience.
The island also has multiple climates resulting in many different landscapes island-wide.
From rainy, lush Hilo, up the mountain to the cooler temperatures of Waimea, to the deserted black flats of Kona, the scenery on the Big Island is far from mundane.
34. HILO TOURS
Have an adventure as you traverse down the Umauma River. First, rappel down the 250-foot cliffside.
Free-rappel past a cave into the water below. Then let the river take you down to the site of a 100-year-old dam.
Take a swim in the pooling waters before continuing to 2 more waterfalls! Hop rock to rock until you reach a natural water slide.

36. BIG ISLAND VOLCANOES

37. HELICOPTER TOURS ACROSS HAWAII
Few activities are more thrilling than seeing the beautiful Hawaiian islands from the above on a Hawaiian islands helicopter tour.
Helicopter tours are one of the most popular things to do in Hawaiʻi because there are so many areas that you just can’t see any other way.
Hidden waterfalls in misty clouds, sweeping views of an entire side of the island, and unique perspectives of the ocean and reefs mean that your helicopter tour will be remembered as a once-in-a-lifetime highlight of your Hawaiian vacation for years to come.
Maui is known as the “Valley Isle” because of its two mountain ranges.
The West Maui Mountains have hundreds of valleys encircling its highest point, the second wettest place on earth.
The valleys leading from this peak are loaded with some of the highest waterfalls on the island.
However, they are rarely visible from Maui’s roads. The only way to get a good view of them is from a helicopter.
The Hawaiian Islands helicopter tour from West Maui can also include a flight across the channel to the island of Molokai and its thousand-foot high ocean cliffs!
Another spectacular landscape of valleys and waterfalls is Haleakala.
The northeastern slopes have hundreds of waterfalls cascading through the jungle forest valleys along the Hana side.
There are dozens above it and often a few farther down each valley for every waterfall you see along the road to Hana.
From the air, it’s truly stunning how many waterfalls there are – with some even cascading into the ocean!
Add to this the beautiful beaches and shorelines, and it’s easy to see why Helicopter tours are so popular on Maui.
We have several flight times and routes to choose from that will help you choose a great air tour that’s perfect for you and your family’s time and budget!
