A lot of thought and care needs to be put into planning a trip to Hawaii. Of course, that is why we recommend using a travel advisor (me)! However, there are some things to keep in mind as you go into the planning process, then during the trip. So, let’s dive in.
Do you want to stay on one island or island hop? As you’d imagine there are pros to each. Single-island itineraries are easier and less hectic. Hopping helps if want to see as much of the state as possible in one trip.
What island fits your style? The most frequented islands are Oahu, Maui, the Big Island of Hawaii, and Kauai. Each has a unique culture, history, landscape, vibe, and things to do. Think about what’s important to you, and we can help match you with the right one!
Have a budget. Your trip will likely have a lot of components – air, hotel, transportation, activities, and food. Try to come into the planning process with a number in mind. It will help in creating an itinerary that meets your needs.
Book well in advance. Flight(s) and hotel(s) are the most crucial part of the trip and need to be booked ASAP. Pricing for both is subject to change and is usually based on supply and demand. So, the earlier the better!
Plan activities in advance. Do NOT wait until you’re in the destination to book tours and excursions. Put together your must-do list and purchase. Again, the sooner the better as things fill quickly!
Knowing what to pack. Think about your trip and what it involves. Sure, it’ll mostly be attire that is relaxed, but if you’re planning a lot of tours and activities, like hiking, you’ll want to come prepared.
Transportation. Likely a rental car will be recommended. If you don’t want to drive, park, sit in traffic, etc., we can work around it. Transfers and rideshare options can always be discussed.
Hopefully, these tidbits were helpful as you consider traveling to Hawaii. It’ll help keep these things top of mind as we go into the planning process and certainly as you’re getting ready for the most exciting part – the trip itself!
