Hawaii

Archive for the ‘hawaiian vacation’ Category

My wife and I want to plan a trip to Hawaii for this June, but we have never been anywhere in that state. Where do we need to go (which island)? Any suggestions on hotels/resorts or activities to do while there? Here are the activities and qualities that are most appealing to us.

romantic atmosphere, not a lot of very young children around, maybe a nice spa experience, possibly a trip to scenic locations like waterfalls or volcanoes, a nice beach

Any suggestions? Any places that we should eliminate from consideration? All input is appreciated. Thanks.

Kauai is the best island for you based on the activities and qualities you mentioned. I’ve been to Oahu and Maui as well, but liked Kauai the very best for scenery, hiking, uncrowded and absolutely beautiful. It’s easy to drive to the various scenic spots. Some roads are narrow and one lane over bridges so don’t expect to drive fast and you really won’t enjoy the scenery if you do.

I’m going to Hawaii in Feb, and want a cute pair of sandals. I was thinking about getting these, but just wanted a second opinion…so what do you think of these sandals?

i like them… they’d match anything, and they seem comfortable– i think you should make sure they’re comfortable though b/c you’ll be walking in them a lot.

You’d better not depend on it. One of the best ways to get the best rates to Hawaii is to consult with a travel agent BASED in Hawaii.

the best beaches and more senic Island.

For first time visitors I always recommend Oahu. You can branch out from there.

Oahu has the must see Pearl Harbor. But the real answer is do not go all that way and only see one island. I would recomend the cheapest package to Oahu to see Pearl (Take the boat tour, anyplace you can get a free meal in HI is a good idea.) and then move on to Maui or the big island. The cheaper rooms off the shore by a few blocks are fine in Waikiki. You will be walking all around anyway.

Do the free orientation early the day after arrival… you will be up anyway. If you do not want to see their sales pitch, grab a bus or cab back to your hotel. Buses are a big deal there and cheap. One of those orientations is where we learned of the surf being up when we first arrived and spent a day watching the nuts ride the Bonsai pipeline. We even stopped at the Dole plantation. All of that was unplanned and totally fun and not expensive. Rental cars are cheap for the day, and not needed for a few days in Waikiki. You can rent right there in town.

Maui is very pretty, but for a first visit see the big island.

Kona is so cool, and lots cheaper than you may think. The locals use Aloha Air like a taxi to go back and forth so why not you?

The landing on the big island in the giant black lava field is worth the trip alone.

Any fishermen? Kona is where they catch the "Granders". Those are marlin over 1,000 lbs. And they are caught within sight of shore. Lots of them displayed too.

Go get some real Kona coffee…And see the Macadamia nut plantation…YUM

Go to Hilo, one of the rainiest places on earth, and by all means do not miss the volcano. Yes the lava is still running, and the ground is hot. It is super cool.

You will want a car on HI. Wish I was going again.

We at Hawaiian Journeys offer unique and affordable vacation experiences, by using alternative structures known as Yurts.

Our Yurts, located on the big island of Hawaii, allow for more space and a vacation experience you’ll want to share with others. The Yurts are fully furnished with queen beds, refrigerators, microwaves and more. It’s like camping with all the comforts of home.

Ok, so due to starting a new job this year I can only take vacation between September 27th and October 19th (can’t leave before the 27th, and have to be back at work on October 20th).
I would like to go to Hawaii, and hear that really any time of year is ok for there.
I’m planning on taking about 7 days, fly out a Friday night/Saturday Morning and be back by a Sunday.

Now I’ve never been, and have no clue which island to stay on. As well I doubt I’ll be able to have any of my friends take time off at the same time so I’ll be going on my own.
I’m a 29 year old guy, and would like suggestions on where to go and what to do there. Maybe somewhere that works well for young single people to hang out with other folks so being on your own doesn’t matter so much.
Any help would be appericated.
Thank you.

You might want to try connecting with a tour group that will allow you to join in on sightseeing trips, horseback/biking trips, boating/sailing trips, that sort of thing, but will also give you the freedom to explore on your own. Maybe there’s a travel forum or web site with other people looking for traveling companions that you might hook up with after you arrive in Hawaii.

You might want to visit two or more of the islands while you’re there. They’re all quite different and there’s something to see and do on each one.

Oahu is the main island and the city of Honolulu is just like any other American metropolis. 90% of the state’s population is on Oahu. Lots of historic places, lively nightlife, lots of shopping, some of the best beaches on the island…but it’s not easy to get very far from the city, traffic, people, planes, congestion, etc. as it used to be.

The outer islands are much more rural. Molokai is probably the least developed of the islands and it can be a real time warp. The "big island" of Hawaii has the volcanoes and in my opinion some of the most beautiful countryside. Maui has nice beaches and an impressive dormant volcano and a lot of outdoor activities. Kauai is the oldest island and has a lot of natural wonders and lush rain forest.

For a seven day trip, I’d say plan 4 or 5 organized activities and spend the rest of the time wandering around, swimming, sunning, relaxing on the beach.
