Frequently asked questions about hotels in Hawaii
What are the best landmarks to visit in Hawaii, United States?
Hawaii boasts incredible landmarks! For iconic views, you can't beat the Diamond Head crater on Oahu, offering panoramic coastal vistas. On Maui, the Haleakala National Park is a must-see, with its stunning sunrise views from the volcanic crater. The lush Na Pali Coast on Kauai, accessible by boat tour or hiking the Kalalau Trail, is breathtaking. Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island showcases active volcanoes and dramatic lava flows. Each island offers unique geological wonders.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Hawaii?
Most of the hotels and resorts in Hawaii fall under the four-star category and come with a swimming pool. Of course, if you want luxury, you'll find plenty of five-star hotels and resorts, and for something more budget-friendly, three-star hotels and bed and breakfasts are abundant in Hawaii. We can help you find the best deal on the hotel that meets your needs the best.
What is the best itinerary to experience Hawaii, United States?
There's no single 'best' itinerary, as it depends on your interests and time. A common approach is island hopping. A possible 10-day itinerary could include 3 days on Oahu (exploring Honolulu and Waikiki), 3 days on Maui (exploring beaches and Haleakala), and 4 days on the Big Island (Volcanoes National Park and Kona). Alternatively, you could focus on one island for a more in-depth experience. Consider your priorities: beaches, hiking, volcanoes, culture – this will shape your ideal plan.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Hawaii?
Many people say "Maui is the best," as it's the perfect middle ground between bigger Oahu and the quieter, country life of Kauai and the Big Island. Oahu is great if you need access to big city life, while Big Island is great if you're looking for a diverse landscape. On the other hand, Kauai is ideal if you want to hike and immerse yourself in nature.
What is the best time to visit Hawaii, United States?
The best time to visit generally falls during the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October). These months offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds and lower prices than the peak season (December-March). However, weather can be unpredictable, so it's always advisable to check forecasts closer to your travel dates. The summer months (June-August) are hot and sunny, but also busy.
The most popular way to get around Hawaii is with a car, so if you're planning to rent, make sure you book a car in advance. Transportation varies between islands, and a good way to explore them is by taking bus tours. Alternatively, you can get around by shuttle, taxi, a ride-sharing app like Uber or Lyft, or take the local bus. If you want to island-hop, then you can fly between the islands, and in some instances, take the ferry.
What popular festivals can you find in Hawaii, United States?
Hawaii hosts many festivals throughout the year. The Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo, Big Island, is a significant celebration of Hawaiian culture, featuring hula competitions. The Aloha Festivals, held across various islands, showcase traditional Hawaiian music, dance, and crafts. Many smaller, local festivals celebrate specific communities or events across the islands throughout the year. These vary year to year.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Hawaii?
Hawaii is pretty much as close to paradise as you can get, so it's tempting just to spend your trip lying on a sandy beach, but there is so much more to explore on the islands. For example, you can explore the Hawaii Volcanos National Park, go whale watching in Maui, circle the island of Oahu on tour, discover the history of Pearl Harbor, or travel on the spectacular road to Hana.
What traditional local food should you try in Hawaii, United States?
You absolutely must try poke (marinated raw fish), kalua pig (slow-roasted pig), poi (a starchy paste made from taro root), and loco moco (a rice dish topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg, and gravy). Shave ice is a refreshing local treat. Many restaurants offer modern twists on traditional dishes, blending Hawaiian flavours with international influences.
The dishes from Pacific Polynesian islands influence traditional Hawaiian cuisine, but today it's a melting pot of other cuisines due to the islands being home to a diverse demographic of ethnicities. Some dishes to try include poi, a thick paste made from taro root with a sticky, pudding-like consistency. Laulau is another dish to try, made with pork wrapped in layers of taro leaves and cooked in an underground hot rock until it becomes soft and smoky. And, of course, there's poke, a Hawaiian type of sashimi.
Are there any unknown or hidden places that should be on your list in Hawaii, United States?
Beyond the well-known spots, consider exploring the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden on Oahu for tranquil beauty, or the secluded beaches of Polihale State Park on Kauai. The Waipio Valley on the Big Island offers stunning views and hiking opportunities, though access can be challenging. Many smaller, less-visited beaches across the islands offer a more peaceful experience.
What are some authentic ways to meet locals and discover their traditions in Hawaii, United States?
Attending a luau offers a glimpse into Hawaiian culture, with traditional food, music, and dance. Taking a lei-making workshop or a hula lesson provides hands-on cultural immersion. Exploring local farmers' markets allows interaction with local producers and offers insights into the community. Conversations with staff at smaller, locally-owned businesses can often lead to interesting interactions and recommendations.
What should visitors know about the weather and natural risks in Hawaii, United States?
Hawaii's weather varies by island and elevation. Expect sunshine and warmth, but also potential for rain showers. Volcanic activity is a risk on the Big Island (Volcanoes National Park), requiring awareness of safety guidelines. Ocean conditions can be unpredictable; heed warnings about strong currents and riptides. Sun protection is crucial; apply sunscreen regularly.
Are there any special items you’ll need when travelling to Hawaii, United States?
Pack light, breathable clothing suitable for warm weather and potential rain. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential for sun protection. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, especially if you plan on hiking. Insect repellent can be useful, particularly in more lush areas. A reusable water bottle is recommended to stay hydrated.
