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've got Diamond Head crater on Oahu, offering panoramic coastal vistas. On Maui, the Haleakala volcano is a must-see, especially for sunrise or sunset. The Na Pali Coast on Kauai is breathtaking, with its dramatic cliffs and lush valleys, best explored by boat tour or hiking the Kalalau Trail (permit required). Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island showcases active volcanoes and unique volcanic landscapes like the Thurston Lava Tube.
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 ideal itinerary to experience the best of Hawaii, United States?
An ideal itinerary depends on your interests and time. A two-week trip could involve exploring Oahu (Honolulu, Pearl Harbour, Waikiki), Maui (Haleakala, Road to Hana), and Kauai (Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon). A shorter trip might focus on just two islands. Consider focusing on specific activities like hiking, water sports, or cultural experiences to tailor your itinerary. Booking accommodations and tours in advance, especially during peak season, is highly recommended.
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 depends on your priorities. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds and lower prices than the peak season (December-March). Summer (June-August) is warm and sunny but can be more humid and crowded. Weather can vary significantly between islands, so research specific island conditions before you go.
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 renowned celebration of Hawaiian culture, featuring hula competitions. The Aloha Festivals, held across various islands, showcase Hawaiian music, dance, and food. Many smaller, local festivals celebrate specific cultural events or harvests throughout the 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?
Definitely try poke (marinated raw fish), kalua pig (slow-cooked in an underground oven), 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 treat, and you'll find many variations on these dishes across the islands, each with its own unique twist.
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. On Maui, the Pools of Ohe'o (Seven Sacred Pools) offer stunning natural pools (currently closed for repairs, check status before visiting), and the Waipio Valley on the Big Island is a dramatic, lush valley accessible by 4WD vehicle or on foot.
What are some authentic ways to meet locals and discover their traditions in Hawaii, United States?
Attend a luau for an immersive cultural experience with traditional food, music, and dance. Take a lei-making workshop to learn a traditional craft. Visit local farmers' markets to interact with vendors and sample local produce. Consider staying in a bed and breakfast or a locally owned hotel for more opportunities to connect with residents.
What should visitors know about the weather and natural risks in Hawaii, United States?
Hawaii's weather is generally tropical, but it can vary significantly depending on the island and elevation. Expect sunshine, warmth, and humidity, but also potential for rain showers. Be aware of volcanic activity (especially on the Big Island), strong ocean currents, and the potential for flash floods, especially during heavy rainfall. Always check weather forecasts and heed any warnings from local authorities.
Are there any special items you’ll need when travelling to Hawaii, United States?
Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sunscreen (high SPF), a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes. Insect repellent is also advisable. If you plan on hiking, bring appropriate gear, including sturdy footwear and rain gear. A reusable water bottle is essential to stay hydrated.
