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 Diamond Head crater on Oahu, offering panoramic coastal vistas. On the Big Island, Volcanoes National Park, with its active Kilauea volcano and volcanic landscapes, is a must-see. The Na Pali Coast on Kauai, with its dramatic cliffs and lush valleys, is breathtaking, accessible by boat tour or challenging hike. Finally, the Road to Hana on Maui, a scenic drive with waterfalls and lush rainforests, is a classic Hawaiian experience.
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 popular option is island hopping: Oahu for history and city life (Pearl Harbor, Waikiki Beach), Maui for beaches and relaxation (Kaanapali Beach, Haleakala National Park), and Kauai for natural beauty (Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon). A two-week trip allows for a more relaxed pace, exploring each island thoroughly. A shorter trip might focus on just one or two islands.
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 is during the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October). These months offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices compared to the peak summer months (June-August). Winter (November-March) can bring rain, especially in the northern islands, but also offers the chance to see whales migrating.
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?
Merrie Monarch Festival (Hilo, Big Island) is a major celebration of Hawaiian culture, featuring hula competitions. The Aloha Festivals (statewide) are a series of events celebrating Hawaiian culture and heritage. Many smaller, local festivals celebrate specific aspects of Hawaiian life and traditions throughout the year, often tied to agricultural cycles or religious observances.
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-roasted pork), and poi (a starchy paste made from taro root). Shave ice is a classic Hawaiian treat, and you'll find many variations of loco moco (a hamburger steak, rice, egg, and gravy) across the islands. Fresh seafood is abundant and delicious.
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, offering tranquil beauty and diverse plant life. On Kauai, the secluded beaches of Mahaulepu Heritage Trail offer stunning coastal views. On Maui, the Pools of Ohe'o (Seven Sacred Pools) in Haleakala National Park are a hidden gem (check for safety advisories before visiting).
What are some authentic ways to meet locals and discover their traditions in Hawaii, United States?
Attend a luau for a taste of traditional Hawaiian food, music, and dance. Take a lei-making workshop to learn a traditional craft. Consider visiting local farmers' markets to interact with local producers and learn about Hawaiian agriculture. Participating in a cultural tour led by a native Hawaiian can offer deeper insights.
What should visitors know about the weather and natural risks in Hawaii, United States?
Hawaii's weather varies by island and elevation. Be prepared for sunshine, rain, and wind. Natural risks include volcanic activity (primarily on the Big Island), flash floods, and strong ocean currents. Always check weather forecasts and heed any warnings from local authorities. Respect the ocean and its power.
Are there any special items you’ll need when travelling to Hawaii, United States?
Pack light, breathable clothing suitable for warm weather and possible rain. Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, especially for hiking. A reusable water bottle is recommended to stay hydrated. Insect repellent may also be useful, especially in lush areas.
