WHERE TO GO IN HAWAIʻI

Each of the Hawaiian islands has its own distinct character, from whale watching on Maui to the dramatic volcanoes of the Island of Hawaiʻi, and it’s well worth visiting two or three different islands. Why not combine a few days on lively Oʻahu with a relaxing break on the quiet island of Kauaʻi and the spectacular beauty of the Island of Hawaiʻi’s volcanoes and rainforests for the ultimate Hawaiʻi holiday experience?

Live Pono

O‘ahu & Kaua‘i
Length of Trip: 8 Nights Itinerary

This trip can be packed with hands-on experiences and feel-good island charm. Start on Oʻahu, where you can join a luau, learn to make a lei or even try fire dancing. Walk through Waimea Valley, explore the lush trails of Kualoa Ranch, and perhaps pick up a bounty of tasty treats at local farmers’ markets. Then fly to Kauaʻi, where dramatic cliffs, quiet beaches and jungle-filled parks set the scene. Why not cruise the Nā Pali Coast, visit Haʻena State Park, and hear stories of old Hawaiʻi at the Menehune Fish Pond? Put living pono (a Hawaiian philosophy about acting with integrity and good intentions) at the heart of this trip, which encourages a thoughtful and respectful way to explore.

Rainbows and Rainforests

Maui, Island of Hawai‘i & Kaua‘i
Length of Trip: 11 Nights Itinerary

This self-guided adventure hops across three Hawaiian Islands, with time to explore each at your own pace, picking where you go, what you see and when. Start on Maui, where lush valleys and volcanic peaks flank coast-hugging highways. Chase waterfalls, leave your footprints on black sand beaches, and catch a sunset from a cruise or a sunrise from Haleakalā’s summit. Then it’s off to the Island of Hawai’i, where rainforest meets lava flows. Stay near Hilo, explore Wailuku River State Park, and don’t miss Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Finally, slow it right down on Kaua’i. Cruise the Nā Pali Coast, visit Waimea Canyon and soak up the peace on the Coconut Coast.

Volcanoes to Beaches

Island of Hawai‘i & Maui
Length of Trip: 8 Nights Itinerary

This suggested itinerary splits your time between two of Hawai’i’s most iconic islands. Four days on each would help check off the must-sees, but every Kuoni trip is tailored to allow you the freedom to explore to the beat of your own drum. Your time is free on both islands to choose your own adventure. Begin on the Island of Hawai’i, where volcanic landscapes meet lush rainforest. You could drive through Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, hike the Devastation Trail and see the ancient petroglyphs at Puʻuloa. Fancy going higher? Arrange a guided trip to Maunakea’s summit locally. Then take a 40-minute flight to Maui, where beaches, snorkelling in Molokini Crater, and sunrise views from Haleakalā pinky-promise unforgettable optional adventures.
