Which Hawaiian Island Should You Visit?

The white sands and lush mountains of Hawaii have already begun calling your name, but when it comes to starting the planning process, how do you know which island to visit? Although it seems like a pretty basic question, it's a problem that a lot of Hawaii visitors run into, especially since opportunities to visit paradise don't come along every day. A good thing to remember is that your choice isn't set in stone. Island hopping is not only easy but often budget-friendly as well. That way, you can still experience even more of the best things to do in Hawaii and maybe even enjoy the ultimate Hawaii itinerary. From family-friendly Oahu to ultra-romantic Maui, keep reading to learn which of Hawaii's unique islands suits you best.

Vacation Like a Pro

You may have heard about something called "island time" or "Hawaiian time" in your trip research. People drive with aloha in Hawaii, meaning horns are rarely honked and cutting someone off is a big no-no. It may take a bit longer to get service at bars and restaurants than you're used to back home. Your 8 o'clock concert may not start until well after 8:30. Our suggestion? Embrace it! You'll be surprised how freeing it can be to sit back, relax, and go with the flow.

Wear eco-friendly bug repellant and reef-safe mineral sunscreen to help protect the environment.

Regardless of when you're visiting, pack high-rated sunglasses—the UV index is exceptionally high in Hawaii.

Hawaii's rainy season extends from December through March, so waterproof gear is key.
