Anchored like jewels in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific, the six islands of Hawai’i are different and unique. Varying in size and perhaps the tally of ancient historic sites, they do however all boast wonderful panoramic views at every turn; verdant rainforests to explore; fantastic snorkelling and surfing; and superb scenic trails - all wrapped up in a fantastically warm Hawaiian welcome.
Just how much you see and do on holidays in Hawaii is entirely up to you. It's quite possible simply to relax on a white sand beach day after day, slipping into the water whenever the mood strikes before easing into ocean-side cocktails at sunset. But if you want to see the sights, then there are plenty to see - everything from volcanic lava flows to hidden valleys, coastal cliffs and sacred temples. If you’re thinking this would be a great destination for a honeymoon, you’d be right. Hawaii is often ranked as one of the best honeymoon spots in the world
You'll want to get a taste of Hawaiian culture during your stay as well, and highlights like the Polynesian Cultural Centre offer a fascinating insight into the history and traditions of the islands. Plus you can experience hula dances and sample traditional dishes like a plate lunch (meat with rice and macaroni salad) almost everywhere you go.
Then there's the modern face of Hawaii to enjoy too - Honolulu with its shops, galleries and night-life, as well as pulsating Waikiki Beach. Picking an island has never been harder. Let Hawaii Happen.

Hawaii Highlights & FAQs
Hawaii Highlights & FAQs
Hawaii Highlights & FAQs
BREATHTAKING BEACHES
All the islands are ringed by fantastic beaches, often backed by spectacular emerald mountains or waterfall-strewn cliff faces. It's one of the undoubted plus points of holidays in Hawaii and each stretch is different - from shallow lagoons perfect for snorkelling, to Oahu's North Shore surfer hang-outs, where the ground shakes as nine-metre breakers pound the shore.
CULTURE
The diverse culture of Hawaii is expressed in language, music, art, theatre, dance, film, cuisine, and a multitude of festivals. At the core of each is the spirit of aloha, gracefully conveyed in a painter’s brush stroke, in the fluid arc of a hula dancer’s hands, or in the soft rhythm of a slack key guitar. Warmth, open-hearted generosity, and passion tempered by gentle humour are the primary elements of aloha that distinguish – and unify – the individual components of Hawaii’s Art & Culture. Find yourself at a sunset Luau on the shores of Hawai’i and soak up the traditional atmosphere.
SUPERB SCENERY
There are countless fantastic views to be had across Hawaii. Many are accessible by car, including Maui's famous Road to Hana; but using your feet offers up the best rewards. The Kalalau Trail along Kauai's Na Pali coast is unparalleled for its vistas of sheer cliffs and secluded valleys; and Big Island's Waipi'o Valley has spectacular waterfalls.
VISIT A VOLCANO
Hawaii has several dormant volcanoes, and Oahu's Diamond Head crater delivers great views over Waikiki and Honolulu, while a trip up Maui's lofty Haleakala to catch the sunrise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But Big Island has active Mauna Kilauea, and offers the chance to watch molten lava pouring spectacularly into the ocean.
TOWN & COUNTRY
Besides stunning scenery, Hawaii has some lovely laid-back seaside resorts, historic towns, and an exciting capital in Honolulu. Hilo on Big Island has centuries-old wooden storefronts, shops, and cultural sites; Maui's Lahaina, an old whaling village, is a hot-spot for historic buildings; peaceful Hanalei on Kauai does galleries and culture; and Honolulu has just about everything, including fantastic restaurants, shopping and night-life.
HEAVENLY HONEYMOONS
It’s hard to go wrong when you’re looking for a honeymoon in Hawaii. The deep blue water, the pristine beaches, the Aloha spirit… Romance is everywhere you look. There are also some stunning luxury hotels and resorts to choose from. Enjoy a pampering spa day, explore the unique underwater ecosystem together or sit and watch the sun set from the privacy of your beachfront balcony.
The best Hawaiian island to visit depends on your interests, travel goals, and the type of experience you're looking for. There are six major Hawaiian islands, with each offering something unique.
Oahu is often considered the best island to visit for first time Hawaii travellers due to its stunning blend of natural beauty and urban experiences. The island of Hawai’i (or Big Island) is the largest and is where you will find active volcanoes. But if your preference is for something a little smaller and remote, Molokai and Lanai offer a great mix of seclusion, traditional Hawaiian culture, and luxury resorts. Kauai, nicknamed ‘The Garden Isle’ is perfect for nature lovers with lush greenery all around, whereas those after a bit of adventure will appreciate the epic surf of Maui.
If you need help planning your Hawaii island holidays, our experts can put together bespoke itineraries suited to your holiday needs.
Yes, the majority of UK visitors will need to apply for an ESTA before heading to Hawaii. These applications must be completed no less than 72 hours prior to travel and can be done through the government website or the free ESTA mobile app.
Please be advised that those without the proper travel authorization may be denied boarding or admission into the US. Ocean Florida cannot be held liable for passengers denied entry to the US.
The UK is 11 hours ahead of Hawaii in the spring and summer months and 10 hours ahead when the clocks go back in Autumn. Keep this time difference in mind when booking flights and planning your communication with home while on holiday. But if you need to get in contact with us, don’t worry, we have 24/7 support for all your needs abroad.
Hawaii is a year-round destination with warm weather throughout the year. However, the best time to visit depends on your preferences regarding weather, crowds, and prices. The dry season runs from May to October, with August and September typically being the hottest months. The busiest time is towards the end of December through January with people seeking warmer climates and during this time prices hike up.
Absolutely! We definitely recommend ticking off a few destinations whilst in Hawaii. Many travellers hop between islands to experience the diverse landscapes and attractions each offers.
You can easily take inter-island flights, which are frequent and affordable. Better yet, Ocean Florida also offers a range of multi-centre itineraries, from a 13-day Maui, Kauai, and Oahu package to 15 days in Oahu and Kailua-Kona, all with flights and accommodation included.
The ideal number of days in Hawaii depends on how many islands you plan to visit and the activities you want to do. For a single island, five to seven days is typically enough to explore the major attractions and relax. If you’re visiting multiple islands, seven to 10 days allows time for island hopping, with a few days on each island. This gives you enough time to enjoy both popular and off-the-beaten-path spots without feeling rushed.
