7 CRUCIAL THINGS

TO KNOW BEFORE

PLANNING A TRIP

TO HAWAII

You Can’t Drive Between the Islands

If you want to travel between islands during your vacation in Hawaii, you’ll need to island hop in Hawaii via airplane.

AVOID GOLDEN WEEK

The Golden Week is when people in Japan have 4 holidays off from work and they go to Hawaii for vacation.

Avoid the Golden week because it will be crowded and visiting Hawaii is more expensive.

Most Sunscreen is Illegal

Any sunscreen that isn’t reef-safe is banned from the Hawaiian islands. Only bring reef-safe sunscreen to Hawaii.

YOU'LL NEED A RENTAL CAR

The best way to travel in Hawaii is definitely driving on your own. So, make sure to budget a car rental for all (or at least most) of your trip to Hawaii.

rush hour is brutal

All the islands experience horrible traffic in the morning and at night. Keep this in mind when choosing where to stay in Hawaii.

Decide Between Condo or Hotel

Not only does Hawaii have some incredible luxury resorts, but there’s also a ton of options for condos or vacation rental homes throughout the islands.

You’ll Need to Bring Your Own Bags

Hawaii banned the use of plastic bags years ago.
