We love each of the islands and have put together a helpful tool for you to make the right choose. Let us guide you through Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Lanai, and Big Island!

Oahu

Oahu is the main hub of the Hawaiian Islands and is home to the famous Waikiki Beach and fabled North Shore. There are shops and restaurants all over the island for those who like a bit of night life. It is also a great destination for movie fanatics as many projects have been filmed on Oahu. Don’t forget about adventures! The island is full of hikes and snorkel spots.

Kauai

Kauai Island is outdoor lovers’ paradise! With far fewer visitors to the island, Kauai maintains that quiet island lifestyle where you’re sure to escape from the hustle and bustle. The outdoor adventures never cease on Kauai! Grab a paddle board and head up a river to a secret waterfall, fly over dramatic peaks unreachable by ground, hike the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, or take a sunset dinner cruise along the Napali Coast.

Maui

Maui is a beach bum’s heaven! There are beaches of every color on this island: red, black, green! There are secret, secluded swimming holes and bamboo forests. You could spend every day of your trip on a different beach and never get bored. Head up above the clouds on the tallest mountain on Maui to watch sunrise or star-gaze.

Lanai

Lanai is your private island! The island is not far from Maui, but escapes the tourists. Lanai is so relaxing and untouched. You can swim with dolphins in the morning, drive a Jeep all over the island, and do some of the best snorkeling!

Big Island

The Big Island is almost an entirely different world from the other islands! This island is home to the volcano and covered in lava fields! The lava fields make for some gorgeous black sand beaches. The island is so expansive that you have rolling green hills, tropical rain forest, beach towns, valleys, and much, much more!
