Its six major islands are: Hawaii (Big Island), Maui, Oahu, Lanai, Molokai, and Kauai.
Blessed with some of the most stunning sands in the world, the Hawaiian Islands boast an array of beaches to suit every traveller. And if there’s one thing on everyone’s Hawaii bucket list, it’s beaches. Alongside towering mountain peaks, mysterious volcanic craters and flourishing rainforests, there is also a thriving hub of nightlife and unique tourist attractions that keep visitors coming back again and again.

Hawaii Highlights
A trip to Hawaii is a feast for all the senses. Dine on its exquisite, Asian-inspired foods, dance its ancient hula routines, and take in its otherworldly landscapes, which will transport you to heaven on earth.
Dramatic Scenery
Hawaii’s incredible and diverse landscape is instantly recognisable, from its rocky promontories and lush mountain peaks to its golden swathes of sand and its rugged volcanic craters. It’s no wonder that these islands of striking natural beauty are the backdrop for many Hollywood films and TV series. You can rent a car and drive some of the most scenic coastal routes in the world or book a boat or helicopter tour and see the full scope of the islands’ splendour from a distance.
Fabulous Beaches
The beaches in Hawaii are the true definition of paradise and if you close your eyes and picture the perfect beach, you’ll end up here. Miles upon miles of golden sands are edged by turquoise-blue waters and flanked by swaying palm trees, while its jet-black volcanic beaches are equally as captivating and provide the perfect backdrop for a Pacific Island holiday. From the bustling tourist vibes of Oahu’s Waikiki Beach to the tranquil lagoons and unspoiled coves of the smaller islands, there’s a beach to suit everyone in Hawaii.
World-class Shopping
Much like the famed outlet shopping in Orlando, Hawaii has its own fair share of excellent malls and retailers where you can pick up designer clothing for a fraction of the original price – you may need to bring an empty suitcase for all those bargains. And if luxury shopping is more your thing, then Ala Moana Center in Waikiki will be your mecca!
Rich Culture
Steeped in history and deeply spiritual beliefs, Hawaii observes many traditional customs through music, dance, arts, and cultural practices, and is proud to share them with its visitors. There is a profound connection with the land, the ocean and the natural world that shapes these magnificent islands, running through everything from the food, the landmarks and everyday life. Dive in and absorb the magical culture of Hawaii, whether it’s a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center, witnessing a fiery hula performance at a beachside lū’au, or taking a trip to one of its many sacred ancient sites.

Our Hawaii Favourites
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
This UNESCO World Heritage site located on Hawaii’s Big Island is home to two of the world’s most active volcanoes: Kīlauea and Maunaloa. Spanning more than 330,00 acres, this vast national park is open year-round, 24 hours a day and boasts diverse landscapes to explore including lush rainforests, rugged lava fields, deep craters, and ash-coated deserts.
Walk or take a day hike through one of the park’s abundant wilderness trails and discover magnificent sights like caves where a river of lava flowed 500 years ago, unique biodiverse forests, and recovering landscapes from volcano eruptions past. If your Hawaii twin-centre holidays involve renting a car, take one of two scenic roads in the park: Crater Rim Drive and Chain of Craters Road. Come prepared with bottled water, raingear, and sturdy shoes as there are multiple stops to get out and explore, and no food, water, or fuel en route.
USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor draws more than 2 million visitors per year and is Hawaii’s most popular attraction, playing a vital role in understanding American war history. The USS Arizona Memorial is a National Historic Landmark and sits atop the eponymous sunken WW1 battleship, making for a fascinating trip full of history, intrigue, and pride.
A 75-minute tour begins with a navy shuttle boat transfer to the memorial – located on Ford Island – where there is a video presentation and plenty of time to walk through the various rooms to reflect and pay your respects.
Maui Ocean Center, The Aquarium of Hawaii
Understandably, Hawaiians are passionate about the ocean and the marine life and ecosystems that surround these unique islands. The Maui Ocean Center is a place for the whole family to explore, learn, and be captivated by a world of beautiful exhibits and experiences.
Check out the amazing 3D Sphere theatre that uses state-of-the-art technology to get you up-close to magnificent humpback whales, or the peaceful turtle lagoon habitat and its graceful green sea turtles. And for a shot of adrenaline, keen divers can take the plunge with the incredible cage-free shark dive experience – if you dare!
Polynesian Cultural Center
For a dose of enchanting Pacific Island culture, this is a must-visit attraction on Oahu twin-centre holidays. Discover its six dedicated island villages across 42 tropical acres and join natives as they showcase arts, crafts and long-standing traditions from Tonga, Hawaii, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Fiji, Samoa, and Tahiti in a range of wonderful presentations and performances.
In the evening, watch a royal lū’au and taste extraordinary Polynesian flavours in the delicious accompanying buffet, including pan-seared local fresh fish or steamed fish wrapped and cooked in traditional ti leaves. Then sit back and enjoy a fiery show of song and dance by more than 100 performers from around the Pacific – this is how you do multi-centre holidays, Hawaii style!
Waikiki Beach
Oahu’s legendary Waikiki Beach is a crescent-shaped expanse of golden sand and turquoise-blue waters, presenting the place for surfing, snorkelling, and swimming on the island. As well as being a recreation hotspot with cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues lining the famous Waikiki Beach Walk.
If your Hawaii multi-centre holidays take you to Oahu, consider staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach hotel; as the largest resort hotel on the beach it’s ideal for families, with activities and amenities all geared towards the kids. Friday nights play host to the resort’s weekly fireworks on the beach, so make up a picnic and grab a spot on the sand to watch this gorgeous nighttime display!
Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve
Another of Oahu’s wonderful beaches is Hanauma Bay, located on the southeastern coast of the island near the small town of Hawai’i Kai, and just a 30-minute drive from Honolulu. This scenic spot is one of the top places to snorkel on the island due to its abundance of colourful marine life, which includes more than 400 species of fish alone!
Its striking curved bay is set within a nature reserve that was formed by a volcanic crater and has been one of the most visited beaches on the island for decades. Post-pandemic restrictions mean there is a fee to use the beach; fewer visitors are allowed in each day to protect its fragile coral reefs, making it feel wonderfully isolated.
Punalu’u Black Sand Beach
Hawaii’s constant volcanic activity means that its beaches are not always pristine white sands but also striking jet-black expanses. Punalu’u Black Sand Beach is one of Hawaii’s most famous and offers an extraordinary sight on any Big Island twin-centre holidays.
Let the pitch-black grains of sand run through your fingers and marvel at the fragments of old lava that make up this beautiful beach. Take care when swimming and snorkelling here, particularly if you’re travelling with children as the currents can be strong – don’t forget that dark sands can get extra hot under the sun and water shoes are advised!
Sunset Beach
Set on Oahu’s famed, seven-mile-long North Shore, this gorgeous beach is one of the largest stretches along the coastline. Enticing pro surfers with its unbeatable waves and surf breaks each winter, it’s a great spot to watch these incredible athletes in action, while the summer months bring much calmer waters for swimming and snorkelling. Sunset Beach – known locally as Paumalū – provides a fantastic base for an entire day of beachside fun and as the day draws to and end, you’ll be treated to out-of-this-world sunsets!
Mākena Beach
Mākena Beach is located on Maui’s southwestern shoreline and is considered one of the island’s signature beaches. With its sugar-white sands extending two-thirds of a mile long – and more than 100-feet wide in some places – it’s one of Maui’s largest and most beautiful undeveloped stretches of sand.
As with many of Hawaii’s beaches, the surf can get rather choppy, so always exercise caution when out in the sea. This, however, makes the waters prime spots for bodysurfing and bodyboarding if you’re keen to get some watersports action into your multi-centre holidays in Hawaii.
Ala Moana Center
Shopping in Waikiki is an essential part of Hawaii multi-centre holidays and there’s no better place than the Ala Moana Center, the world’s biggest open-air shopping mall and a popular tourist destination in itself.
The mall boasts more than 300 retail stores and high-end department stores, selling everything from classic Hawaiian shirts and surf gear to designer labels. There are also more than 80 restaurants on-site and an array of musical events and entertainment, offering visitors a whole day of fun and retail enjoyment. And for an extra dash of culture, stick around until 5pm each day to watch the electrifying hula performance on Centerstage or the adorable children’s Keiki Hula Show on Sundays at 1pm!
Waikele Premium Outlets
If you’re after a bargain or two, then Waikele Premium Outlets is the place to be. Situated around 15 miles west of Honolulu, this is Oahu’s best place to shop for designer and brand name clothing such as Coach, Ralph Lauren, and Levi’s with discounts of up to 65% off – just make sure you allow plenty of room in your suitcase for the journey home! Its on-site, open-air food pavilion means you can spend hours here browsing or buying, with sustenance in between. There are several easy ways to reach the mall, including by car, bus, shuttle bus or even by booking a tour through your hotel.
Aloha Stadium Swap Meet Marketplace
For a more authentic Hawaiian shopping experience, head to the vibrant Aloha Stadium Swap Meet, located just 20 minutes from Waikiki. This buzzing flea market is open each Wednesday and every weekend with more than 400 stalls selling arts, crafts, and vintage wares.
You can pick up Polynesian-style bags, handmade jewellery, and unique artwork from local vendors for excellent prices (but feel free to haggle), while the local food stalls offer local produce and fresh fruit full of flavour such as succulent mango, pineapple, and papaya!
Whalers Village
Maui also has fabulous shopping, most notably the wonderful Whalers Village is set right on the oceanfront in Ka’anapali. With one-of-a-kind retail stores, heaps of food outlets from fast food to full table service eateries, and plenty of entertainment in the Ohana Courtyard, it’s a full-day destination. Join in a ukelele or hula lesson or sit back and watch a film under the stars for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday movie nights.
Hana Road, Maui
If you really want to experience a real sense of Hawaii’s natural beauty, hiring a car is a must. Maui is home to Hana Road (officially Hana Highway), which presents some of the most sublime and dramatic scenery on the islands. Snaking 52 miles along remarkable coastal roads and through lush rainforests to the isolated town of Hana, this fantastic journey is unmissable purely for the sightseeing, but there are also many activities to do on the way.
Hana town offers a more traditional Hawaiian vibe due to its relatively secluded position, and en route you can hike its beautiful trails, stumble upon cascading waterfalls, and take some Instagram-worthy shots of scenic overlooks and untouched beaches.
Nā Pali Coast State Wilderness Park, Kauai
Unquestionably one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring landscapes in the world belongs to Kauai’s northwestern coastline within the Nā Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. If you’ve seen the Jurassic Park film, you’ll instantly recognise its rippling cliffs and surreal rugged beauty together with dozens of waterfalls and deep valleys that cut into the mountains.
If you’re up for a wilderness adventure, try the difficult 11-mile Kalalau hiking trail, which was built more than 200 years ago and takes visitors along the coastline, crossing over towering cliffs and leafy valleys on a full-day journey. But for an easier and more exhilarating experience, take a thrilling open-door helicopter tour along the coastline and see the landscape in all its glory.

Waimea Canyon State Park, Kauai
Often referred to as the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific’, the impressive Waimea Canyon stretches for 10 miles and has a depth of around 3,600 feet. Situated on the island of Kauai, the state park features miles of glorious hiking trails, rivers, and amazing views over its vast wilderness. Vibrant colours in its rock layers form a striking landscape, together with picturesque waterfalls and verdant greenery. Consider booking an exciting rafting or hiking tour if you fancy a challenge and to really immerse yourself in Hawaii’s beautiful natural world.
Haleakalā National Park, Maui
Take Hawaii twin-centre holidays to new heights on a spectacular drive 10,000 feet up in Maui’s Haleakalā National Park. Far-reaching views across the ancient crater of the – thankfully inactive – Haleakalā Volcano are stunning, and vistas from the summit expand across the entire island.
The park shifts from an eerie, moon-like landscape to subtropical rainforest and is home to many rare and endangered species that can only be found here. There are excellent opportunities for camping and hiking, but planning your trip here is key as it gets quite busy. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, consider making a reservation at the Summit District to see the dazzling sunrise between 3am – 7am and witness this spectacle atop the mountain above the clouds.
Mauna Kea, Big Island
Hawaii’s highest mountain sits at an altitude of 13,800 feet and presents a totally different world than that of its tropical landscape counterpart below. A must-visit for any budding astronomers out there, this colossal wonder attracts stargazers from all over the globe due to its remote location and clean and tranquil air.
With at least 300 clear nights a year, the weather in Mauna Kea rises above 40% of the world’s atmosphere and conditions at the top are often very cold, even producing snow during the winter months. Make sure to pack some warm weather gear if you plan on visiting. The summit can only be reached by 4x4 off-road vehicles, but a regular car can get to the Visitors’ Center where there are evening stargazing programmes for tourists and locals to become one with the cosmos!
Poke
Poke is more than just a dish, it’s a way of life for Hawaiians, and although it can be found the world over, there’s no better place to try it than its place of origin. Simply, it’s a chunky raw-fish salad with your choice of seafood tossed with heaps of seasoning, nuts, onion, and various delicious marinades.
The best way to eat poke is very casually with rice and other vegetables and garnishes, either in a bowl, box, plate in a restaurant or on the go – it’s a versatile and tasty dish that must be tried (if you’re partial to seafood, of course) on Hawaii twin-centre holidays.
Loco Moco
Hawaii is famed for its fusion of Asian, American and Pacific Island cuisine, and the iconic Loco Moco is no exception. Steering away from traditional seafood, this dish comprises a hamburger patty on a bed of rice and topped with a fried egg and gravy in a rather unusual but delightfully appetising combination.
This is Hawaii’s comfort food. It’s found in all locations from the most established restaurants to the latest pop-up cafés and can be eaten at any time of day – breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in-between.
Shave Ice
A Hawaiian staple, this popular and fun dish offers exactly what it says on the tin: shavings of ice. Like the American-style snow cone, shave ice is the perfect thing to eat in the hot Pacific Island weather. It comes in many forms but is essentially just ice shavings that are flavoured with syrups, fruits, and other sweet ingredients to create a refreshing and delicious treat.
Fruits include mangoes, pineapples, papaya, coconut, star fruit and guava, while additional elements can also be added such as ice cream, condensed milk or small adzuki beans to give it contrasting textures and flavours. The syrups and fruits can be mixed in countless different ways for a totally unique dessert every time!
Saimin
Hawaii’s national food and one of its most traditional dishes, ‘saimin’ is their take on a Chinese-style egg-noodle soup, which includes varying adaptations that have made their way into the recipe from the islands’ many immigrant groups.
Wheat noodles swim within a Japanese dashi broth, along with green onions, kimchi, kamaboko (a colourful Japanese-style fish cake), boiled egg and Chinese dumplings to create a warming, flavoursome soup that is found everywhere, even popular fast-food chains. It’s a must-try dish when visiting Hawaii!
Hawaii FAQs
Hawaii FAQs
Hawaii FAQs
Hawaii is a year-round destination with consistent warm weather across all the islands but there are two distinct seasons: summer and winter. Summer is May to October while the winter months are November to April. The cusp of these seasons – April, May, September, and October – are generally the best time to visit as the weather is excellent and more comfortable. November through to March is typically the wettest time of year. It’s worth noting that each island has different microclimates so it may be warm and sunny on one side and rainy or windy on another at the same time.
The Hawaiian Islands are 11 hours behind the UK. There are no direct flights from the UK to Hawaii, and the usual route involves at least one stopover in Los Angeles or another US airport, which is ideal for combining with other destinations to create magical multi centre holidays.
Hawaii is perfect for those wanting to mix up their USA holidays with a tropical beach paradise together with cool city vibes. California’s Pacific Coast delivers wonderful destinations like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, while Las Vegas is also a short plane journey away and can easily be incorporated into your multi-centre itinerary of dreams.
Many of the attractions we’ve highlighted require a car to access them, but it isn’t essential and depends on what your holiday plans involve. If sightseeing is high on the agenda, then we strongly recommend hiring a vehicle to negotiate the diverse landscape of the islands, for which you will be rewarded with out-of-this-world views, barely touched beaches and peaceful nature experiences.
