Hawaii Holidays 2026 & 2027

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 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 holidaying 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 for a Hawaii holiday 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.
