Hawaii Vacation Packages: Maui Vacations & More

The most economical way to book Hawaii vacations is to buy a basic package that includes airfare, accommodations and possibly a car rental. This can save you quite a bit over booking the components for your Hawaii vacation separately. Other travel options include an escorted tour or a Hawaii cruise.

There is no right answer because any is correct! If you have very specific interests there are reasons to visit one island over another. Each island is distinctly different and offers unique experiences.

Oahu Vacations
If you’ve never been to Hawaii, or if you’re budget conscious, an Oahu vacation may fit your needs. Oahu is home to Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace (the only Royal Palace on U.S. soil) and the Polynesian Cultural Center. The island offers the most museums in the state, including the Bishop Museum and Honolulu Academy of the Arts.

Maui Vacations
One of our most popular Hawaii vacations are Maui vacation packages. Maui offers an incredible array of resorts of varying quality, great dining, shopping and a multitude of outdoor activity options. A Maui vacation package has it all, from great restaurants and resorts, to secluded beaches and beautiful natural escapes, such as Iao Valley State Park, the Hana drive, the drive above Kapalua, or upcountry to Haleakala.

Kauai Vacations
Known as “The Garden Isle,” Kauai vacation packages are a favorite of those who most appreciate this island's lushness. A popular location is Waimea Canyon, "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific," and Kokee State Park, as well as the famous Na Pali Coast. Much of the island is inaccessible, and a Kauai vacation is popular with hikers. The small Kauai Museum features ancient Hawaiian artifacts.

Hawaii Vacations to The Big Island
Hawaii, known as “The Big Island,” is the largest as well as the youngest, and one of the most fascinating from a geological point of view. On a Hawaii vacation package you can visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Volcano Art Center, view the ancient royal fish ponds, and visit Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park. The Big Island is popular for golf Hawaii packages and spa enthusiasts. 

Lanai Vacations
Lanai vacation packages offer fine snorkeling and great golfing. Lanai is a small gem of an island readily accessible from Maui. The Four Seasons Lanai operates two upscale resorts here. Here, too, are the ancient petroglyphs at Shipwreck Beach and the foothills of the Palawai caldera.

Molokai Vacations
Molokai is the least visited and developed of the major islands. There are few resorts here. Molokai is most famous for the leper colony founded by Father Damien, which can still be visited by donkey along a steep narrow trail.

How long is your Hawaiian vacation? How far do you have to fly to get there? Most Hawaii vacations should include no fewer than three nights on any one island, and no more than two islands.

While inter-island flights are readily available, you can spend a half day just getting to the airport, checking in, flying, picking up a car rental and getting to your accommodations. Minimizing inter-island commuting will maximize your time to vacation!

From a Maui vacation to Kauai vacation, there is so much to enjoy on any one of the islands that the added time and cost involved with inter-island travel doesn't warrant adding more islands unless you're adding more days to your Hawaii vacation package.

Unlike in Mexico and the Caribbean, and except for one resort on Hawaii, Hawaii does not offer all-inclusive vacations. Your best choices are hotels and condominiums.

From camping to the most luxurious resorts of the world, Hawaii has it all. Most travelers prefer hotels or condominiums. Room prices vary based on season, type of room (suite or standard), view (ocean or not) and location (on the beach or not). The most premium will be "ocean-front" with a full ocean view from the lanai (balcony). "Ocean-view" rooms offer a partial view of the ocean, possibly from an angle. "Mountain-view" or "garden-view" implies no ocean view.

Because we have first-hand experience with so many Hawaiian resorts, based on your budget we can recommend the ones that may best meet your needs. Hotels offer many conveniences and luxuries, and range in price. Hotels generally have more dining choices, spas, shops and other types of services.

< Hawaii Hotel: Quick Tip >
Many hotels charge a daily resort fee, over and above their daily room charge and taxes. Ask us if your hotel charges a daily resort fee and whether it is included or not in your package price.

Condominiums are numerous, and good value for a family vacation Hawaii. A condo includes a kitchen, enabling you to prepare some of your own meals and avoid the higher cost of dining out each meal. Condos are often privately owned, and furnishings vary based on the owners preferences. Condos we arrange adhere to quality standards and are reviewed each year to ensure they meet those standards. Some condos offer turn-down and room cleaning services similar to a hotel, while others may not. Always clarify the services included.

< Hawaii Vacation: Quick Tip >
Food is not inexpensive in Hawaii, particularly at hotels. Some of Hawaii's resorts are more remote than others, and finding alternative dining options to hotels or condominiums may be a challenge, particularly without a car. On all islands except perhaps Oahu, we recommend you consider a car rental as part of your package to provide you the greatest flexibility.
