Your Guide to Hawaii Vacations

Explore the hub of HonoluluOpens in a new window
Hawaii's capital Honolulu blends big-city vibes with the laid-back island lifestyle: Scope out Iolani Palace, home to Hawaii's monarchy, to see how the other half live before catching some rays on Ala Moana Beach. Then, set your course for the Waikiki district to wrap up the day with ocean-fresh seafood, deliciously creative cocktails, and some of the coolest nightlife Hawaii has to offer.

Revel in the reefs of Kailua-KonaOpens in a new window
Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's Big Island invites you to plunge right in—literally. Head out on a snorkeling or diving tour to explore the colorful coral reefs offshore and see the ocean from a whole new angle. Alternatively, leave the coast for the day and head into the island to discover local flora on a stroll around the atmospheric Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, or stop by The Vanillerie vanilla farm to learn all about how this fragrant spice is grown.

Live like royalty in KiheiOpens in a new window
Formerly the preferred vacation destination for Hawaiian royalty, it's easy to see why Kihei attracted such a star-studded crowd. With the beachfront Kalama Beach Park offering 36 acres of lush lawns and towering palm trees, it's an ideal spot to recharge your batteries. Once you've had enough fun in the sun for one day, make a beeline for Kihei's beach road to refuel on freshly caught local fish.

Turn up the heat in HiloOpens in a new window
Hilo's volcanic past looms large over the town. Overlooking not one but 2 volcanoes, the beaches around Hilo are dotted with natural lava rock pools: Young kids (and the young at heart) on a Hawaiian getaway love spotting the crabs, fish, and turtles that call them home. Wander inland to explore the untouched Wailuku River State Park and marvel at its 80-foot waterfall, before picking up a souvenir or 2 from the charmingly authentic Hilo Farmers Market.

Commune with nature in KamuelaOpens in a new window
The lush rolling hills of Kamuela are just begging to be explored—and with countless hiking trails and horseback-riding tours to choose from, there's no excuse not to. After your exertions, head to the white sands of Waialea Beach for some well-deserved downtime or connect with local heritage at Isaacs Art Center museum and gallery: Whether you're a beach bum or a culture-vulture, you'll be as happy as a clam in Kamuela.

Bring history to life in KoloaOpens in a new window
Home to Hawaii's first sugarcane plantation, Koloa is steeped in history: Saunter through the streets of Old Koloa Town, hike the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail, or bring the town's past to life at the Koloa History Center. And because this is Hawaii, after all, you're only ever a stone's throw away from pristine sandy beaches—where the sound of the ocean will bring you right back into the present.
