Fly To Hawaii
A Hawaiian vacation really is a dream come true. There are endless beaches, spectacular sunsets and exotic images everywhere you look. For tourists and nature lovers alike, Hawaii is heaven on earth. If you have the time and the money to spend, you can fly in and take your own little taste of heaven.
Hawaii has a land area of nearly 6,500 square miles, however it’s actually made up of a series of volcanic islands. In total, there are 124 islets that make up Hawaii, stretching in a 1,500-mile crescent from Cure Island. The eight major islands at the eastern end of the chain are, from west to east, Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and the big island of Hawaii.
Located in the central region of the Pacific Ocean, just below the tropic of cancer, Hawaii is actually the 50th of the United States. It is famous for its beaches, and the challenging waves that lure surfers from around the world. The lush landscape is equally magnificent, with exceptional dormant and active volcanoes. While the climate is considered humid by U.S. mainland standards, the northeast trade winds pass along the great reservoir to create delightfully comfortable conditions. The temperatures average from 72 F (22 C) in the coolest month to 78 F (26 C) in the warmest, with extremes from 57 F (14 C) to 88 F (31 C).
Because Hawaii is an island, driving there is not an option. Traveling by boat can be a pricey alternative, and ferry service is not available. That leaves air travel as the most commons means of transport to sunny, sensational Hawaii. Fortunately, there are frequent and budget-friendly flights to Hawaii.
Tourism is a huge industry in Hawaii, and the steady stream of paradise-bound travelers has prompted the sun-drenched state to develop its own airline. This, combined with the many travel accommodations offered by friendly and eager-to-please locals, provides a selection of vacation packages catering to both the adventurous and the elite travelers.
Aloha Airlines’ most popular tour package is the Seven-Day Island Pass. This airline fare pass provides visitors with the opportunity for unlimited travel over a seven-day period. It’s a dream for island-hoppers, allowing travel without boundaries between all of the Hawaiian islands. Aloha Island Pass holders can book any number of reservations for travel on selected flights to all of the destinations served by Aloha Airlines. Passes may be purchased directly at any Aloha Airlines outlet, or through travel agents. Everyone is eligible to purchase Island Passes, however they are non-transferable and non-refundable.
There are frequent flights between all of the major islands, and most airlines charge similar fares. Air travel is typically relaxed in Hawaii, so it’s not necessary to book in advance to get a good deal. Just arrive at the airport, purchase a ticket and you’re on your way. Arranging air travel in Hawaii is so simple; you can even pick up your airline tickets at local 7-Eleven stores or at ATM machines. Of course, purchasing tickets from a travel agent or online merchant is always an option.
Vacations should be about having fun and enjoying solitude and peace of mind. There is no place for work or worry on your holiday. Take the time to make seamless travel arrangements, pack your hula shirts, and fly to Hawaii for an island adventure you’ll never forget.

Try to do 2 or 3 islands, Kona, Maui etc. why?, with one island you'll see everything in 2 days and then island fever set's in, break up the trip with a island hopping vacation, just watch the booze at the luau's, and don't eat the poi.

My advice is to go to one island, Maui and stay in the Kaanapali area. There are a lot of things to see and do, I enjoy snorkeling. There are boats in the Lahaina marina and there is snorkeling trips, sunset sailing, whale watching, etc. Of course you don't have to use a boat, most of the hotels have snorkeling equipment you can rent and swim out in front of the hotel. The hotels also provide classes for scuba diving too. You can tour a plantation which shows you what grows on Maui, there is horseback riding, you can drive to Hana, but what a drive, there are hundreds of corners. You can drive to the top of the Haleakala Volcano, but make sure you take a jacket it gets cold. You can also bicycle down from the volcano. There is lots to do, try and find a package deal which includes air, hotel and car. You will need a car. Have a wonderful time with your friends.

It's difficult to answer your question properly without knowing more about you. A wide variety of people come to Hawaii, and a there are a wide variety of things for them to do when they get here.
I've lived in Hawaii for eight years, three different islands. I've been host to a lot of friends that have come to visit me, and it isn't easy to predict what somebody is going to like. I took my best friend from high school to the Arizona Memoria, but he really liked driving on the H-3 highway. I took some friends from Taiwan driving all around the island, but they really liked the valley where I lived. I took a friend from college to the Bishop Museum, Iolani Palace (our tour guide cried), and to an authentic hula performance, but she really liked just driving around the island. I took a large group of scholars and government officials to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The East Asians liked it, but the South Asians weren't impressed.
Even though Hawaii only has a couple of seasons, really, the time of year does affect what you can do where, and you didn't tell us that, either.

Hmm well it depends on what you want to do
Maui is a great place for going to the beach. If you want alot of water action, I suggest going there.
On the other hand, Oahu and the Big Island are places I've went to, and I loved it!
Go to Oahu and you can visit alot of great beaches there as well. If you go to Oahu I suggest heading up toward North Shore if you want something more quieter, or to Waikiki if you want more of a city scene. Either way you can drive anywhere around the island, so there's lots to do there. You can shop alot in Waikiki, and go to several restaurants there. One of my favorite activites there was a luau at Paradise Cove, look it up! It's better than the authentic Polynesian Cultural Center luau. But I suggest going to Paradise Cove, it's lovely and very very fun!
On the Big Island you can visit the volcano, but you won't be able to get very close because of the sulfur dioxide level, it's been high lately. It's a great place to go to! Or the Kona Brewery Restaurant is a great place to stop to eat. Also there are some great sunset cruises ( but you can probably get one on any of the main islands ). Black Sand beach is also here, it's unique. It's mainly more rock though, due to the volcano. ((Don't take any volcanic rock home! They say it's bad luck lol))
Anyways, hope that helped! Have fun! Hang loose!

If you want a trendy beech, then Honolulu is on the island of Oahu where you will fly in. Waikiki Beech is the place to be seen if you are into all that. It is cheapest to stay here as no further flights will be required. Also nightlife is good here. If you want a quieter snorkel/kayak go to Maui where the corals/fish/turtles/dolphins are amazing. The night life in Lahaina (main town in Maui) is buzzing with shops/galleries open late-Lassen dives and paints from here and kite surfing is popular at this time of year. If you want to hike to see stunning volcanoes and red lava flowing into the sea, then Big Island is the place to be. Also the beeches are fairly quiet and snorkelling is good. Kauai is beautiful expecially if you can afford a helicopter ride over the Napali coast, highest cliffs and stunning waterfalls (seen in Jurassic Park) but a much quieter relaxed island. Good luck.

21st Birthday!! Waikiki baby, on Oahu!
Party at Rumfire, Dukes, Tiki's, Hanohano room, Kelly O'Neils, etc.
Lots of shopping and learn to surf too!
Any when you want to relax go to Waikiki beach or to Lanikai or to the N.Shore for some rad beaches.
Oahu has everything, except a erupting volcano.
Then if you wanted to check out Maui take the Superferry over!

Each of the Hawaiian Islands has its own personality and character. So, knowing what type of person you are and what you like to do will help you decide which of the islands you will like.
If you like tourists and fishing you should like the Kona area of the “Big Island” of Hawaii.
If you like solitude, a tropical feel, a rural atmosphere and you don’t mind rain, you should like the Hilo area of the Big Island. The west side of the Big Island has a few nice small beaches, including black sand beaches. Near Ka Lae, the southernmost point of the island you will find a green sand beach. Big beaches are not prevalent on the Big Island.
If you enjoy scenery, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking or surfing and don’t yearn for “night life” then the oldest of the islands, Kauai is for you.
If you are the kind of person who keep a bathing suit, snorkel gear or a surfboard in your car, then Maui is for you, because it has 120 miles of easily accessible and swimmable coastline, more than any other island.
If you have an artistic temperament or perhaps you like to get away and write, then seek out the island of Lanai.
If you love nature, hiking and solitude, then “the most Hawaiian” of the islands, Molokai is for you.
You’ll enjoy Oahu if you like beaches, shopping, tourists, high-rises, traffic and don’t mind a lot of other people. Honolulu is like a tropical version of NYC, or LA as it was in the smog-free 1950's.

Hi!! I was just in Hawaii for 17 days and we went to Oahu,Maui, and Kauai. The best island by FAR…is Kauai. It was the most prettiest place ever. My family is actually planning on going back just to Kauai for vacation in a few years it was that good.
We also did a lot of excursions such as :
1) Ziplining( The best to do in Kauai and my favorite)
2) Swimming and Snorkeling with the Sea Turtles
3) Kayaking
4) Surfing Lessons (So Fun!!)
5) Whale Watching (Only during Whale Season)
6) History Tours
7) Shark Cages (Scary..)
There's a ton more to do in Hawaii..these are only a handful of ones. Hawaii is amazing if you haven't been there before and beautiful.
HAVE FUN!!!
