Best Vacation Packages to Hawaii

Looking for the best vacation packages to Hawaii? Get the lowdown before you decide…

Perhaps the most common misconception about Hawaii is that all islands are made equal. Wrong. Someone visiting Oahu who sticks exclusively with Waikiki is going to get a very different experience than someone on a dive trip off the coast of Lanai.

In order to determine the best vacation packages to Hawaii, ask yourself the following questions:

What do I most want to get out of this experience? The experiences in Hawaii are as varied as the islands themselves. Are you interested in laying on a beach all day sipping coktails, then hitting up the clubs all night? Then by all means head to Waikiki (the 11th largest city in the U.S.), and opt for a vacation package that offers the best deals on hotels along the beach. A great place to start is best4hawaii.com.

Not interested in the club scene? Perhaps you should consider Maui. It has beaches that are just as beautiful as the ones you’ll find on Oahu, with a lot more room to spread out. The town of Lahaina, the largest in West Maui, still retains the persona of a laid back fishing town. The nightlife here is more bars than clubs, and stretches down the main drag of Front Street; it is the Key West to Waikiki’s Miami.  A great package deal to Maui should include airfare and hotel, with breakfast included, with a possible car rental thrown in for an additional fee. An incredible eight day inclusive package starts at around $2,000 per person, rising sharply from there. Check out www.aloha-hawaiian.com/oahu for more information.

Will I stay on one island, or try to see several? This is an all important question, as it can quickly cause your budget to spiral out of control. For example, let’s say you arrive in Oahu prepared to enjoy your week there. However, after a few days you start to get antsy (which can happen, particularly if you burn easily) and you decide to check out the famed road to Hana on Maui or climb up Mt. Haleakala. Either one of these one day excursions will cost roughly three hundred dollars with a provider (though it may be well worth it!)
