1. Unique Experiences on Each Island
Eight main islands make up Hawaii. Each island provides a very different and unique vacation experience.
Oahu, for example, is the most famous of all the islands. Here is where you'll find one of the most popular places to visit in Hawaii - Honolulu. Don't worry if you don't like bustling cities; just a short drive away are quiet shores for swimming or beachcombing.
Kauai is a perfect spot for adventurous vacationers. It's one of the oldest of all the islands and provides tons of fantastic hiking options. It's quieter than some of the other islands, so it's perfect for anyone not into the nightlife scene.
The Waipi'o Valley on the Big Island is a must-see place when you're visiting Hawaii. Not only will you see beautiful sights, but you'll learn so much about the history and culture of the state, too.
The charming town of Honokaa is a great place to stop along the Hamakua Coast. Visit quaint boutiques and gift shops like KoaWood Ranch, where you can find handmade koa heirloom pieces.
2. Unbeatable Climate
One of the most alluring reasons to visit Hawaii is its unbeatable climate. The state only experiences two seasons. Summer lasts from May to October, and winter is from November through April. You can expect average temperatures to be around 85°F in summer and 78°F during the winter.
Each island contains its own unique microenvironments thanks to the state's unique geography. You might visit tropical rainforests in the morning and visit a cooler alpine region in the afternoon.
3. Something for Everyone
There's something in Hawaii for everyone in the family.
There are countless tours curated for senior citizens. We recommend sticking to one of the larger city centers as it'll be easier to get around. The cities will also have better access to medical care if you need to use it.
Hawaii is one of the most family-friendly vacation destinations in America. Many resorts have special activities and menus geared toward children.
You'll find plenty of activities whether you prefer to be active or laze about on your vacation, too. Hawaii is a nature-loving hiker's paradise, but its beautiful beaches are perfect for swimmers and sunbathers.
4. Breathtaking Scenery
