6 Questions I Always Get Asked About Hawaii

1. What’s the Best Hawaiian Island?Your neighbor may tell you that Maui is the best, but your cousin just got back from Oahu and thinks that IT is the best island (that doesn’t mean either of those will be your favorite). I love that each island has their own unique personality and each traveler is going to have their own favorites.Oahu is such a fun destination because there is so much to do; Maui is a great choice if you love to go to the beach and explore the outdoors. The Big Island is great if you like a bit more adventure, and Kauai is so lush and has that true authentic Hawaiian feel to it. One of my favorite parts about being a travel advisor is pairing you with the right destination for your personality.

2. When is the best time to visit Hawaii?The best time to visit Hawaii is really ANY time. The best thing about Hawaii is the amazing temps year-round. If you are looking to avoid the crowds and pay a little less, then spring and fall should be your target seasons, but be sure to avoid the spring break timeframe. Summer in the Islands is Hawaii at its most perfect, and also its most crowded, so if you love getting lost in a crowd or meeting new people, then June, July and August are for you. Winter in Hawaii means a tropical Christmas, a truly unique experience, and surfers will love the large north swells that envelope the Islands’ northern coastlines during this season. And if Whale Watching is on your bucket list, then you surely need to hit Hawaii between December and March.

3. Do you need a passport to travel to Hawaii?Nope! Hawaii is a part of the United States, so no passport is needed. Also, because it’s part of the US, you can use US dollars as well as communicate in English in Hawaii (although you’ll be greeting your friends with Aloha and Mahalo in no time).

4. How’s the flight to Hawaii?If you've never been that far on a plane, it can feel pretty long – but oh, so worth it. Plan ahead with movies, magazines, and snacks and you’ll be in the golden sun in no time.

5. What should I pack?The beauty of having me as your travel advisor is the recommendations I always send along with your trip planning. Before you head to the airport, I’ll suggest that you pack things like reef-safe sunscreen, a water proof beach bag, and believe it or not, maybe a jacket for those randomly rainy days, or high altitude must-see attractions like Haleakalā, to name a few.

6. What’s a must-do while in Hawaii?It seems like the things you can see and do in Hawaii is endless. From snorkeling and surfing to hiking and whale watching, it’s impossible to experience it all and there’s no “must do” that fits everyone. That’s why it’s so important for me to know about what interests you. Do you like history and culture? Then I’d suggest a visit to Pearl Harbor and experiencing a luau. Love thrilling water activities? I’d recommend mountain tubing or snorkeling with Manta Rays. But my number one must-do while in Hawaii will always be to embrace the aloha spirit and enjoy every minute of your time in paradise.

If you’re ready to experience Hawaii for yourself, the best time to start planning is now. As a Hawaii Destination Expert, I’ve studied the islands in depth and visited multiple times and I'd love to send you too!

Stress Free Honeymoon

Jessica Pratt was awesome to work with. We originally had a trip booked to the Maldives, but had to switch everything to Bora Bora just two weeks before leaving. She handled it super quickly and made the whole process really easy and stress-free. Bora Bora ended up being incredible and everything went smoothly the entire trip.
