  • Days 1-3

    Oahu

    Start in Honolulu with a traditional lei greeting. Book an afternoon flight to avoid traffic on your way to Waikiki. Stay in the Waikiki Beach area for convenient access to everything. Get to Pearl Harbor before 8AM to avoid crowds and heat. Try surfing at Waikiki Beach in the morning when waves and winds are calmer. Visit the Polynesian Cultural Center but set aside a full day since it's 90 minutes from Waikiki.

    
  • Days 4-6

    Kauai

    Take a 40-minute flight to Lihue Airport. Kauai offers Hawaii's most dramatic scenery. Drive the North Shore to Hanalei Bay, but plan extra time for stops along the winding roads. Start your Waimea Canyon hike early before afternoon clouds roll in. Book Na Pali Coast boat tours from Hanalei in summer when waters are calmer, or opt for helicopter tours in winter. Bring good hiking shoes as trails stay muddy year-round.

    
  • Days 7-9

    Big Island

    Fly into Kona or Hilo airport. You'll need more time for driving between sights on this island. Visit Volcanoes National Park at sunrise or sunset for the best views. Bring warm clothes as summit temperatures can drop to 40°F. Schedule coffee farm tours in Kona during morning hours before afternoon rain. Consider splitting your stay between Kona and Hilo to cut down on driving time.

    
  • Days 10-13

    Maui

    Start the Road to Hana by 7AM to beat traffic and enjoy the stops. Bring motion sickness medicine - you'll encounter 620 curves. For Haleakala sunrise, leave your hotel by 3AM and dress warmly. Book Molokini Crater snorkel trips in the morning when conditions are best, before trade winds pick up.
