2026 Hawaii Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

Essential Travel Information for Hawaii

Hawaii lures you in with a wild beauty and warm Aloha spirit that’s tough to resist—think volcanic peaks piercing the sky, turquoise waves cradling coral reefs, and a culture that hums with history. Each island delivers its own flavor: Oahu mixes urban buzz with sacred trails like Diamond Head, Maui promises sunrise atop Haleakalā, Kauai hides rugged Na Pali cliffs, and the Big Island glows with active lava flows. Whether you’re snorkeling Hanauma Bay’s fish-filled waters or swaying to hula at a beachside luau, Hawaii blends adventure and tradition into a trip you’ll feel in your bones. Beyond the postcard views, it’s the islands’ stories that stick—Pearl Harbor’s quiet tribute at the USS Arizona Memorial or the untamed wilderness of Na Pali Coast State Park. Pick your pace: chase thrills with a surf lesson, sip taro-root poi with locals, or just sink into a hammock as the trade winds whisper. With mild weather year-round and a laid-back vibe, Hawaii fits every traveler—families, solo explorers, or couples seeking a sunset to steal their breath. Dive in; these islands have a way of turning visitors into storytellers.
