Hawaii’s five most visited islands feature several luxury hotels and unique sights and activities.
The islands of Hawaii offer something a little different regarding activities and hotels, so you’ll want to pick the right island depending on what you want to get out of your trip. Suppose this is your first time in Hawaii. In that case, it is a good idea to design an itinerary involving at least two islands, especially if you are from anything farther away than California. Let’s face it: Hawaii is out there for east coasters and Europeans! The long flight combined with the time difference can add a number to your itinerary – think of many early mornings and even earlier bedtimes!
Understanding the different islands helps when you first look at weather patterns. Tradewinds come from the west and travel southeast along the island chain, dropping less and less rain as it goes. So, Kauai is far more lush than the dry and harder landscape on the Big Island. Each island’s windward (northern) sides also tend to get more rain than the leeward (southern) sides.
