Consider using a cruise to visit multiple Hawaiian islands for a more relaxing way to travel between them.
Pre-book activities and reservations well in advance, as many popular options in Hawaii book up quickly.

YouTube Video Description

Hello Everyone! We are Paradise Falls Family - we're a family of four who love to explore the world together. We are hoping by sharing some of our top tips for each destination we will inspire you (and save you some research!) We had a wonderful trip to California and the Hawaiian Islands in August 2023 and this is the first in our vlog series about this trip. This video gives an overview of our itinerary and the planning that went into this. Why we picked the places we did and how we came to plan how many days on each island. We talk about how much the trip costs and also give a really brief overview of what we did in each place. All other videos will concentrate on each place and really go into detail on the trips we did and showcase what each island has to offer. https://expedia.com/affiliate/FL8Sqqt - Wyndham San Diego Bayside (we didn't have a great experience here - wouldn't recommend!) https://expedia.com/affiliate/ntPD006 - Best Western Plus Bayside Inn (we didn't end up staying here due to the Hurricane!) https://expedia.com/affiliate/X18VlXg - Homewood Suites by Hilton San Jose (would highly recommend, huge rooms!) https://expedia.com/affiliate/dULRbkg - The Equus Honolulu (lovely boutique hotel!)
