I think if I had one tip to offer people that have never been to the islands it would be to make sure to set aside one day per week to do nothing other than relax at your resort, or at a nearby beach for the day. You need a day to rest up so that you’re not completely exhausted from trying to see everything, especially on the big island.

Well, my beloved and I just got back from Big Island last Tuesday. I just showed her this post. We were there on the ground for 9 days and....we went....went....went....everyday. I was hoping we wouldn't have 'went' for at least a few days. But it was our first time there. We winged the entire trip except for a Luau and dinner cruise. 1200 miles on the ol Jeep. Mahalo for the video.

Online ordering for little fish was perfect! Grab and go to Poipu beach! Thanks for the tips!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! So much helpful information and they bring back many fond memories being in Hawaii with my wife and daughter. I do also want to say I really like and appreciate that you take your children with you. You and them are making lifetime memories. After our daughter was born she went everywhere with us. If she wasn't allowed in a restaurant or on a tour we went or did something else that should be a part of. One little thing we do different. Our first morning in Hawaii we make ourselves sleep as late as we can so we acclimate our bodies to being on Hawaii time instead of east coast time. However as you do I definitely encourage everyone to do what works best for them. Thank you for another great video! Your cousin in eastern NC, Mike

aloha Mike, thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment! It is great that our kids like traveling with us and we keep it fun for them, so they continue to travel with us. Do what works for you on jet lag! We try to keep ours up at night so they sleep in a bit in the morning.

We are coming to the Big Island this July to celebrate our 10th Anniversary and will stay for 15 days...we couldn't be more excited about it! My husby has already been there for the Iron Man twice, but for me it'll be my first time and I am trully looking forward! Manta Ray snorkling, Zipline, Luau, a Coffee-Farm Tour and a Waterfalls + Volcano Park Tour are already booked, but always with a day in between to just relax at the beach and eat good food. And, of course, our vow renewal ceremony at the beach! I just hope these 2 months till July go by fasttttt, so that we can be there in Hawaii as soon as possible! Aloha from Switzerland =)

Excellent tips. especially 5a. I booked a cave tour last summer in PR, it was on the day before I was to leave, and they ended up canceling the tour due to the relentless rain. I was so disappointed.

We did! KZread sent it to us right after we hit 100k. We didn't do a celebration or anything as the Lahaina Fires happened at the same time.

If we are flying into Oahu on a Tuesday, coming from Florida, I am assuming significant jetlag. Where would you recommend we spend day 2? I'm thinking Lanikai Pillbox Trail for sunrise, then maybe spend the rest of the day at the beach. We have 10 nights, split between Oahu and Maui, so we don't need to rush. Thanks for always providing great info!

That is a great idea! Sunset is gorgeous and then you have parking for the beach. Friendly reminder to be quiet in the neighborhood.

See where you can get the best flight deals on going to first. Maui has some good deals right now and more flights so it is easier to fly into Maui, then Kauai, then out of Kauai or Honolulu. Enjoy the whale watching on Maui!
