Hawaii Travel

Archive for November, 2009

We’re looking to visit Hawaii, but favor small bungalows & places to giant hotels and resorts. Any ideas of islands/places to visit & stay that fit a smaller/more nature friendly trip?

Hotel Hana Maui should probably be top of your list.

The YMCA at Keanae on Maui has a cottage. That’s a beautiful spot.

Bungalows on the island of Molokai, I don’t know, but there’s a small hotel left. The Molokai ranch closed down the Lodge, the only 18-hole golf course, the only movie theatre, and the tentalow village at Kaupoa earlier this month though. I’m fairly sure you can find a condo either on the west end, east end, or just east of town (Kaunakakai).

I know that there are some nice cottages down Poipu way on Kauai. My sister stayed there.

Somebody here may know of cottages or bungalows on the island of Hawaii, but I’m not as familiar with that scene.

In about a year or year and a half I will be traveling with three other women to Hawaii, and I was wondering what kind of documentation I will be needing. This is the first time I went on a trip overseas and I want to make sure that I have everything. Thanks!

Assuming your over 18 and not an American citizen, all you need is a passport and proof of a return ticket. I hope you aren’t going to waste your time on the island of Oahu. We go every year and stay in the same condo on Maui. If you’d like the reservation number, email me.

I was thinkin horseback riding and zipline. Is there any other suggestions?

honestly get an Oahu Fun Pass – its good for the island of Oahu (not sure where you’re going) but you can get them from corporate travel brokers & can do ALL the activities for FREE (museums, tours, diamond head hike, catamaran breakfast ride, kayak tour – etc etc. They only cost around $150 but each activity is usually at least $50-100 each, so it MORE than pays for itself.

Here is a link to one site where I know you can get them, it looks like its combined with the hotel offer they have on the site but its separate – good luck!

My fiance and I would like to go to Hawaii for our Honeymoon in July of 2008. How do we get started? Where do I find a travel agent or do I need one? Book flights? What are the best places to stay and islands to visit in Hawaii?

We are looking for something that is calm and relaxing. We will be traveling from Texas.

You can go to a travel agent, or go on Expedia.com
On Expedia, you can book your flight and your hotel for x amount of days you plan on staying at the hotel. Some hotels offer buffet breakfast with your trip.
The Pacific Beach Hotel (Oceanarium Tower), is a really good hotel (we have stayed at the hotel four times out of six). They have a really good buffet breakfast and it is very filling.
Stay in the Oceanarium Tower at least the 12th floor on up with a Diamond Head View room. Partial Oceanview room.

I believe most airlines have package discounts and work with a lot of hotel/resorts in the areas. I went last May and had also researched renting vacation condos – these are a good deal especially in the off-seasons (Spring and Fall). We ended up staying at a timeshare resort (called the resort directly) and was given a great rate because they want to get you interested in buying at their property.

I’m looking for the cheapest possible flight + Hotel from Denver, to Hawaii any island, for 2 seniors during December 14th – 21st, 4 to 7 days. A once in a life time vacation as it my be our last together.
Any help finding such would be appreciated, I have searched the web for the past few weeks not finding an affordable price.

I think try a package the rates are low and don’t go around vacation time and high seasons and chirstmas and new year.

Hello,
I’m new to traveling and was looking for some expert advise. Unfortunately I can’t use any of the sites like Expedia and Orbitz because they require you to use a credit card. I’m having difficulty locating travel agencies. i was wondering if anyone knew of any travel agencies in the Concord, NH area to book a hawaii vacation in July?

Thank you advance.

Hello,

My fiance and I are looking to go to Hawaii during the month of October for 2 weeks. Were currently committed to a 2 week cruise at 6k.

Are there currently any better deals available? I am looking for a mix of cruise and all inclusive options.

Thanks!

Unless you Cruise, Hawaii doesn’t have any all inclusive resorts – but of course you can always find a good deal for hotel etc… through a corporate travel broker. They have rock bottom package deals like 2 adults for $400 for 5 days at a really nice 4 star hotel.

Sometimes they also have 2 for 1 airfare deals. You can check out a reliable broker at the site below – I have used them before & had a great time! I didn’t Cruise, I only got the hotel deal but it was great if you’re looking to save $! Aloha

I am going on vacation and want to send a package back to a Japanese exchange student as a gift. I arrive to Hawaii late Monday night(7/27) and leave late at night on 8/10(she leaves back to Japan this same day).

How long will it take a package to get there NOT by priority mail.
How long with priority?

Please respond quickly with answers as accurate as possible.
Thanks for your time.

Regular Mail…4-6 days.
I sent a 4 lb. package from Hanalei, Kauai to Central California last Tuesday, regular mail, it was received yesterday (Saturday) it took 5 days.

Some that allow a upfront deposit and/or payment schedule would be be nice!
