Hawai'i Holidays

Add a fiercely protected heritage that’s been shaped by these wonders over millennia, and you’ve got one of the most fascinating far-flung destinations going. On this duo-of-islands adventure, we’ll take you to the vast island of Hawai’i with its multiple climate zones (10 of the world's 14 climate zones across the state), geological marvels and jet-black sand beaches. Then it’s over to Maui where the volcanoes are a little sleepier, the valleys a thousand shades of green and the beaches oh-so spectacular. We’ve included car hire on both islands so you can go at your own pace, stop when and where you want and let the vibes influence your adventure.

Hawai’i’s regularly sunny skies, short and sharp showers, and clean-as-it-can-be air create the best conditions going for those sweeping (often double or circular) arcs of colour. The vivid hues of Maui’s rainbow eucalyptus trees, the 50-shades-of-green rainforests, sands that go beyond the standard golden, and most importantly, a vibrant heritage passed through countless generations only add to the colour palette of life in Hawai’i. Car hire is included on each island so the pace can be set by how you feel, what you want to see and when you want to see it.

What better place to pause your journey to Hawaiian paradise than a few nights in fabulous Las Vegas? It’s the perfect stopover on your way to Hawaii, with plenty of time to continue the party in lively O'ahu before unwinding on the pristine beaches of Maui. You’ll fly back to the UK from Maui, with an airport layover on your way back east.

For us as visitors to this sacred land, it’s about exploring the islands with mālama (care), being low key and local, and treating the landscape, heritage and people with respect. We’ve created a holiday to O’ahu and Kaua’i that inspires you to take on a slower pace and connect with communities and the landscapes they call home. We’ve set aside four nights on each island, but this is all about taking it easy so idling on either island (or both) a little longer is heartily encouraged.

Your trip starts in style, spending time in the fabulous Los Angeles. You can make LA a beach holiday and stay in Santa Monica or choose somewhere near the theme parks or the attractions of Hollywood. Then, fly west to experience two different sides of Hawai'i – the lively Waikiki Beach on O'ahu and the calmer Maui. As you’ll need to break up the flight from Hawai'i back to the UK, stopping in San Francisco means exploring another fantastic Californian city. There’s plenty to do in the Golden Gate City, whether you want to get to know its varied neighbourhoods, indulge in some shopping, or take the opportunity to go wine tasting in nearby Napa.

A holiday visiting Las Vegas, O'ahu, Maui, and Los Angeles promises a sun-kissed adventure filled with unforgettable experiences. Start your journey in Las Vegas, where you can indulge in the city's lively nightlife and world-renowned casinos. Then, take a flight to O'ahu, where you can explore the vibrant city of Honolulu and enjoy some beach bliss. Next is Maui, soaking up the island's laid-back vibes, hiking through national parks, and plunging into crystalline waters. End your trip in Los Angeles, where you can get to know the City of Angels, tour celebrity homes, and stretch your legs along the Santa Monica boardwalk.

Start your trip in style with a few nights in the incredible, one-of-a-kind Las Vegas. It’s the perfect city to get you into holiday mode before flying to Hawaii. These idyllic islands are ideal for a relaxing, post-Vegas break, but there are plenty of entertainment options if you want more nightlife. Then, you’ll hop to Maui to unwind on palm-fringed crescent beaches. Your route home takes you via San Francisco to finish your trip, exploring a magnificent city with iconic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge to feast your eyes on.

This is the Hawaiian trip of dreams: you’ll visit all four of the state’s main islands. Enjoy the beachfront vibes of lively Waikiki in O'ahu, step into the Jurassic Park landscapes of Kaua'i, see the Island of Hawai'i’s active volcanoes and go from valley to beach in Maui. We also have shorter two- and three-island itineraries.

You begin your holiday in Los Angeles, where you can enjoy a stylish and relaxing start to your trip. You can spend your time in LA on the beach, perhaps in Santa Monica or even Huntington Beach. Or base yourself in Hollywood for easy access to star attractions. Next, you’ll fly west to explore two contrasting sides of Hawaii — the vibrant Waikiki Beach on the island of O'ahu, and the serene Maui. You’ll fly home from Maui, breaking up your journey back to the UK with a short airport layover.

The City by the Bay is the classic stopover on the way to Hawai'i. This trip combines three exceptionally exciting destinations: San Francisco, with its Golden Gate and maritime traditions; O'ahu's Waikiki, with its nightlife and surf stories; and Maui, with its beach bliss and relaxation. On your way back to the UK, you’ll have a quick airport layover to break up your long-haul flight home.
