Big Island

The Island of Hawaii, also known as Big Island, is the largest and youngest Hawaiian Island in the Hawaiian chain and is also the home of Kilauea one of the world's most active volcanoes. The current eruption may last another 100 years or stop tomorrow — that is the beauty of a Hawaii Holiday: each time you will experience something new!

On the Island of Hawaii, (Big Island) you can experience everything from stargazing atop Mauna Kea (technically the tallest mountain in the world) to seeing new land being formed before your eyes in a helicopter ride over Hilo and Mauna Loa. 

For those looking for a peaceful resort we would highly recommend The Hilton Waikoloa Village or the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa. For those looking for a luxury stay, why not book the 5* Fairmont Orchid hotel on the stunning Kohala Coast! There are of course plenty of other hotel options that will suit every travellers budget — simply ask your Travel Advisor for their recommended options or tell us a hotel you already have in mind. 

Kauai Island 

Kauai is known as the tropical centrepiece of the Hawaiian Islands. After a long day exploring charming and historic small towns where no buildings are taller than a coconut tree, you can enjoy an evening of surfing, snorkelling or watching the fantastic sunsets. Kauai is home to some of the most beautiful hotels Hawaii has to offer; for example, The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa with its Robert Trent Jones' designed 18-hole golf course and the Sheraton Kauai Resort. There are of course plenty of other hotel options that will suit every travellers budget — simply ask your Travel Advisor for their recommended options or tell us a hotel you already have in mind. 

Many love to visit Kauai to get away from it all. This romantic Hawaiian Island is a true destination of untouched tranquillity. Though, it is also home to many adventures; why not go ATV exploring through the tropical jungles of Kauai or take a helicopter ride over the island to Manawaiopuna Falls - otherwise known as 'Jurassic Falls'! 

Maui Island

Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands and is beloved for its stunning sunset cruises and its whale watching tours. The coast area's shallow waters make Maui an ideal spot to see Humpback whales during the winter whale-watching season. There are also plenty of areas on Maui where humpbacks can frequently be seen from the shore during whale season. One of the most popular choices for hotels on Maui is The Outrigger Aina Nalu, with its luxury self-contained apartments in an excellent location. Alternatively why not spoil yourself with The Fairmont Kea Lanai a simply amazing 5 star property right on Polo Beach. There are of course plenty of other hotel options that will suit every travellers budget — simply ask your Travel Advisor for their recommended options or tell us a hotel you already have in mind. 

Whilst on your Maui Holiday, why not snorkle off the coast of Molokini; an amazing underwater Marine Sanctuary where you'll find a flourishing coral reef and plenty of marine animals like Green Sea Turtles!

Oahu Island 

Oahu is the Hawaiian Island where the majority of Hawaii's population lives. This is the home of the state capital Honolulu and the world-famous neighbourhood of Waikiki and Waikiki Beach. Oahu is such an active and vibrant Hawaiian Island with so much variety, there is no shortage of things to do from world class shopping to visiting historic sites such as Pearl Harbour, the National Historic Landmark, where the USA's World War II both began and ended. So whilst in surfers paradise, whether you are after sampling the waves yourself or would simply prefer to watch the experts, we would certainly recommend staying at the beautiful Outrigger Waikiki On The Beach, or the stunning Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach for their perfect location! There are of course plenty of other hotel options that will suit every travellers budget — simply ask your Travel Advisor for their recommended options or tell us a hotel you already have in mind. 

Molokai & Lanai

Lanai is a much smaller Hawaiian island that is the perfect location for a more luxury stay. With only 2 main hotels on the island: The Four Seasons Resort Lanai and Hotel Lanai, this Hawaiian island offers a luxury, secluded escape - the perfect setting for your Hawaii Honeymoon or couples trip!

Molokai remains true to its island roots and offers a look into a more rustic Hawaii. Explore the historic landmarks like Kalaupapa National Historical Park or Papohaku Beach, one of the largest beaches in Hawaii, or go deep sea fishing for marlin or tuna. Molokai doesn't have any large resorts, instead you will find a variety of charming oceanfront hotels, cottages and bed and breakfasts in the central town of Kaunakakai and the village of Maunaloa in the West End.
