Aloha!

Hawaii is one of my favorite destinations in all the world to visit. Each Hawaiian Island is different, but they are all a paradise of diverse landscapes, vibrant cultures, and amazing experiences. If you are planning your first trip to Hawaii, here are five things you must do on your first trip to Hawaii.

1. See the Underwater World: Of course the experiences you will have on land in Hawaii are priceless, but when you capture a glimpse of the underwater world of colorful coral reefs, tropical fish and sea turtles, you'll be hooked. Whether you're a seasoned snorkeler or a first-timer, the vibrant marine life will completely captivate you.




2. Take a Hike: Both experienced hikers looking for a lengthy and challenging hike and those that just want a leisurely stroll will find breathtaking landscapes that you would miss out on if you never looked beyond the beautiful beaches. Hike to the top of a dormant volcano or take a trail in search of a hidden waterfall. Both are sure to be the highlight of your trip you don't want to miss.

 



3. Attend a Traditional Luau: You'll definitely want to Immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture by experiencing a traditional luau. The rich history, music, dance, and, of course, delicious cuisine all tell the stories of Hawaii. You'll leave the luau feeling a deeper connection to Hawaii's heritage and with priceless memories to go along with it.



4. Utilize the Expertise of a Travel Advisor: Each Hawaiian Island is so diverse and knowing where to start on planning your first Hawaiian vacation is not always easy. As a Hawaii Destination Expert who has experienced the islands myself multiple times and planned dozens of clients' trips, you can be sure that I always customize the perfect Hawaiian vacation for my clients that is tailored to their dreams for their Hawaiian adventure. I LOVE to plan Hawaii.

The amazing weather
Weather in Hawaii is amazing year-round. The best time to visit? Any time. The weather is always somewhere between 70-90 degrees.

No Passport required
That’s right! Hawaii is a part of the USA, meaning, there’s no need for a passport to travel there. It makes it so easy to just call your favorite travel agent to book the trip, grab your luggage and go.

Sunsets and Rainbows
This should need no further explanation! Watching the sun set into the ocean and leave a sky full of pinks, purples and reds is a magical view you won’t get anywhere else. And the colors in the rainbows are more vibrant than anywhere I’ve ever seen.

Unique and Memorable Destination
No where else in the United States can you find such variety in one destination. From beaches and mountains, to waterfalls and hiking and everything in between, your anniversary trip to Hawaii will be remembered forever. And if you’ve never experienced the Aloha Spirit – the warm welcome you will receive at every turn in Hawaii – well, it’s not really something I can put into words – you just need to experience it for yourself.

No other resorts in the world are so completely dedicated to couples in love.
