If you have never travelled to Hawaii, or you have never read James Michener’s book “Hawaii”, and you’re planning a trip, get the book and read it. Published in 1959, the year that Hawaii became the 50th state, the book is an excellent introduction into the history and culture of the state. It discusses the arrivals of the different people who make up the mixed culture of the islands, starting with the original Hawaiians who sailed from Bora Bora. See more about travel aids for Hawaii and other places at our Post Travel Planning Tools. You can get the book at Amazon.com. Having this knowledge will prepare you to more meaningfully interact with local Hawaiians.

How to Travel to and Around Hawaii for Couples
Each Hawaiian island is beautiful and unique in its own way. The most visited islands are Oahu, Maui, Hawaii (The Big Island), and Kauai. Oahu is the most visited of all the Hawaiian islands, with nearly 4.7 million visitors annually. It is primarily defined by the state capital of Honolulu. Maui and Hawaii (The Big Island) are also popular choices. Kauai is the smallest and least visited of the 4 main islands, but many argue it’s the most beautiful.

Because Hawaii is a series of Islands, if you plan on visiting multiple islands you will need to fly with inter-island flights. While there are some options to inter-island flights, we recommend using Hawaiian Airlines. We also prefer Hawaiian Airlines as a way to travel to the islands.
