How to have a great Oahu Vacation and Save Money!

Dear Hawaii visitors,

We are still dealing with the question all Hawaii vacationers ask themselves and the locals which Hawaiian island is the best for their Hawaii vacation vacation! After telling you about best places to stay on your Kauai condo vacation and family Maui vacation rental ideas for your Maui vacation plus how to get FREE vacation brochures for Hawaii, we are talking Oahu Vacation today.

Honolulu International Airport is still the gateway to the Hawaiian Islands, even though more and more Airlines fly direct into Kona International Airport on Hawaii Big Island, Maui's Kahului Airport or Lihue Airport on Kauai. Amazingly 9 out of 10 visitors to Hawaii stop on Oahu for a visit to Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Waikiki has not lost its magic attraction to Hawaii visitors from Japan and the Mainland. And why not stay there for a short Oahu vacation?

Waikiki Beach Hotels offer rates from luxury to affordable. Here are a few advantages for staying at a Waikiki hotel: Hotel shuttles or the public Honolulu bus service take you right to your Waikiki Hotel. If you stay at Waikiki, no car rental is necessary! For touring Honolulu, Honolulu's bus service is excellent and affordable! We took the shuttle from Honolulu Airport to our Waikiki hotel as they told us it's faster than the bus. Well, big mistake as our hotel was the last one in the line of Waikiki Hotels.

Waikiki beach is a nice white sand beach but it can be very crowded. However, Waikiki fancy shops, fine dining restaurants and nightlife attract lots of tourists. For budget shopping, we recommend to take the bus to Ala Moana Shopping Mall. Same applies to restaurants. If you look for affordable lunches and dinners, just walk down a few streets from Waikiki. There are also plenty of condos Hawaii Oahu vacation rental options, if you want to have your own vacation rental place with kitchen.

Oahu vacation is not just Waikiki. Believe us or not but there are miles of white-sand beaches and slow country living with rainbows and waterfalls, tropical flowers and sunsets just 1hr-drive out of Honolulu. Ride the big waves on the North Shore, snorkel a crystal clear lagoon, kayak or sail or just sunbathe on an empty beach. Oahu weather is very moderate with average 82 F and light trade wind breeze blowing. For your best Hawaii vacation, find vacation rental homes in Kailua Oahu Hawaii, Hawaii Oahu rental vacation Waimea or Kailua Oahu Hawaii private home.

When arriving at Honolulu Airport for your Oahu vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, plan your Oahu Vacation with the free vacation brochure for Hawaii Oahu from the Oahu Visitors Bureau or call 1-877-525-6248 (OAHU). This free Hawaii vacation planner is full of information on accommodations, activities, restaurants, car rentals, island maps and more. You can also buy the book 'Oahu Revealed - The ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond' as a companion for your Oahu travel.

How to have a great Kauai vacation and Save Money!

How to have a great Kauai Vacation and Save Money!

Best Hawaii Vacation destination? What do we expect from your best but cheap Hawaii vacation and what are the things you want to do in your vacation? Last but not least, your budget will define which island to go, what to do and where to stay, at a 5-star Hawaiian beach resort or an affordable inexpensive Hawaii vacation condominium. Laid back Kauai, the Garden Isle, might just be right for you...rainforests, cliffs, valleys, swaying palm trees and most impressive, seemingly endless stretches of white sand beaches.

Be prepared though for frequent tropical downpours but these make the island so lush and green. After the downpour, the sun is fast out again and the most beautiful rainbows will be displayed. The readers of 'Travel & Leisure Magazine' have voted Kauai as the best island in Hawaii to spend your vacation 3 years in a row.

Kauai vacation is perfect for the active Hawaii traveler...there are miles of trails through tropical rain forest and along rugged ocean cliffs for passionate hikers, bikers or horseback riders, huge variety of ocean sports from scuba diving, surfing, to whale watching, golf courses from championship courses to affordable local courses invite golfers. We combined on our Kauai vacation our kayak tour on the Wailua River with a hike through rain forest to hidden waterfalls. Won't ever forget that.

With miles of sandy beaches and no resort next to it, Kauai offers lots of quiet spots for relaxation or meditation away from hotel crowds and resorts. When looking for nightlife action, then Kauai is probably not the right place for your Hawaii vacation. Did you know that a Kauai rule is that no building may exceed the height of a coconut tree? So, even on the Kapaa Coconut Coast the height of condo resorts is not higher than 3 or 4 stories.

One can find affordable vacation accommodation on the east coast in the area of the above mentioned town of Kapaa, which is the shopping and resort center. Kapaa has made a great comeback after hurricane Iniki flattened the island of Kauai in 1992. We like the central location of Kapaa for vacation activities, shopping, restaurants and beaches. Resorts condos are offered at affordable rates.

Going further north from Kapaa on the one and only road the traveler gets to beautiful Kauai's North Shore with Princeville Resort as a centerpiece. Princeville Resort includes a luxury Sheraton hotel and 10 condo complexes plus lots of new timeshare golfcourse condos. Hanalei is the laid back center of North Shore life with Hanalei Bay beach attracting families with kids because of the calm ocean. Hanalei is the gateway to the wild Na Pali Coast. Be aware that the North Shore has quite a bit more rain than the south point of Kauai.

When arriving at Kauai Lihue Airport for your Kauai vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, order your free vacation brochures for Kauai ahead of your trip or buy the ‘Kauai Revealed’ book as your travel companion for your Kauai travel.

You want to know what the weather is like right now on Kauai, check current Kauai weather in Lihue, Hawaii (for your stay on the Coconut Coast, Kapaa), weather in Princeville (for your vacation at Hanalei or Princeville Resort) or Poipu Resort weather.

Have a great Maui Vacation and Save Money

Our Best Hawaii Vacation Blog provides you with comprehensive information about all the Hawaiian Islands to make it easier for Hawaii travelers to decide which island they want to visit for their Hawaii vacation, whether they were looking for a cheap Hawaii vacation, coast inexpensive vacation condo Kona Hawaii, family Maui vacation rental Hawaii or a Kailua Oahu Hawaii private home.

Hawaii vacation means to most visitors relaxing on white sand beaches and swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean when the Mainland is haunted by cold or rainy weather. The best Maui beaches are located on the West Coast from Kapalua to the historic port of Lahaina with lots of Maui resorts. South Maui is another beach attraction area. Kaanapali is the big family oriented resort area with about 3 miles of white sandy beaches. Whalers Village, a seaside mall with about 48 shops and restaurants is very popular among all Maui visitors. For budget accommodations, Maui condos in Honokowai, Kahana and Napili (built in the 70s), offer excellent bargains at a great location, in a short distance from Kapalua and Kaanapali resort areas.

South Maui can be considered the driest and hottest area on Maui. So, it’s very popular with sun lovers. Kihei on a 7-mile stretch of white sand beaches provides Maui’s best vacation bargain. It’s just the opposite of a Maui vacation at Wailea 5-star resort hotels like the Four Seasons and the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa. Wailea is the ‘playground’ for the celebrities. Wailea has warm, clear water with lots of tropical fish and year-round sunshine and clear blue skies.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, then Makena might be right for you. You can spend a quiet, relaxing vacation on Makena beach. It’s long ways to drive though to any kind of Maui activities. So make sure serenity is what you want for your Maui beach vacation.

As most everybody rents a car for their Maui vacation (there is no public transportation on Maui!), except from the few visitors who take a shuttle to their Maui resort and don’t move from the beach, unless they get a Mai Tai at the beach bar, a trip to famous Haleakala Volcano in Haleakala National Park is a must.

When arriving at Maui Airports Kahului Airport or Kapalua Airport for your Maui vacation, pick up vacation brochures for Hawaii right there. If you want to be better prepared for your best Hawaii vacation, order your free vacation brochures for Maui ahead of your trip or buy the ‘Maui Revealed’ book as your travel companion for your Maui travel.

Best Hawaiian Luau Show

What is a Best Hawaii Vacation without attending one of our special Hawaiian luaus with a typical Hawaiian or Polynesian show?!

Yes, we know it's kind of touristy with all the aloha calling, hula dancing and eating kalua pig which has been cooked covered in ti leaves for hours in a Hawaiian 'imu' (fireplace in the open made from lava rocks for cooking luau pig and other meats) and being served poi, the original Hawaiian diet. Well, don't miss the food, whether you like it or not (it's definitely an acquired taste) and don't miss the show at the luau because everything what you will experience at your Hawaiian luau is part of the ancient Hawaiian culture and traditions.

The highlight of any Hawaiian luau is the Samoan or Polynesian Fire Dance. One can see some dare devils there, and the fast beat of the drums gets Hawaiian visitors drawn into this special performance. If you have never had a chance to watch a Polynesian Fire Dance, we have two choices for you. Which Samoan or Polynesian Fire Dance do you like best?

Let's hear your choice. If you have seen an exceptional Hawaiian luau show, which you think other Hawaii visitors should see, please, share with us. Tell us Hawaiian Island and hotel or resort. As usual, we are looking forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacation and Accommodation Guide
