Here are some of the don't-miss parts of a Hawaiian holiday.
FLY: Hawaiian Airlines
Start your holiday by flying with the state carrier.
They fly to every major Hawaiian island, and during the flight, you'll get a taste of the incredible Hawaiian hospitality; expect island-inspired meals and beers from the Maui Brewing Company.
There's no bad time of year to travel to Hawaii; the weather is similar all year round, at around 25 to 29 degrees.
January can be a bit wetter, and many hotels and activities are fully booked around Christmas and the new year.
June to November is technically hurricane season, although there have only ever been a handful of hurricanes that have caused significant damage.
There are events and festivals throughout the year, so choose when suits you and book your flights!
STAY: Sheraton Waikiki
Waikiki Beach is one of the most famous spots on Oahu, and most hotels are no more than a couple of blocks walk from the ocean.
This one is ocean-front, and is gorgeous - think outdoor pools, stunning views, and amazing restaurants.
Great for couples and families, it's the ideal location for shopping, exploring and hanging out at the beach.
STAY: Wailea Beach Resort, Maui
If you want to get away from it all, Maui is the place to go.
This hotel offers simple sophistication; ground-floor rooms that are overlooking the ocean, private decks and free yoga classes.
Expect amazing sunsets from your deck and an excellent restaurant with local food.
