Hawaii

Published on:

The Oahu Guide
Even though it’s packed to the palms with activities, the island itself is fairly small—like, rent-a-car-and-see-the-whole-thing-in-a-day small. Plus: There’s hardly a bad time of year to go. Summer begets great snorkeling, winter brings waves, spring has migrating whales, and fall is wonderfully uncrowded. In other words, Oahu always delivers.
The Maui Guide
Maui has a sterling reputation as being the most luxurious island in Hawaii, replete with some best-in-the-world resorts.
The Kauai Guide
Kauai, is the oldest and sleepiest of the main islands of Hawaii—it’s that quiet and low-key. That’s not to suggest there isn’t adventure to be found. Kauai also has some of the best hiking and famously breathtaking coastlines on the planet. Don’t forget Jurassic Park was filmed here.
The Big Island Hawaii Guide
It’s true that every Hawaiian island has something different to offer—and it’s equally true that there is an endless amount of adventure and experiences to be had even on a single island. So we set out in all directions: We took the kids to Hawaii, we ate the best food on Maui, we dove into everything new on Oahu, and we found calm and quiet on Kauai.
