When I lived in Hawaii for 6 years, I was perfectly situated to explore the top attractions as well as discover hidden spots. Ready to escape to island life with waterfalls, volcanoes, and aloha spirit? These top places to visit in Hawaii offer breathtaking nature, rich traditions, and unforgettable experiences across the islands.

Highlights:

Marvel at the cliffs and beaches of the Na Pali Coast—I’ve stood at those lookouts and honestly, the views took my breath away. If you get the chance to boat or hike along the coast, you’re in for something unforgettable.
Explore the Big Island’s volcanoes and black sand beaches—I’ve walked through lava tubes and watched steam rise from the earth. You’ll feel like you’re on another planet—in the best way.
Relax on Waikiki Beach, then hike Diamond Head—I've done both in one day and loved every second. You can unwind in the morning and still catch incredible views before dinner.
Discover waterfalls and lush jungle along the Road to Hana—I’ve driven that winding road and pulled over more times than I can count. You’ll find hidden gems around every corner.
Immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture—I’ve felt the spirit of aloha most deeply during a traditional lu?au or visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center. You’ll walk away with more than just memories—you’ll carry the culture with you.
