12 Must-See Websites Before Starting Your Hawaii Vacation

Apr 17, 2008 6 Comments by

1. GoHawaii. Our excellent official state visitor site. You’ll find tons of information about each island, our culture, weather, events, things to do and places to stay. This is “the” place to start.

2-7. Official island sites.

8. Official weather forecast from the National Weather Service.

9. Surf forecasts. This isn’t just for surfers, this is for keeping safe in the ocean.

10. Frommers. I suggest you check both their destination guide and their Hawaii travel forum.

11. Tripadvisor. Check out their huge number of reviews for hotels, restaurants and activites. But consider our previous cautions.

12. Flyertalk. They have excellent destination forums with suggestions from both locals and visitors, in addition to their renowned airline and car rental forums.

Added Bonus: Hawaii Magazine. Check out their daily posts. Subscribe (we do!) to their print or digital edition published 6 times a year.

Using these sites will help you plan your best Hawaii vacation.

    First things first!

    Congrats guys! Arthur Frommer’s – the Arthur Frommer’s! – found you and posted about your new blog. That’s the best start you can get.

    Hawaii travelers will find today’s post most helpful. To be honest it seems like a simple one but one has to come up with it. Good resource. Aloha, Pua
