When you make $475,000 for each show you perform and can vacation anywhere in the world, where do you go? Britney Spears picked the Garden Isle of Kauai this week, as many of you do too. You can follow her Kauai adventures on Instagram.
Each of the Hawaiian Islands is completely unique. There are, however, many things that make Kauai a standout. Those include fine resorts (such as the Grand Hyatt that Britney chose), great beaches, spectacular scenery plus some extra peace and quiet.
Read “Our favorite things to do on Kauai.”
While you may pay a little more for flights to Kauai, there are many nonstop flight choices from the mainland and more coming soon.
Kauai is great for the adventure traveler while still offering enough shopping, activities and beaches to keep any traveler happy.
Kauai is rustic and rural, with features including iconic Hanalei Bay, Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Parks, waterfalls and the resorts of Poipu Beach and Princeville.
New things coming to Kauai – Look for a new restaurant opening soon in Hanapepe, the Princeville Night Market debuts the second Sunday of every month and Hanai opens in Kapaa showcasing organic foods.

I’m flying from Chicago (ORD) to Maui (OGG) on Nov. 30 and Kona (KOA) to Chicago (ORD) on Dec. 14. Are you anticipating lower fares for the fall? If so, when is the best time to purchase? Currently United has the most direct routes with least layover times – total of $995 for the trip. Of course I will need to book an inter-island flight from Maui to Kauai, too. Should that be purchased now? Thank you. All insights are greatly appreciated. BTW – it seems that low fares/sales seem to exclude the Chicago to Hawaii routes.
Hi Sue,
Best suggestions on timing are here: https://beatofhawaii.com/the-cheapest-time-to-fly-to-hawaii/.
There’s a $728 fare (under 12 hours) round trip on American/Alaska via Seattle. Great price if you want to buy now. If you’re flying inter-island over Thanksgiving, then definitely best to buy soon for availability, pricing.
Aloha.
Flying out to Kauai July 23 for a week then hopping over to Maui for 5 days.
I’ve got some airfare monitoring set up with Kayak but fares have not come down for these dates. Would you have tips on when to purchase airfare for these travel dates?
Will fly out of Oakland Airport and targeting Hawaiian and Alaska airlines.
Do you also have recommendations on who to use for interisland flights?
thanks!
Hi Michelle,
You’ll be flying inter island on Hawaiian Airlines and by the way best to book that as soon as possible. No reason to expect prices to come down for mid-summer, weekend travel.
Aloha.
You should consider flying out of SFO. I believe the airfare is significantly cheaper through SFO vs. oakland airport to any island of Hawaii.
