3 (More) Reasons to Holiday in Hawai’i

Between stunning golden shores and captivating volcanic landscapes, the dreamiest holidays unfold in Hawai’i. With our My Hawaii Holiday Packages almost always fully booked, we’ve explored the top reasons why so many travellers love returning to this tropical paradise, again and again.

1. The Aloha Spirit

1. The Aloha Spirit

An admired Hawai’ian belief that signifies compassion, love and mutual respect, the spirit of aloha is more than a greeting – it’s a way of life. Comprised of two Hawai’ian words – “alo” (meaning front or face) and “ha” (meaning breath), aloha shapes relationships between Hawai’ians by evoking a deep sense of sharing and connection. Ancient Hawai’ians viewed greeting someone face-to-face and breathing each other’s essence as a sacred act. Today, aloha is still thought to promote peace, unity and humility. You’ll feel this spirit everywhere you go, from the warm smiles of friendly Hawai’ians to the relaxed, positive vibes floating on salty breezes.

Some people believe that this happy disposition may have something to do with Hawaii’s charming weather. With the sun shining all year round, there’s never a dull moment here. Want your daily dose of vitamin sea? Come to Hawai’i!

Pro tip:
Feel the aloha spirit at every turn with a stay at the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa or The Ritz Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach. From traditional luaus to relaxing Lomilomi massages, these resorts have your holiday needs covered (and then some).

2. The Diverse, Rich Culture

2. The Diverse, Rich Culture

A melting pot of cultures with influences from Samoa, China, Spain, and beyond, Hawai’i boasts diversity like no other. You won’t leave Hawai’i the same, with a wealth of cultural experiences ready to be encountered. Immerse yourself in hula lessons, luau parties, or fascinating war memorials. Bring a piece (or pieces!) of Hawai’i home with you when shopping for locally made goods on the islands, or check out the world’s largest open-air shopping centre at Ala Moana. Flaunting every kind of shop from casual surf gear to first-class boutiques, this centre also features exciting daily events including live Hawai’ian musical acts and traditional dance shows.

Food-lovers, rejoice! While Hawai’i is home to countless popular American restaurants, be sure not to miss the highly-anticipated Hawaii Food and Wine Festival for an authentic taste of culture. Dole Pineapple Plantation affords visitors unforgettable experiences with a pineapple garden maze and the indulgent, infamous Dole Soft Serve on the agenda!

Pro tip:
Enjoy thrilling hula lessons when you stay at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa or the “Magic of Polynesia” cultural show at Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger.

3. The Breathtaking Beaches and Volcanoes

Rest assured that no two Hawai’ian Islands are alike, making this eclectic state a favourite holiday destination for all. Bucket-list hike trails featuring dramatic cliffs and picturesque waterfalls await at Kauai, while imposing volcanic landscapes amaze at O’ahu. Hawaii’s most iconic mountain, Diamond Head rests on the southern end of Oahu and is home to world-famous vistas. A trip to the top is worthwhile and gifts visitors with an unparalleled aerial view of the volcano’s striking centre.

Ideal for those looking to ride the waves, Hawai’i also boasts legendary surfing experiences on almost every island. Book a surf lesson in the gentle breaks, or watch the pros put on a show in some of the world’s largest swells from the comfort of the shore.

Pro tip:
Check-in to The Royal Hawaiian, A Luxury Collection Resort where you’ll welcome direct access to Waikiki Beach and indulgent 5-star hospitality. Likewise, beachfront accommodation with stunning vistas of the verdant hillside and sprawling Pacific await at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa.
