Traveling to Hawaii for the first time can be hectic and exciting at the same time. Knowing what to pack and what to leave home can make a big difference in the quality of your vacation. These preparation tips will help you stay calm and arrive prepared for an unforgettable Hawaiian vacation.
Call the airline within 24 hours of your scheduled flight to check for delays and cancellations.
Arrive at the airport at least three hours before your flight is scheduled to depart.
Before leaving for the airport, open your wallet and make sure you have your driver's license, credit cards and cash. Double check to make sure you have your flight information and tickets as well.
Mark every piece of luggage clearly with your identification information, both on the inside and outside.
Lightweight luggage with wheels is best. Be sure to pack light and leave room for extra items that you will invariably purchase on the islands.
Call your hotel and check to see if they provide in room items like hair dryers and irons. If so, you can leave these bulky items at home. Packing easy care clothing that is wrinkle resistant or purchasing wrinkle release spray can keep your ironing on vacation as well.
Pack accordingly. Hawaii's weather is warm and sunny and the temperature ranges from 70-85° F all year. Pack light, brightly colored clothing made of breathable fibers.
Occasional showers may spring up, so be sure to include rain gear with that super size bottle of sunscreen! Hawaii is closer to the equator and the sun's rays are strong! Even if you normally do not burn or think you have an adequate tan before leaving, you will still need a high SPF sun block.
Comfortable walking shoes and a pair of easy to slip on shoes are a must in Hawaii. Dress for warm weather and pack two or more bathing suits since you'll most likely be spending most of your time on the water.
If your hotel has laundry facilities, consider packing half the clothes you will need and washing a load of laundry mid-week.
This really cuts down on your travel gear.
Don't forget to pack your sunglasses and your camera!
If you plan on hiking in the mountains or visiting Volcanoes National Park, temperatures drop drastically and you will need pants and long sleeved shirts that can be layered as the temperature changes during your trek. Packing a flashlight is also a great idea if you plan on hiking trails since some portions of the trail may be dark.
If hiking, pack a small backpack to hold necessities while on the trail.
Be sure to bring your prescription medication since it may be quite difficult to obtain after you arrive on the island.
Make sure your cell phone is programmed with important contact information and phone numbers in case of an emergency. Don't forget to pack your charger as well!
You may need a nice dress or sport coat for fine dining in Hawaii.
Pack light, pack smart, and plan for the unexpected when traveling to Hawaii. Brightly colored clothing is the rule, not the exception in Hawaii so break out your funkiest Aloha shirt and prepare for fun and sun in paradise!
