Honolulu, Oahu — 2 nights

Big Pineapple

In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its center of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism.
Kick off your visit on the 3rd (Fri): look for all kinds of wild species at Wildlife Areas. Keep things going the next day: steep yourself in history at Iolani Palace, contemplate the long history of Battleship Missouri Memorial, then explore the different monuments and memorials at USS Arizona Memorial, and finally explore the different monuments and memorials at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

To see ratings, where to stay, photos, and tourist information, you can read our Honolulu tour itinerary builder.

Atlanta to Honolulu is an approximately 10.5-hour flight. You'll gain 5 hours traveling from Atlanta to Honolulu due to the time zone difference.

Wrap up your sightseeing on the 5th (Sun) early enough to fly to Kailua-Kona.

Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii — 3 nights

Heart of the Kona Coast

Thanks to its favorable location near a mountain range blocking the northeasterly trade winds, Kailua-Kona gets little rainfall, allowing adventure seekers and nature lovers a chance to enjoy over 300 days of sunshine each year.
Kids will appreciate attractions like Swim with Dolphins and Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. When in Kailua-Kona, make a side trip to see Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area in Puako, approximately Puako away. There's lots more to do: play a few rounds at Mauna Lani Resort , relax in the rural setting at The Vanillerie, look for all kinds of wild species at Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, and stop by 2nd Wave Beach and Boat.

To find ratings, maps, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Kailua-Kona vacation planner.

The Aloha State
An archipelago of hundreds of volcanic islands located in a geological hot spot in the middle of Pacific, Hawaii offers diverse natural scenery and a warm tropical climate. The six major islands open to tourism draw visitors with their sun-drenched public beaches and craggy natural trails. Thanks to their mid-Pacific location, the islands boast a vibrant native culture influenced by both North America and Asia. You can spend your vacation basking in the modern comforts of the big hotels, but to experience the true spirit of these islands, remember that real Hawaiians live outdoors. Encounter nature by surfing, swimming, fishing, and picnicking, or join a guided tour across the ancient lava flows to the top of Hawaii's rugged volcanic peaks.
