WAIKIKI

Waikiki is by far the most popular place in Hawaii for visitors but especially Aussies, and for good reason!

Located in the island of Oahu, Waikiki offers it all, beautiful beaches within steps of every hotel, an abundance of dining options, great shopping right on your doorstep and less than an hour to almost every other part of the island. You can spend the day out exploring the cultural heritage of the island, visit pristine beaches or spend some time in nature and still be back pool side by dinner. 

We always recommend first time Aussies stay in Waikiki and use it as a base to explore the many and varied spots throughout Oahu.

HAWAII ON A BUDGET

Hawaii is not known for being 'cheap' like Bali or Thailand but there are plenty of ways to holiday in Hawaii on a budget. With a little forward planning, taking advantage of the many completely free or low cost attractions and not eating in restaurants for every single meal, you can have a brilliant holiday without breaking the bank (too much).

​Our budget guide helps explain all the ways you can save a few dollars in your planning as well as when you are there.
