Frequently asked questions about Hawaii attraction tickets

What happens at a traditional Hawaiian luau?

Think island feasting meets cultural celebration. A luau typically includes an open buffet with local dishes like kalua pig and poke, followed by a dazzling Polynesian show with hula dancers, drummers, and even fire knife performers.

What are some free things to do in Hawaii?

You can relax on world-famous beaches like Waikiki or Lanikai, hike scenic trails like Diamond Head or Makapuʻu Point, watch the surfers on the North Shore, visit cultural sites like the Byodo-In Temple, or enjoy a breathtaking sunset, all without spending a dime.

What’s the best way to get around in Hawaii?

On Oʻahu, TheBus is a solid and affordable public transit option. For island hopping or exploring places beyond the city, renting a car gives you the most freedom.

Where should I stay when visiting Hawaii?

It depends on the island and your vibe! Waikiki (Oʻahu) is great for nightlife and city access. North Shore is more laid-back and surf-centric. Maui’s Kāʻanapali and Wailea offer stunning resorts, while Big Island’s Kona side is best for sunshine and snorkeling.

What makes a Grand Circle Island Tour worth it?

If you want to experience Oʻahu beyond the beach, this is the way to go. You’ll circle the island, stopping at scenic spots, lush valleys, surf towns, and cultural gems. Grand Circle Island Tour is a stress-free way to see the best of Hawaii.

What can I expect from a Pearl Harbor tour?

Pearl Harbor tours take you through one of America’s most moving historic landmarks. You’ll visit the USS Arizona Memorial, learn about the events of December 7, 1941, and explore museums that bring history to life.

What’s the best time of year to visit Hawaii?

April, May, September, and October hit the sweet spot — great weather, fewer crowds, and often lower prices. Whale watchers should come from December to April, while surfers flock in winter for epic waves on the North Shore.

How long should I spend in Hawaii?

Ideally 7–10 days if you're staying on one island. Want to hop between islands like Oʻahu and Maui or the Big Island? Give yourself 10–14 days to explore properly without rushing.
