		<description><![CDATA[ So you’ve picked the Hawaiian island that’s perfect for you and now you must determine the logistics of getting there. Every first time visitor has faced the head scratching challenge of finding the right airport to begin their Hawaii vacation. I want to help you understand how to navigate with ease in Hawaii. As you may have been researching airport options in the Hawaiian Islands, you may have noticed that some islands have multiple airports. Though some islands may have a small regional airport that appears to be more convenient on paper, I recommend you opt to fly into the major airport of each island and here’s why: There’s many more flights and airlines servicing the major airports providing you more options to suit your time schedule. Larger planes fly into the major island airports, with the exceptions of Lanai and Molokai. That means that you are less likely to fly on a propeller-type aircraft. There’s significantly more car rental companies and rental car inventories at the major airports. The major airports are all within an easy driving distance (less than an hour) from all the major resort hotel areas. Let’s take an island by island look at the major airports and special flight considerations. OAHU Oahu’s major airport is in Honolulu with the airport code of HNL . It’s by far Hawaii’s largest airport and hub. Most transpacific flights fly into Oahu. As you research flights from your home airport, you’ll likely discover that almost all your options require you to fly into Oahu first. From Oahu’s HNL, you can easily connect to any other island in Hawaii. MAUI Maui’s major airport is in Kahului with the airport code of OGG. There are a limited number of flights from the US Mainland that fly directly into OGG, but most visitors connect in Oahu’s Honolulu (HNL) airport. The only exception where you might want to consider flying into another Maui airport is if you plan on making secluded Hana (HNM) your Maui vacation base. KAUAI Kauai’s major airport is centrally located in East Kauai in Lihue with the airport code of LIH. There are a very limited number of flights from the US Mainland that fly directly to Kauai, but most visitors connect in Oahu’s Honolulu (HNL) airport. BIG ISLAND (West Kona Side) Most folks coming to the Big Island for a vacation tend to stay on the west side of Hawaii’s Big Island in Kailua-Kona, Keauhou, and the Kohala Coast. The major airport on this side of the island is north of Kona in Keahole with the code of KOA. Just like Maui and Kauai, there are a limited number of flights that arrive directly into Kona (KOA) from the mainland, but connecting in Oahu’s Honolulu (HNL) airport is easily done. BIG ISLAND (East Hilo Side) Though the west side of Hawaii’s Big Island is home to the beautiful beach resort hotels, the east side does have its attractions, namely Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the active volcano, Kilauea.For first time Big Island visitors with a week or more vacation, I recommend you fly into the east side airport of Hilo with the code of ITO to begin your vacation exploring the volcano wonders. Then drive over to the West side for your beach vacation. See more on where to stay on Hawaii’s Big Island . Just like Maui and Kauai, there are a limited number of flights that arrive directly into Hilo (ITO) from the mainland, but connecting in Oahu’s Honolulu (HNL) airport is easily done. LANAI Lanai’s major airport is near Lanai City with the airport code of LNY. To fly into Lanai, you must connect in Oahu’s Honolulu (HNL) airport. MOLOKAI Molokai’s major airport is Kaunakakai in with the airport code of MKK. To fly to Molokai, you must connect in Oahu’s Honolulu (HNL) airport. If you are visiting Kalaupapa National Historic Park, you will need to fly into Kalaupapa Airport with the code of LUP. &#8212; I hope you’ve found this guide to flying into Hawaii to be useful. If your Hawaii vacation includes visits to more than one island, please review my guide to inter-island travel in Hawaii . ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Private breakfast on the lanai at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel After our recent visit to the Big Island of Hawaii , we’ve updated our recommendations of where to dine in Hawaii . Though the Big Island restaurant post was originally published in 2008, we do update it regularly. We aim to try as many new places as we can, which has not been so kind to our waistlines. As I say in the updated post, we don’t take our recommendations lightly. We prepare our list as if we’re giving it to our closest friends and family. We think that dining can be an important part of a memorable vacation. So we hope that you’ll find our recommendations useful for making the most of your Hawaii vacation. We&#8217;re on facebook!

		<description><![CDATA[ Are you going to Maui or Lanai for New Year’s Eve? If you are, you’ll surely have a fantastic time! Between these two islands you’ll find festive dinners, music and fireworks filling up the night sky. Here’s what you will find to help you make your New Year’s Eve plans. New Year’s Eve Fireworks * I’ve confirmed that there will be midnight fireworks on Lanai at Hulopoe Beach by Four Seasons Lanai at Manele Bay.  Andy and I spent a fabulous New Year’s Eve there two years ago. If you aren’t familiar with Lanai, it’s only a 45-minute ferry ride from Maui. The ferry only operates in daylight, so you’d need to stay overnight at either Four Seasons Lana’i at Manele Bay (where the fireworks show will take place), Four Seasons Lana’i Lodge at Koele , or Hotel Lanai. (No matter where you stay on Lanai, an island shuttle is available to pick you up at the ferry and take you anywhere you need to go on the island as well as all your transportation needs.) Before the beachside fireworks, the Four Seasons at Manele will host a New Year’s Eve celebration including a 12-piece band playing a collection of classic rock to contemporary hits. This event is complimentary to resort guests. * I’m awaiting an official announcement about fireworks on Maui. (Usually these decisions are made/announced very close to New Year’s Eve.) In previous years, there have been fireworks in South Maui and unofficially, I’m gathering that there will be fireworks there again this year. If you want to see fireworks from Maui, my advice would be to book one of the New Year’s Eve dinner or cocktail cruises. If there are fireworks, they will most likely find them, plus, you’ll probably see lots of residential fireworks. Here are companies that I know are offering New Year’s Eve cruises: Pride of Maui offers a very popular New Year’s Eve Cruise with appetizers and desserts. Live music, a premium open bar and midnight champagne toast are included. The price is $119.95 per adult. This cruise normally sells out. At the time of publishing, only 75 seats were remaining. See this link for more information and to book online . Alii Nui has a New Year’s Eve dinner buffet sail for $189 per person. Seating is limited to only 40 guests. See this link for all the details and booking reservations . Pacific Whale Foundation has two different New Year’s Eve cruises available – a late dinner cruise and a  cocktail cruise . Pricing starts at 71.95 for adults including a 10% off web price. (Note that they are also offering premium seating cruise too, however it is sold out.) New Year’s Eve Buffets &#038; Dinners &#038; Parties * Enjoy fine dining with a five-course dinner at The Banyan Tree restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Live entertainment provided by Raw Silk and party favors will set the stage for a memorable celebration from 5:30pm to 10pm. The cost is $125 per person. Reservations are recommended. Call (808)669-6200. * Enjoy complimentary entertainment at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua’s Alaloa Lounge from 4pm to 2am. Sugah Daddy, a favorite six-piece island rock band begins playing at 8pm. For more information, call (808)669-6200. * At Ritz-Carlton Kapalua’s Terrace Restaurant , you’ll find a buffet of island-inspired pupus served from interactive chef stations. The evening will be complimented by an assortment of traditional Hawaiian music and hula vignettes. Guests will be presented with a fresh flower lei greeting and festive party favors. The hours for this event are from 5:30pm to 10pm. Pricing is $100 per adult and 50 per ten ages 13 to 17. For reservations or more information call (808)669-6200. * For the kids, the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua is offering a special New Year’s Eve celebration. For children ages 5 to 8 years are invited to make their own pizza followed by an ice cream scavenger hunt. After an early countdown to the New Year, popcorn and a movie will cap the evening. Kids ages 9 and older will ring in the new year with a special buffet dinner followed by a venture into the forested uplands for a guided night hike, followed by painting, snacks and sparkling cider. The coast is $150 per child and inclusive of the dinner. For more information, call (808)669-6200 * The Sheraton Maui in Kaanapali presents a New Year’s Eve Extravaganza buffet from 4pm to 10pm. See the menu here . Pricing is $89 per adult and $45 per children ages 6 to 12. For reservations call 808-921-4600. * Kaanapali Beach Hotel will host A Magical Maui New Year’s Eve Party from 8:30pm to 1am at the Kapanaha Magic Dinner Theater . The evening includes a complimentary cocktail, three-course dinner, dancing, party favors and a midnight champagne toast. Pricing starts at $155 per person for general seating. Reservations are required. See this flyer for more information or call (808)667-0128. *  Umalu at Hyatt Regency Maui in Kaanapali will host a poolside count down to the New Year party. The festivities include the band “Classic Knights” to ring in the 2012. Menu and drink specials will be available. For more information call (808)661-1234. * The Tiki Terrace Restaurant at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel will serve a special four-course dinner from 6pm to 9pm. Live Hawaiian music will be provided.

Live music will play until 12:30am. Pricing is $80 per adult, $60 per child ages 9 to 12 and $40 per child ages 5 to 8. Reservations recommended. For reservations or for more information call (808) 875-5888, email reservations@makenaresortmaui.com Advice &#038; Notes: Unless otherwise noted, you can assume that taxes and gratuity are not included in the pricing listed. I recommend you make your reservations as soon as possible to secure the event you prefer. Seating is limited, particularly on the cruises. Many other resorts and venues will offer special New Year&#8217;s Eve events. If you do not see your resort listed, contact the concierge at your resort for information on their events. Many restaurants will allow children ages four or five and under to dine for free with each paying adult. All pricing and schedules were accurate at the time of publishing. Both pricing and schedules are subject to change. I will update this list when additions or revisions are determined. Mahalo to the Maui Visitors Bureau for their assistance. While you’re in Maui and Lanai start practicing the phrase Hau’oli Makahiki Hou , which is the Hawaiian way to say Happy New Year. It’s pronounced, “how-oh-lay ma-ka-hee-key ho”. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou and happy 2012 to you! © Go Visit Hawaii &#8211; Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
