Useful Information
- Arriving at Honolulu International Airport can be a spectacular start to your trip, especially when landing on the famous reef runway jutting into the Honolulu Harbor. Book a lei service to welcome you to the islands if your resort or hotel does not already offer it. The fragrance and freshness of the flowers will be the perfect start to your stay in paradise.
- There are dozens of free magazines all around Waikiki that offer guides to many free or discounted activities in Honolulu and Oahu. Pick one up as soon as you can to check out what’s currently going on in and around your accommodations. You won’t want to miss anything!
- Casual attire is a must when sightseeing the area, especially on balmy days in summer. However, many restaurants and nightclubs have a strict dress code so make sure you pack appropriately for the finer occasions.
- There are two Hawaiian words that will be spoken many times over the course of your trip: Aloha which means hello or goodbye and Mahalo, which means thank you.
- Although many people might think locals walk around in their bathing suits all day, this is of course a misconception. Dress appropriately with shirts and shoes wherever you normally would. Otherwise, you run the risk of being turned away.
- Hotels will stock your mini-bar and refrigerator in your room but at quite an inflated cost. I recommend finding a market to purchase some snacks for your room. Your concierge can direct you to a nearby convenience store that sells groceries. Popular ones in Hawaii are ABC or Longs.
- The people of Hawaii are very relaxed except when it comes to taking care of their islands. Drivers are courteous and do not overly speed or rush on the roadways so make note and slow down, be polite, and thank other drivers who let you in. On the flip side, be very sensitive to the natural environment, the locals are very protective of their beaches, parks, volcanoes, and natural spaces. Take care around plants and wildlife, disturb as little as possible, don’t ever litter, and always ask before taking anything – there a many protected species in the island.
- Taxi drivers should be tipped 15-20%. Maid service should be tipped $1-$2 a night. Tips are a big part of the services provided in Honolulu and throughout Hawaii. Salaries factor in certain tipping standards. If you are unsure, get a tipping guide online before you go or ask your concierge.
