A Hawaiian vacation is, of course, a dream come true.  There are exotic images, endless beaches,  and  spectacular sunsets everywhere you look.  For nature lovers and tourists alike, Hawaii is heaven on earth.  If you have the time and the money to spend, for sure, you can fly in and take your own little taste of heaven.

Hawaii has a land area of nearly 6,500 square miles, but Hawaii is actually made up of a series of volcanic islands.  Overall, there are 124 islets that make up Hawaii, stretching in a 1,500-mile crescent starting from Cure Island. The eight major islands at the eastern end of the chain are, from west to east, Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and the huge island of Hawaii.  

Situated in the central region of the Pacific Ocean, just below the tropic of cancer, Hawaii is actually the 50th of the United States.  It is popular for its beaches, and the challenging waves that tempt surfers from around the world.  The lush landscape is equally magnificent, with exceptional active as well as dormant volcanoes.  While the climate is considered humid by U.S. mainland standards, the northeast trade winds pass along the great reservoir to produce a delightfully comfortable conditions.  Normally, the temperatures average from 72 F (22 C) in the coolest month to 78 F (26 C) in the warmest, with extremes from 57 F (14 C) to 88 F (31 C).

Because Hawaii is an island, therefore, driving there is not an option.  Traveling by boat can be an expensive alternative, and ferry service is not available.  That leaves air travel as the most common means of transport to sensational, sunny Hawaii.  Luckily, there are frequent and budget-friendly flights to Hawaii.

Tourism is a huge industry in Hawaii, and the steady stream of paradise-bound travelers has prompted the sun-drenched state to develop its own airline.  This, combined with the many travel accommodations offered by friendly and eager-to-please locals, provides a selection of vacation packages catering to both the adventurous and the elite travelers.

Aloha Airlines’ most well-known tour package is the Seven-Day Island Pass.  This airline fare pass provides visitors with the opportunity for unlimited travel over a seven-day stay.

It’s a dream for island-hoppers, allowing travel without boundaries between all of the  islands in Hawaii.  Aloha Island Pass holders can book any number of reservations for travel on selected flights to all of the destinations catered by Aloha Airlines.  Passes may be bought directly at any Aloha Airlines outlet, or through travel agents. Everyone is eligible to purchase Island Passes, but they are non-transferable and non-refundable.

There are numerous flights between all of the major islands, and most airlines charge similar fares.  Air travel is typically relaxed in Hawaii, so it’s not necessary to book in advance to get a fair deal.  Just arrive at the airport, buy a ticket and you’re on your way.   Arranging air travel in Hawaii is so simple; you can even pick up your airline tickets at ATM machines or at local 7-Eleven stores.  Of course, buying tickets from a travel agent or online merchant is always a wise option.

Vacations should be about having fun and enjoying  peace of mind, as well as solitude.  There is no place for worry or for work on your holiday.   Take the time to make seamless travel arrangements, pack your hula shirts, and fly to Hawaii for an island adventure you’ll always remember.
