About

Pre-Departure Information

A little preparation before you leave can make your Hawaiian vacation much easier. Confirm your flights, accommodation and airport transfers, and check your airline’s baggage allowance before packing. It is also helpful to review the weather forecast and reserve popular tours, restaurants and rental cars in advance.

Keep digital copies of your important travel documents, notify your bank that you will be travelling, and arrange any medication, phone access and travel insurance you may need. Completing these simple tasks before departure will help you arrive in Hawaii feeling organised and ready to enjoy your trip.

About

Passports & Visas

Hawaii is part of the United States, so international visitors must meet U.S. entry requirements. Travellers should carry a valid passport and arrange the correct visa or travel authorisation before departure.

Eligible Australian and New Zealand citizens can generally visit for tourism for up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program, but they must have an approved ESTA before boarding their flight. Canadian citizens generally do not require a visitor visa or ESTA, although requirements can vary depending on individual circumstances and the purpose of travel.

Entry rules can change, so always check current official information before your trip and apply for an ESTA only through the official U.S. government website.

What to Pack for Hawaii

On my first trip to Hawaii, I packed far too many clothes and ended up wearing only a handful of them! Hawaii’s relaxed tropical climate makes it easy to pack light, which also leaves more room for souvenirs and shopping.

Bring comfortable, lightweight clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, casual dresses and swimwear, along with sandals or slippers and a pair of comfortable walking shoes. A hat, sunglasses and a light jacket are also useful for sunny days, air-conditioned restaurants, cooler evenings and higher elevations.

If you forget something, don’t worry—stores such as Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls and TJ Maxx are great for affordable clothing and travel essentials. Serious shoppers may even want to leave some spare room in their suitcase for the journey home!

About

Money and Currency in Hawaii

The official currency in Hawaii is the United States dollar (USD). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions, but it is still helpful to carry a small amount of cash.

I recommend keeping a few $1 and $5 notes for tips, small purchases and places that may not accept cards. ATMs are available at banks, hotels, shopping centres and grocery stores, although both the ATM operator and your own bank may charge withdrawal fees.

Before travelling, let your bank know you will be overseas and check whether your card has international transaction or ATM fees. This can help prevent unexpected charges or your card being temporarily blocked while you are enjoying your holiday.
