Is anyone going to Hawaii for their honeymoon? We are looking into going there but aren't sure the best way to go about booking it. Did you use a travel agency? booked on your own? Any tips are welcomed :)
I'm definitely going but since I have OCD I will be booking it on my own. However, I've read several brides book their Hawaii Honeymoons with Travel Agencies.
We used a travel agency. I didn't want to miss anything and since we are visiting 2 islands I felt more comfortable booking through an agent. With Hawaii I didn't feel like I would save much money by booking on my own and didn't want to waste time on that when there is so much to plan for the wedding.
We went to Hawaii and it was amazing. We did the big island for 7 nights with a day trip to Honolulu (not someplace I'd want to go again because it was too city-like). We lucked out and were gifted our family friends' time share to stay in (which was amazing), so we just booked the flights ourselves. DO NOT fly American - it was by far the worst part of the trip. And definitely rent a car, that was the only thing we regretted not doing (we were able to walk most places where we were though).
My FH and I are going to book there too. If you on on the Hawaii travel website they send your free travel magazines. I know being a teacher gets me a discount on Hawaiian airlines but I think we are going to talk to a travel agent to see what they recommend and then take it from there. My FH likes to plan things on his own and do more outdoor adventure type stuff, hikes, bike rides...I've heard renting a car is a good idea as well.
We're not going for our HM but we got engaged there and booked through a travel agent for our flights and rental cars and booked the hotels on our own. I didn't want the liability if anything got messed up with our reservations for flights/cars.
That sounds awesome! Going to a bunch of different islands is the way to go I think that's what we're going to try and book for. Two of my friends are from Maui and highly recommended Kuaui [they said it's the least touristy and most romantic]
My FH wants to stop in Vegas on the return
We booked on our own. Flying direct using hawaiian air. Staying 6 nights in waikiki. Were gonna rent a car to see all different parts of the island and several beaches, check out restaurants and bars, etc. then were taking a 7 day cruise on NCL pride of America. Leaves outta Honolulu and goes to all the islands, Kauai, Hilo, etc. can't wait!!!
We booked ours for Hawaii too. We are taking the non-stop Hawaiian Airlines from JFK which will be long but worth it. We are staying three days in Oahu and then 7 in Maui. We plan on doing a few excursions, I definite want to see Pearl Harbor, Road to Hana and the old hawaiian luau. We were thinking about doing a catamaran sail as well. Luckily we have a family friend who works for Starwood and we got a crazy deal on the hotels but if not for that, I dont know if we could have afforded it.
I've been. I used a travel agency but you can def do on your own. I did 4 nights in Kauai, 6 nights in Maui, and 2 in Oahu. I stayed at the Hyatt on all 3 islands. They typically offer a deal. I loved Kauai and Maui! Def rent a car so you can explore!
