Hawaiian vacations offer a fabulous range of things to do and see, and just as good a range of things to eat. Everybody enjoys their vacation in Hawaii, no matter the reason for them choosing it. People have many different reasons for visiting the archipelago, from getting married there, that many do, taking a short vacation during school holidays or having an annual holiday lasting two weeks or more. Irrespective of their reasons for visiting this group of 19 islands and atolls, there is so much to do that many find it difficult to decide what they should pack.

Clothes: Hawaii can be warm, but it can also be cool and rainy, so don’t just pack shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops. You should also include something warm, and also pants and socks. Swimming gear is essential along with a beach towel, and sunscreen is a must. There are few formal events so leave the suit, but you might be glad of some form of warm jacket and even a cool shirt to cover your shoulders and arms.

Activities: Even though you will be busy seeing the sights and attractions in Hawaii, you should also pack some activities that you can do in case you have to stay inside. If you should have a rainy day, you might decide to stay in bed and just read a book. For the kids taking games and books along is important in case you take a long drive somewhere or you want to just relax.

Camera: Don’t forget your camera. This is an important item as you’ll want to take photos of all the great places you visit. You can also enjoy taking videos if you have a video camera. Also make sure you take some back up batteries, and of course more than one memory card.

Travelers Checks: Instead of taking a lot of spending money with you, it’s always safer to use travelers checks. You should organize this prior to leaving for your vacation. This also allows you be sure you won’t spend too much by just taking the amount that you budget for your trip.

Fishing Equipment: Hawaii offers lots of fabulous fishing and diving around the coast, including sports fishing and reef diving on the coral reefs surrounding the atoll. If you want to take advantage of that, make sure you take your wet suit and scuba equipment and also your fishing gear. There is a wide variety of fish to be caught round the shores and in the lakes and rivers, so make sure you know what is legal. You can hire equipment there if you don’t want to travel with it but most prefer to take their own.

There will obviously be other things that people will need during their Hawaii vacations, and most people will make a list so that they are less liable to forget important items when packing. Insect repellant and a small first aid kit for example, and don’t forget your tickets and brochures, or your passport if you need one. Otherwise, just relax, enjoy the trip there and have a fabulous time in Hawaii. And don’t forget the toothbrush!
