Here’s how to plan the perfect Hawaiian island-hopping holiday, with a breakdown of what each island has to offer.

Oahu: The Heart of Hawaii

Oahu is where most travellers start their Hawaiian adventure since it’s home to Honolulu and the famous Waikiki Beach. It’s the most developed island, with a mix of city life, history, and natural beauty.

How to Island Hop in Hawaii

Flights

The best way to travel between islands is by short domestic flights. Hawaiian Airlines and Southwest Airlines offer regular flights between Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, usually taking 30–50 minutes. Booking a package with Tailormade Hawaii is the best way to ensure this all goes without a hitch. 

Ferries

There’s only one ferry option—between Maui and Lanai. Otherwise, you’ll need to fly.

How Many Islands Should You Visit?

If you have a week, stick to two islands. If you have two weeks, you can visit three or four islands without feeling rushed.

Island hopping in Hawaii gives you the best of beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls, and adventure all in one trip. Oahu is perfect for first-timers, Maui is great for relaxation, the Big Island offers adventure, and Kauai is a paradise for nature lovers.

No matter which islands you choose, you’re in for an unforgettable Hawaiian holiday. So grab your flip-flops, sunscreen, and sense of adventure—Hawaii is waiting! 

Hawaii and Las Vegas Holiday

 A Dream Holiday: Hawaii and Las Vegas

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation, a trip that combines Hawaii and Las Vegas in the tropical paradise of Oahu. And with stays at the Paris Hotel on the Strip and the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach, you’ll experience the best of both worlds.

Las Vegas: Bright Lights and Big Fun

First stop—Las Vegas! Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, this city never gets old. There’s always something new to see, do, and eat. Staying at the Paris Hotel means you’re right in the heart of the action, with the Eiffel Tower replica towering over you and a little slice of France right on the Strip.

The hotel itself has a lot to offer—cozy rooms with amazing views, a rooftop pool to cool off in, and some seriously good food (hello, Eiffel Tower Restaurant!). Plus, you’re just steps away from all the big attractions.

What to do in Vegas? Well, the options are endless

• Catch an incredible Cirque du Soleil show or a big-name concert.
• Try your luck at the casino.
• Take a stroll to see the Bellagio Fountains dance to music.
• Indulge in Vegas’ famous buffets or treat yourself to a fancy dinner at a celebrity chef’s restaurant.

If you want a break from the Strip, take a day trip to the Grand Canyon or go for a scenic ride on the High Roller Ferris wheel. Vegas is all about living it up, and trust me, you won’t run out of things to do!

Hawaii: Beach Bliss and Island Vibes

After the bright lights and late nights of Vegas, it’s time to slow down and soak up some island vibes in Hawaii. Your next stop? Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach on Oahu, one of the most beautiful spots in the world.

This resort is basically a tropical paradise. It’s right on Waikiki Beach, so you’ll wake up to ocean views, soft sand, and the sound of waves. There are multiple pools, a private lagoon, beachfront bars, and even a luau right at the resort. If you’re into adventure, you can try surfing, go snorkeling, or take a sunset catamaran cruise.

Looking to explore? Oahu has some must-see spots:

• Diamond Head Hike – A bit of a workout, but the views over Waikiki are worth it.
• North Shore – Gorgeous beaches, epic waves, and the famous food trucks.
• Pearl Harbor – A powerful and historic site to visit.
• Hanauma Bay – One of the best snorkeling spots on the island.

And let’s talk food—Hawaiian cuisine is amazing! Try some poke, grab a plate lunch with kalua pork, and don’t forget to cool down with a refreshing shave ice.

The Best of Both Worlds

A holiday that mixes Las Vegas and Hawaii is a total win. You get the thrill of the Strip, the luxury of the Paris Hotel, and all the high-energy fun you can handle. Then, just as you start to crave a slower pace, Hawaii steps in with its beautiful beaches, laid-back vibes, and unbeatable scenery.

Whether you’re partying it up in Vegas, lounging by the ocean in Oahu, or sipping a tropical cocktail while watching the sunset, this is a holiday you’ll never forget. So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your Vegas-to-Hawaii adventure now!
