What to Pack on Hawaiian Vacations

Posted March 7th, 2010 by admin

If you are taking a vacation and going somewhere relaxing and tropical, then Hawaii might be your choice of destination. Hawaii vacations are great fun and you and your entire family will have a great time there. You could be going to Hawaii for a spring break vacation, for a wedding, for a business function, or just to relax with your loved one. Here are some ideas of what you can pack for your trip.

Clothes: Don’t overdo the shorts, T-shirts and sun-tops. It can sometimes be cool or wet in Hawaii, so take some pants and a few shirts to cover your arms. A warm coat would be wise - you might be glad of it depending on the time of year, and take some socks. You will definitely need beachwear and towels, but decide in advance what sports equipment you will need that you can’t hire - and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Activities: Although you will be out most of the time, it does rain in Hawaii, and you might be glad of something to do while you are inside. This is particularly true if you have the kids with you, and some games would be a good idea even if they are computer games or a GameBoy or other traveling game. Some books wouldn’t take up too much room, and will come in useful for the children if you have a lot of driving to do. Some visitors like to read while relaxing with a Hawaiian cocktail after their morning swim.

Camera: For taking photographs of all the attractions you’ll see and for fun family portraits, don’t forget your camera. Also, take along your video camera for some great footage. Just in case, don’t forget to take extra batteries and a second memory card.

Travelers Checks: Something not really related to Hawaii, but important none the less, are traveler’s checks. You should take this everywhere you go instead of cash. This way you can control your spending, but you can also make sure you are safe. The worst thing that could happen is if you lose your wallet or purse on while on vacation.

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.

These are just some of the items you need to think about packing when you go to Hawaii, but to make sure you don’t forget anything, be sure to plan your packing with a list. Then relax and enjoy your Hawaii vacation knowing you have everything you need!
