I was surprised by the cool nights in Oahu but the constant breeze made it even cooler. I’d suggest buying a hoodie or jacket from Hawaii instead of packing one. That way you get a souvenir and something to keep you warm at night if it gets too cool for you.

We bought reef safe sunscreens, and they were awesome. But our water shirts were game changers. We needed so much less sunscreen and could wear them in and out of the water as we walked around town or hiked too, which meant less shirts needed overall and less sunburn!

Thanks again for another great vid! I swim/snorkel a lot, and HATE to get salt water and sand in my ears so... I wear earplugs and use "bone conduction" headphones for music; I get the ones that play through the cheekbone. (FINIS is my favorite, and yeah, very clear)... just load your playlist.😁

Packing cubes are must!!! I unpack my suitcase into the drawers with clothing still in the cubes and it makes it a breeze to repack when it's time to leave. I also think a hat, sunglasses, rash guard/sunshirt, light summer clothing,(puffy jacket-Haleakala)water shoes/sandals, bug spray, microfiber towel, water bottle, smart phone, battery bank will pretty much do it. You can rent or buy pretty much anything else you might need.

Great list! We bring all these. If we're staying in a hotel, we also pack a super-flat, collapsible cooler for picnics and a collapsible backpack (=stuffs into its own tiny bag) for hikes/shopping. We always have those cords that keep your sunglasses from falling in the water, and we prefer to pack our own mask and snorkel (we rent fins). I also like to pack a backpacking towel and big, loose sun dress to change into/out of swimsuit under, for if we're driving around and unexpectedly see a great place to hop in the water.

Great list. I think you’ve covered the important points. When I travel anywhere, I pack a pillowcase so I can be sure that my face is laying on some thing clean and in case there’s soaps/etc. irritate my skin. I bring my own mask and snorkel so I know that it fits right and is well sanitized. Of course you can easily rent or buy. Definitely bring a waterproof pouch for your cell phone, it also helps to keep sand out. And a small waist pack to carry essential items. Things that I would need, but can easily buy when I get there… Sarong which have so many uses, Hat with a good brim, insulated bag either medium or large to keep food and other stuff cool.

So often folks think the sunscreen they are bringing is reef safe because the words are not well regulated. As a seasoned Hawaii visitor, I suggest folks simply buy their sunscreen on the island where the state has regulated their use appropriately and banned the sale of ones that say "reef safe" but aren't. What I always pack: 1. Rashguard pants & shirt- yes I snorkel with full coverage. Science is starting to suggest even mineral sunscreens are bad for the reef, so I'm aiming to wear as little of it as possible 2. My own snorkel mask/fins, well-fitted ones matter, but only buy them if you are going to do it at least every year. Avoid "full face" ones as they are actually kind of dangerous despite feeling more intuitive. 3. Very breathable full sleeve length shirts, like linen- still to avoid sunscreen 4. a thin but slightly oversized rain jacket/windbreaker with a hood 5. Watershoes or hiking sandals designed for water 6. Refillable water container in a hiking sling bag with a front pocket 7. 2 Turkish towels per person- very quick drying, and not leaving microplastics around like microfiber equivalents. One protects your car seat from water/mud that may get on you during swims/hikes, the other to dry yourself. 8. Stream2Sea leave-in conditioner, slapping some into your hair even if you can't rinse the salt out with help loads if your hair dries wild and tangly. 9. A few bathing suits. Most days I use bikinis instead of undergarments because they dry fast if it rains, your day is more open to impulsive decisions, etc (and they are easier to go to the restroom in than full coverage) 10. A sunhat, preferably with a strap in case it gets windy or you are wearing on a boat 11. A mosquito bite prevention product, either in a small easy to carry tube, or in wipe form. Keep in sling back front pocket. 12. Cut pieces of moleskin for spots where your shoes start to rub your feet raw on hikes. Keep in your sling bag front pocket 13. Dramamine for boat tours 14. Reusable bag for shopping/farmers markets 15. A go-pro. Even if you don't want to take underwater pics (you should) a go-pro can survive the rain, or splash on a boat, or getting dropped or bonked on things (latter back onto the boat for example). A cinching wrist strap is highly recommended. Floating handles are great too, but with my wrist strap, I've never needed it, whereas my husband has needed his floating handle several times because he doesn't do the strap. He's way more likely to lose a camera than I am.

So it sounds a bit weird but water shoes are my favorite hiking shoe. They’re great. Wore them hiking in the redwood forest as well as rocky hikes. No water needed. They’ve got such good traction and breathable. If you happen to run across a stream, well you’re covered for that too.

That would make packing life so much easier but I'm really concerned about injury while hiking in just a sandal! I have multiple pairs of GOODR sunglasses - easily the best shades deal on the planet!

A hefty budget would be a good must have item too. .

Can't go to Hawai'i without my oversize straw hat! Also, wanted to double down on the polarized sun glasses. When the sun shining really brightly, the polarized sunglasses let you see the world in vivid colors.

I always pack my waterproof phone pouch. Its perfect for taking pictures in the water or even just using by the pool and not having to dry my hands before touching it.

I’m a big fan of the Olukai shoes. The Nohea Moku boat shoes are great for the beach and for hiking. They dry really fast and they work at the beach and in restaurants. You can slip them on and off really quickly. I think they are a good alternative to the tevas

Only suggestion is to not pack the sunscreen. Save the space in your bag and buy it in Hawaii. You can easily do 7-10 days in HI with a carry-on suitcase, but bringing sunscreen will force you to check it (and depending on the airline for a fee unless you have status). Save space and money, buy it there. But 100% gotta be reef safe.

A pareo - great swim suit cover-up that can also provide appropriate coverage for indoor dining off the beach or use as an emergency beach towel. And - unlike the mainland, slippers (flip flops) are appropriate just about everywhere - no need to pack a huge variety of shoes/sandals.

Best video production! Thanks for the tips. Is it possible to buy Tevaas sandals on the Big Island?

I would assume so, they have a good selection of stores in Kailua-Kona.

True! Every time I check the weather it’s always cold or raining which is very misleading

Back in the early 90's we visited the Islands as a family. My mom packed a huge cooler full of food (milk, veggies, etc.) so she could cook our meals and checked it on the airplane for us to take. I'm not sure that's allowed today but it was a smart idea since food is so expensive in Hawaii and for large families it's not always economical to eat out for every meal.

The trick is to shop local/small. Get fruits and veggies (and eggs!) from the Farmer's Market and noodles from "international" markets. Look for roadside stands selling fruit. Lucerne and Meadow Gold for dairy. Depending on the island, making meals at your rental will save big $$. Except on Maui!! Food Trucks and Local Restaurants are amazing!

I'd like to pack a soft fabric duffel bag. It folds up easily and it held several beach towels plus snorkel gear. Also have a really small first aid kit that I would throw in the duffel bag. Aloha!

Just came home from Oahu! Warm clothes, water shoes (lava rocks under water), sun glasses, hat, backpack, reusable water bottle, your own metal fork, heavy duty sandals, zinc sun block, swim suits that cover shoulders and back. If fair skinned swim 8 am to 11 am and 4 pm to 8 pm.

Perfect timing, we will be in Maui next week! Question about Pearl Harbor, is it true they allow visitors to bring clear plastic bags? Great info about the canvas bag!

Love your channel! We used your travel guide in January for a short couples trip. Now we’re planning a big family visit and using all your tips and tricks. You referred to a discount code for Teva in this video but I don’t see a link in comments. Do you have an affiliate link I can use? I want your family to benefit as much as possible for all your hard work. Thanks!
