There are some things best left at home:
  • Heavy Bulky Items: Leave bulky winter clothes and heavy shoes behind. Embrace the light and breezy Hawaiian style.
  • Fragile Souvenirs: Fragile souvenirs risk breaking in your luggage. Consider buying souvenirs upon arrival.
  • Excess Electronics: Pack only the electronics you'll need. Focus on enjoying the natural beauty and cultural experiences of Hawaii.
  • Illegal Items: Research prohibited items in Hawaii (e.g., certain types of plants or agricultural products).
 
  1. Heavy clothing – Hawaii's warm weather doesn’t require jackets.
  2. Excessive electronics – Keep it simple, only essentials.
  3. Expensive jewelry – Risk of loss or theft.
  4. Uncomfortable shoes – Opt for sandals or water-friendly footwear.
 
  1. Heavy Jackets & Jeans – Hawaii has a warm tropical climate; light clothing is best.
  2. Too Many Shoes – Stick to flip-flops, sandals, and one pair of hiking shoes.
  3. Snorkel Gear – Most beaches offer rentals, so no need to carry extra weight.
  4. Formal Attire – Hawaii is casual; even upscale restaurants accept aloha shirts and dresses.
