18 days in Hawaii Itinerary

In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its center of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism.

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve has been added to your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to Haleiwa (Wys Galleries, Pakaloha Bikinis - Oahu, &more), Kailua (Kailua Beach Park & Lanikai Beach) and Pupukea (Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument & Ehukai Beach Park). There's much more to do: take in the pleasant sights at Diamond Head State Monument, stroll the grounds of USS Arizona Memorial, steep yourself in history at Battleship Missouri Memorial, and explore the galleries of Iolani Palace.

Springfield to Honolulu is an approximately 13.5- hour flight. You can also do a combination of bus and flight. The time zone difference moving from Central Standard Time (CST) to Hawaii Standard Time (HST) is minus 4 hours. Plan for a bit warmer nights when traveling from Springfield in June since evenings lows in Honolulu dip to 74°F. Wrap up your sightseeing by early afternoon on the 28th (Sun) to allow time for travel back home.
