While the answer depends on your preferences and travel style, we recommend spending at least five to seven days on the island to experience its diverse attractions and activities fully. Ideally, as we noted above, you'd devote a week to 10 days to exploring the island.
On average, count 3 days to discover the Kona region and the west coast, 1 day at the Volcanoes National Park, 1 half to one day if you want to go up to Mauna Kea, 1 day for the north of the island and 2 days around Hilo, without counting the travel times which are relatively long here.
The best time to visit Hawaii is between March and September. This is when the islands see the highest temperatures and the lowest amount of rain. It's the perfect time to enjoy the beach or the water.
The west side of the Big Island is hands down, the best. Here you will find dry sunny days, balmy tropical evenings, beautiful beaches, world-class snorkeling, a developed coastline, quaint shopping areas and more. Popular areas of the west side are the Kohala Coast region, Waikaloa and Kailua-Kona.
Cost. Traveling to Hawaii can get expensive, especially with a family. One thing to keep in mind is that Kona has more hotel options than Hilo — this allows travelers to splurge on a high-end resort or search for more budget-friendly accommodations.
Generally speaking, most tourists who are visiting Hawaii for a tropical paradise vacation experience will want to spend a little more time on the Kona side than the Hilo side. But Volcanoes National Park is closer to Hilo, and so are the impressive rainforests.
How much time do you need in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park? Ferracane recommends spending at least six hours in the park, but ideally one or two days. “The park is so big.
Ideally, you should spend at least one week on each of the four islands. But if you don't have a full month, plan for four to five days per island, then choose one or two regions within each. Make a list of things you want to do in order of importance.
Short But Sweet. For travelers with limited time, a 4-5 day stay in Hawaii can still be immensely rewarding, despite the long journey from the mainland or any other location. It's important to note that adjusting to the time zone change may take a few days.
