Southwest® flights from Hilo (Island of Hawaii) to Honolulu (Oahu) from $69

Whether you’re going for a quick getaway or treating yourself to a relaxing weeklong vacation, Honolulu has something to offer all types of travelers. For a cultural experience, visit the city’s museums and historical landmarks. Travelers looking to refresh their spirits may want to pass some time at the beach with a tropical beverage in hand. And while residents of Hilo are no strangers to fantastic beaches, Waikiki Beach is a lovely place to spend the morning or afternoon. For a more tranquil scene, Hanauma Bay Preserve may be a little quieter than Waikiki Beach—hang out with tropical fish for the day as you snorkel in the bay’s stunning waters.

Get to know some of Honolulu’s best sites. Snap a pic in front of Iolani Palace, then go inside to tour the historic royal living quarters and explore photos, artifacts, and memorabilia. If you’re interested in seeing some wildlife, the Waikiki Aquarium and Honolulu Zoo are fun stops for kids and adults alike. For hikers, Diamond Head is a must. The Summit Trail to Diamond Head is less than a mile, and the views from the top are spectacular. Lastly, many people visit Pearl Harbor in Honolulu to learn more about World War II history. The Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is an impressive monument that pays homage to those who lost their lives many years back.
