Hawaii is one of the top girlfriend getaways in the world, and it’s the perfect destination for a bachelorette party. There’s A LOT to do and see when you’re in paradise, so I created a list of the best things to do in Hawaii for a bachelorette party.
The Top 101 Things To Do in Hawaii
I’ve grouped these activities by island so you can plan an epic Hawaii itinerary, whether you’re going to one island or all four.
Here are the best things to do in Hawaii for a bachelorette party!
Know Before You Go
A car is essential on all four of the main Hawaiian Islands – Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. Renting cars saves you money because rideshares and hired drivers are expensive. Plus, a rental car gives you flexibility over your itinerary and room for your whole crew.
I drove all over the Hawaiian Islands, but I only had to fill up my tank once on each island because the islands are so small.

What is the number one attraction in Hawaii?
Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head are the most-visited places in Hawaii.
When should I visit Hawaii?
Hawaii is made up of micro-climates, so the weather varies significantly from island to island and from one side of an island to the other. The year-round warm weather (rarely going below the mid-70s or above the mid-80s) means Hawaii is a great destination any time of the year. So Hawaii doesn’t have an off-season.
April – September is the most popular time to visit Hawaii because these are the warmest and driest months. The ocean is calmer, giving you access to more water activities with better sailing conditions. Be prepared to pay the highest prices during these months. The islands will also be crowded, so book accommodation, tours, and rental cars in advance.
The weather in Hawaii is marginally cooler from October – March, and these are the wettest months of the year. Pro Tip: the islands’ west coasts are significantly drier than their east coasts.
October – March is whale-watching season, and the crowds and prices will be lower (though not significantly). These months have some of the largest swells of the year, so surfers will swarm the beaches.
What is the most beautiful part of Hawaii?
All four of the major Hawaiian islands – Oahu, Kauai, Big Island, and Maui – are stunning! I couldn’t choose the pretties because they all have unique and breathtaking landscapes.
What food is Hawaii known for?
Some of the foods Hawaii is most known for are poke, crack seed, ulu, malasadas, shave ice, and Laulau.
