A wide and varied range of hotel and resort focuses make choosing Hawaii as a destination easy, but where to stay challenging. ALG Vacations^® has created an easy matchmaking guide to help travel advisors better pair their customers with properties across the islands.

Specifically for the Big Island of Hawaii, people think of Kona coffee, black sand beaches, and lava fields ribboned with scarlet rivulets from the heart of our planet. However, what they don’t really think of how to see these attractions. That’s why travel advisors work with tour operators like Amstar DMC. For the Big Island, these are the tours that we recommend putting high up on your wish list.

Something exciting to do as ohana is never far when you’re in any of Hawaii’s gorgeous islands. The highest concentration of all-ages activities is in Oahu, the most populous of the islands. It’s where the state’s capital of Honolulu is located, along with the historic Pearl Harbor and royal palace of a time before statehood. This gives visitors an easy way to hop from city to sea without missing a beat.

Oahu is busy, busy with lots to do. In fact, it’s the only island in Hawaii with highways. From city to surf vibes, historical buildings to quiet beaches, plus world-class dining and music and festivals to match, visiting Oahu means getting a full panoramic experience of what the spirit of aloha is. By planning in advance, don't worry missing something important, like any of our top five recommended Oahu experiences.

As much as Oahu is recognized as a family-friendly destination, Romer House Waikiki offer adults an alternative.
