Inter-island flights are also available and will be necessary if you plan on visiting multiple islands. Expect to pay around $100 per person each way for inter-island flights depending on the airline.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to Lanai or Molokai from Maui. If you have less time, it's recommended to visit only one or two islands to fully experience all they have to offer. Make sure to pack comfortable shoes and clothing, as well as reef-safe sunscreen and bug spray. Also, be aware of the weather conditions and check trail and beach closures before heading out.
