Hawaii is the perfect destination for group trips. Whether you’re taking your big family to the Big Island or saying Aloha again to old friends, you can take advantage of preferred rates, epic tours & excursions, and comfortable accommodations.

Since it’s impossible to squeeze all of Hawaii into a single article, we’re focusing on the most well loved group-friendly destinations: Honolulu (Oahu), Kahului (Maui), Kauai, and Kona (Hawaii Island). That being said, you can tailor-make your group trip anywhere in Hawaii with our Group Travel Experts!

Read on for our top recommendations for experiences and hotels to pull off the perfect Hawaiian getaway.

Travel Expert Tip

The larger your group, the earlier you’ll want to book your trip. This is especially true now that post-pandemic getaways are in high demand!

What to Do in Hawaii: Best Group-Friendly Activities

It’s true that there’s something for everyone in Hawaii, but the islands do lean more in favour of the adventurous, the outdoorsy, and the hungry. If that sounds like your crew, you’re in the right place!

Hawaii is absolutely bursting with natural wonders. You can’t go wrong with visiting volcanoes, wandering to waterfalls, hiking through national parks, and enjoying beautiful beaches.

There are also heaps of outdoor sports to enjoy as a group: golfing, snorkelling, kayaking, surfing, and cycling just scratch the surface.  Once you’ve worked up an appetite, a luau is always on the table, along with guided tastings of local wines, whiskeys, beers, and ciders.

Enrich your getaway with trips to galleries, museums, and plenty of guided tours. Speaking of tours, let’s dive into our top group-friendly recommendations!
