However, if you can look past the long flight, than you will experience a vacation of a lifetime. It is recommended that when visiting travelers rent a vehicle to truly experience everything that Hawaii has to offer.

You may even want to consider a flight or boat ride to one of the many neighbor islands of Hawaii. Each of hawaii's islands has it own name and unique natural features. The Hawaiian Islands include: Maui (the Valley Island), Kaho'olawe (the Target Island), Lana'i (the Pineapple Island), Moloka'I (the Friendly Isle), O'ahu (the Gathering Place), Kaua'i (the Garden Isle), and Ni'ihau (the Forbidden Isle).

That said, you should never ask a Hawaiian if they take US currency or have been to the United States. Much like other states, people who are "From Hawaii" live in American houses and wear American clothes, very few people in Hawaii have every worn a grass skirt or lived in a hut. If you come to Hawaii expecting to see third world island homes, be expected to be called a Haole or foreigner.
