Should I Choose Florida or Hawaii?

Florida or Hawaii?

This is a simple and very popular question, but also a very hard one to answer.

Why?

Because It depends on so many parameters...
If it's all about money and if your vacation is very short, I will have to say Florida. It's usually cheaper and it's closer.

But there is much more to consider...

Do you live on East Coast of West Coast?
Flying to Honolulu from California is fast and can be very affordable. The money factor quickly becomes less of an issue.

Are you looking for great Nightlife action and a strong urban feel?
Florida's got it for sure but Honolulu and Waikiki Beach have it too and even Lahaina or Kihei area on Maui (in a much smaller version though).

You can party there at night while discovering the beauty of the island during the day. This is a big plus in favor of Hawaii.

But the real question is...

Are you looking for a totally different experience, a one-of-a-kind vacation?
If the answer is yes, you NEED to choose Hawaii. The Hawaiian Islands, including beautiful Maui, have nothing to do with Florida.

It's simply another world. A true tropical paradise with breathtaking landscapes, fabulous beaches and people, stunning mountains and volcanoes, rainforest and waterfalls...

Check the Air Travel section to know more about Maui Flights Duration and how to get cheap tickets as well as what Oahu Attractions you should not miss.

Have a look at some Maui Pictures so you get a better vision of this true paradise.

If you don't choose Hawaii this time, make yourself the promise to visit the Hawaiian Islands at least once in your life.

You won't regret it!
