The PERFECT 10-Day Hawaii Itinerary [Epic 2023 Guide]

Sea Turtle Hawaii

Our ultimate 10-day Hawaii itinerary includes some of the gorgeous beaches, historic sites and enticing landmarks of the major Hawaiian Islands.

The world-famous tropical paradise of Hawaii is overflowing with thriving rainforests, golden beaches, cultural monuments, and so much more.

Any Hawaiian vacation will refresh the mind, body, and soul through the natural beauty and heartwarming culture of these islands. Though there are eight Hawaiian Islands, our perfect 10-day itinerary will only cover three – Maui, Kauai, and Oahu.

10 days isn’t a huge amount of time for exploring all of Hawaii. You could easily spend 10 days on just one Hawaiian Island! But if you’re hoping to see as much as you can on a 10-day Hawaii vacation, this itinerary should give you a jump start on your planning.

Out of all the Hawaiian Islands, Oahu is the most visited because of its famous attractions, such as Pearl Harbor and Waikiki Beach. For a more undeveloped and rugged option, Kauai is the perfect island to set the scene for a wild adventure of the great outdoors.

Of the three islands included in your 10-day Hawaii itinerary, Maui is the ideal middle ground, offering an in-between of developed and undeveloped areas for exploring. 

We’ve curated this perfect Hawaii island hopping itinerary so you can see the highlights of Maui, Oahu, and Kauai.

If you have enough time to add to your vacation, we recommend island hopping to the Big Island of Hawaii as well. The Big Island has so much to offer and it would be a shame to rush through it in only 10 days, so you’re better off saving the Big Island for a separate Hawaii vacation someday.

What to Know Before Planning Your 10-Day Hawaii Itinerary

Creating a 10 days in Hawaii itinerary is difficult as there is so much to do on these gorgeous islands! Hopping from one island to another can be exhausting and time-consuming, so we’ve decided not to include the Big Island of Hawaii for the sake of time.
