Hawaii is life changing and arguably our favorite state in the US for two main reasons.  The quality of experience is unrivaled and the density of unbelievable hikes, viewpoints, and experiences is unbelievably high.   You can do more in one day on any island of Hawaii that you could do in a week in that vast majority of mainland states.  If you haven’t been yet, put it at the top of your bucket list and be prepared.  A wasted day on Hawaii is exponentially more costly than a day wasted at home, so spend your time wisely and cram as much as you can in…sleep later, you won’t regret it.
