Top Parks in Hawaii

If you have a few extra bucks, consider taking an Uber instead of parking. The parking fee adds up, and it can be hard to find a spot.

try to visit on a weekday if you can. the weekends are super busy, and you’ll be stuck in lines longer than you want.

If you want to catch a great sunset, head to the beach by 5:30 PM. Bring a picnic; it’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The food options in the area can be pricey, and there's plenty of space to picnic in the park.

If you want unique photos, hit the park during golden hour – just before sunset. The light is magical, and you can avoid those harsh midday shadows.

I suggest grabbing some lunch at a local food truck nearby before heading in. Save some bucks because the park food is pricier, and you wouldn't want to spend all your cash on mediocre snacks like I did!

Bring some water and sunscreen, especially if you're planning to hike. It can get pretty hot, and you don’t want to be caught unprepared!
