Two holidays in one: Kauai and Oahu

With six islands open for exploration in Hawaii, combining at least two of them into an itinerary can prove to be a beautiful, contrasting experience.

It’s worth your clients considering a Kauai-Oahu holiday combination – it’s like having two Hawaii vacations in one!

Kauai presents a country escape with unmatched natural scenery, almost-deserted beaches, and a raft of rural offerings. Oahu provides a sun-kissed urban adventure with premier shopping, dining and nightlife opportunities.

Enable your clients to enjoy the best of both islands together with this nine-day itinerary.
