So, you’ve touched down in paradise on a private jet to Hawaii. Now what? Instead of following the typical tourist trail, why not experience the islands the way locals do? From remote beaches to serene hiking trails, these hidden gems offer an authentic connection to the islands (without the usual crowds).
Buckle up because we’re about to take a journey to four off-the-beaten-path destinations that will make your luxury escape even more unforgettable.
Haleakalā National Park, Maui
After landing your private jet to Hawaii, begin your Aloha adventure at Haleakalā National Park, a mystical expanse known as the “house of the sun.”
Spread over 30,000 acres, this park is centered around a dormant volcano that covers more than 75 percent of Maui. Imagine landscapes that transport you to another planet, with Mars-like red deserts and ethereal rock gardens awaiting you near the summit.
The park also offers several hiking trails, which vary in difficulty. So whether you’re in for a quick stroll or a challenging trek, you’ll find something to suit your vibe.
As the crowds tend to flock to other areas of Maui, you’ll likely have much of this natural wonder to yourself, giving you a sense of true exclusivity.
South Shore, Kauai
Looking for something more serene and close to the ocean? Consider losing yourself in the beauty of Kauai’s South Shore, a place so pristine it feels almost undiscovered.
Dubbed the “Garden Island,” it boasts untouched landscapes that attract snorkelers and swimmers alike. This island paradise features Poipu Beach, known for its extraordinary beauty and the exhilarating natural blowhole that shoots water 20 feet into the air.
A visit to Old Kōloa Town is a must for history buffs and curious wanderers, where quaint shops, dining spots, and cultural exhibits about Kauai’s sugar history await. Don’t miss out on the Kōloa Heritage Trail, a 10-mile path that offers a narrative journey through the island’s rich past.
Lānaʻi
Over on Lānaʻi, you’re greeted with an island experience that promises both solitude and splendor. Established in the early 1900s, originally as a plantation town for the pineapple industry, this is Hawaii’s smallest inhabited island.
Locals frequent Lānaʻi for a reconnection with both land and culture. As TV host Lanai Tabura aptly puts it, “It’s one of those places where you can still feel the aloha spirit.” Boasting a private island feel and high on amenities and adventure, Lānaʻi is a haven for hiking, mountain biking, and off-roading by jeep.
You may also stop by the cat sanctuary, indulge in unique shopping and dining, and immerse yourself in history and culture at the Lānaʻi Art Center.
North Shore, Oahu
If you’re into beach vibes but want to skip the packed crowds of Waikīkī, the North Shore of Oahu is where you want to go. Just an hour from Waikīkī, this iconic stretch is a legendary spot for surfers, but you don’t need to ride the waves to appreciate the stunning beauty.
Seven miles of white sandy beaches—such as Waimea Bay, ʻEhukai Beach (home of the Banzai Pipeline), and Sunset Beach—entice with their natural allure. A casual stroll in Haleʻiwa Town reveals local eateries, shopping, and the refreshing delight of rainbow-flavored shave ice, promising the authentic taste of Oahu life.
