Aloha Vacation Cottages

Big Island Visitors' Information - Checklist For Packing

What To Pack For Your Hawaii Big Island Vacation?

Here's A Suggestion...

Just pack light! A vacation to Hawaii is a laid-back adventure. Here’s the dress code: There isn’t one!
The daytime wear is casual, comfortable. The evening wear is casual, comfortable. As long as your attire is neat, you can wear what you like to restaurants, luaus, and even the theatre (yes, we have theatre here).

*flip flops are the shoes of choice here because they are so easy to slip on and off
before entering a home which is the Hawaiian / Japanese custom to leave your shoes outside.
Flip flops are available here - cheap!
