Heads Up
- 1. book inter-island flights early
- 2. reserve Diamond Head, ʻĪao Valley, Waiʻānapanapa, and any national park timed/parking requirements that apply
- 3. don't overdo the Road to Hāna in one day
- 4. keep a warm layer for Haleakalā and Volcano
- 5. respect ocean conditions — Hawaii beaches can look calm until they aren't
