Hi all, hope everyone is well. I wonder if anyone can help me...
My better half and I want to go to Hawaii at the end of Sept. Today we are booking the flights from London to San Fran, where we can hopefully stay with a friend, and so now we need to book the hotel and Hawaii part of the trip.
However, we have no idea at all which island is the best bet or what part of what island to stay on. I will be taking my camera but not the big guns (unless there is suitable wildlife to warrant a 200-400?) and have the plan of doing landscapes and time lapse mostly - I hear there are some of the best views of the sky at night from parts of Hawaii..!?
So I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience of Hawaii and could offer some tips on where to stay etc as we literally have no idea, and don't want to fly all that way to be disappointed.
We want a mixture of city and quiet, with more emphasis on the quiet (read as, romantic) aspect but the photography plays a very big part for me as well so need those photo ops.
So, any advice appreciated in a very big way :)
