Hawaii all Inclusive Question

Q:
Hi, my name is Tony

We are in the discussion stage about going to Hawaii. We are looking into a 3 island guided tour through Perillo Tours. My question is , unlike the Caribbean Islands that offer all inclusive and for the most part the food is all good, how does All Inclusive packages stack up for Hawaii? Perillo offers Oahu, Kauai, and Maui with all breakfasts and dinners. Hotel stays at Hyatt Regency Waikiki, Deluxe Sheraton Kauai and Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa.

I would like to see as much of the islands as possible not knowing when our next return trip would be. The package is 11 days 10 nights 3 islands. After all is said and done all I want to know, I guess, is should I go on the all inclusive or go on my own and follow the crowds???

Hi Tony,

Well, personally I would not try to see 3 islands in 10 days. The most I would pack into 10 days would be 2 islands, mostly because all of that packing, moving, and flying time can really eat into your fun and relaxation time. However, if you goal is actually just siteseeing and you want to move that fast, it sounds like a good trip. The hotels you mentioned are all excellent hotels, and the food will likely be top-notch if it is associated with the hotel. You are right, Hawaii is not really known for all inclusive, but it sounds to me like you have a winner, as long as you plan on being back at the hotel for dinner every night. If you like guided tours, then booking the three island tour and letting them do all the work will be a lot easier and less stress than trying to figure it out on your own. I wouldn't advise it for anyone with small children or people who prefer to do their own thing though.

Have a wonderful vacation! Lisa
