I’m a frequent visitor to the island state. Here’s everything on my packing checklist from apparel and accessories to sun protection and gear.
Watch videoThe first time I visited Hawaii was with my now-husband in 2009. Somewhere along a secluded volcanic rock trail near Wailea in Maui, he proposed. Since then, we’ve returned countless times—now, with our kids, who’ve grown up with happy memories across the Big Island, Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and Lanai.
While you shouldn’t overthink packing for Hawaii, it pays off to be prepared for all the different ways you’ll spend your days: from lounging by the pool to trekking through rainforest trails. The key is keeping things light, breathable, and versatile. I pack with the goal of feeling comfortable and pulled-together. My Hawaii suitcase is always a mix of easy fabrics, functional gear, and capsule pieces that work anywhere.
