If you’re looking for the best island to visit in Hawaii, you’re in the right place! There are actually 137 officially recognized islands in Hawaii. Don’t worry, you don’t have 137 to choose from. There are eight major islands in Hawaii although one is uninhabited, and one is privately owned. There are six islands that you can visit and four are considered the primary islands for tourism.
One of the most common questions I get is what to pack for Hawaii. When it comes to what to bring to Hawaii, there are a few basic items that everyone will need. My number one tip is not to overpack. Make sure you have some room in your bags (or an extra bag) to bring home souvenirs.
I started learning more about reef safe sunscreen thanks to all the information on this topic in Hawaii. Fortunately, I rarely wear sunscreen (more on that later) and if I do, I choose a natural brand. Most natural brands do not contain these harmful ingredients, so I was relieved that I wasn’t contributing to the problem.
