01. --- Hawaii Maps on the Internet ---

Maps of Hawaii are hard to find on the Internet for many reasons - one of them being many areas are so rural that the streets don't have names and the residences and businesses don't have posted addresses. If you can't find a location post in my question forum or e-mail me and I'll try to find it for you.

Do you need a map before you get here? Maybe, if you really are an extensive trip planner, and want to know all your directions ahead of time - but if you are staying on Oahu or at a highly-recognizable hotel, probably not. Many of the free publications have maps in them and your lodging provider or hotel concierge can probably give you directions to most places you want to see.

And now, a listing of the best Hawaii maps I've found on the Internet for your future use


-- Major map sites you can look up addresses in, get driving directions or perhaps get an aerial view:

  • Mapquest - See maps by address, intersection, area, or zip code. Driving directions and aerial photos also available.
  • Maps on Us - Plan your trip via fastest route or shortest route, and search area businesses by category and keyword.
  • Maps.com - Digital maps, sales of folded maps, and map resources - just type Hawaii in their search bar.
  • MapBlast - must register to use services.

Dine Hawaii - Searchable database of restaurants in Hawaii



1/11/02 Aloha everyone, if you are planning a trip to Hana during the first 6 months of this year, make sure you know the construction routes and closures - the road is currently being worked on by the county transportation department for repair and maintenance issues.

Look around for airline deals happening now - My husband just got delta tickets to New Jersey and back for under $400 from orbitz

A cursory check of their flights in the next two months shows prices under $600 from New York to Hawaii - that's a really good deal. The later the month you search in though, the prices do go up.

Expedia is also offering good airfare deals right now - I found a flight from Chicago for $331
