San Diego to Hawaii Travel Guide

A flight from San Diego, California lands you in the lush paradise of the Hawaiian islands. If you're a first-time visitor, choose one island to narrow down choices and save cash. Oahu offers the quintessential Aloha experience with beach-side mai-tais and vibrant night life, while Maui is a water sports haven with surfing, kite-boarding and scuba diving. The Big Island fascinates nature lovers with diverse wildlife and an active volcano, while relatively undeveloped Lanai makes the perfect hide-away. Molokai delivers the most culturally authentic Hawaiian experience and access to ancient indigenous sites. Kauai provides a little bit of everything: beaches, swimming, lush jungles and a trek through a jaw-dropping canyon keep visitors occupied.

San Diegans have gorgeous beaches and temperate weather in their own backyard. However, a trip to Hawaii is more than an escape to warm climes. Located in the Pacific ocean roughly 2,500 miles from the Californian coast, the islands of Aloha are a tropical marvel of green-studded mountains, hidden waterfalls, coral reefs and active volcanoes. San Diego surfers who have mastered the coves around Sunset Cliffs can find challenging beaches that are far less crowded, such as Pine Trees, a secluded spot enjoyed by locals on the west shore of Big Island.

Get yourself on island time using our smart search engine, which helps you find low prices on flights from San Diego to Hawaii. Or check out our Travel Offers to see today's hottest deals.
