If you are considering traveling between the Hawaiian Islands then you are probably curious about your options regarding inter-island travel<\/strong>. This article gives a brief overview of your choices for travel between the different Hawaiian Islands.<\/p>\n

The most popular method of transportation between Hawaiian Islands is by air, and in many cases air travel is your only option for inter-island travel. The only other possibility is taking a ferry, and that choice is available only from Maui to Lanai, or from Maui to Molokai.<\/p>\n

Most inter-island airplane flights go through Honolulu Airport. For example, if you are flying from Kauai to the Big Island you will almost certainly make a quick stop in Honolulu along the way.<\/p>\n

If you want to stay overnight in Honolulu or spend a few days there, check out the reasonable prices you can find for wonderful places at Hawaiian Beach Rentals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To get the best prices for inter-island flights go directly to the website for each airline. Calling on the phone or buying the ticket at the airline counter will cost you a significant extra fee (between $10 and $25).<\/p>\n

If you are using an airline searching website like Expedia or Kayak, then make sure you check if your flight has any stopovers or connections.<\/p>\n

There are two inter-island ferries. One runs from Maui to Lanai, and the other runs from Maui to Molokai.<\/p>\n

The ocean can sometimes be a bit bouncy in the Pailolo Channel between Molokai and Maui and in the Auau Channel between Maui and Lanai. You may want to bring along some sea sickness remedies if you are sensitive to motion sickness or there is a swell running.<\/p>\n

Here are links to local airlines and ferries, with a brief description of each:<\/p>\n
