Our family of six have decided (we took a poll) that the two things we want to see most in Hawaii are the live volcanoes on the Big Island and to take a visit to Pearl Harbor on Oahu. How many days should we allocate to visiting each island.
Answer:
Sounds like one option you havent considered would be to visit the Big Island and its volcanoes there and then take a one-day tour over to see Pearl Harbor, the Battleship Missouri, the submarine Bowfin and other historic spots on Oahu. This way you could establish a permanent location on the Big Island and not have to uproot everyone for an island switch. You could easily see all that Pearl Harbor has to offer in the one day you go there and you could then have multiple days to investigate the amazing volcanoes.
