Bonjour,
Je vais passer 2 semaines à Hawaii du 8 au 21 juillet prochain. J'ai pour projet de visiter Kauai, Big Island et dans une moindre mesure O'ahu (plutôt quelques jours de plage, farniente et shopping avant le retour). Je pense louer une voiture, sauf peut-être à O'ahu. Je projette aussi d'orienter mes activités côté terre plutôt que côté mer, puisque j'habite Tahiti et que j'ai déjà un joli lagon avec plein de poisons dedans !
J'ai un peu de mal à définir le nombre de jours à consacrer à chaque île... mais il faut pourtant que je me décide puisque j'aimerais réserver mes billets d'avion inter-îles à l'avance. Voici l'avancement de mon planning... si vous pouviez me donner votre avis ou des conseils pour l'améliorer, voire le modifier, ce serait génial !
Un grand merci pour votre aide
Raphaël

Merci Ramzi ! Tu penses donc que cet itinéraire est réalisable ?
C'est clair que ça va faire courir, mais ça devrait passer. Effectivement, on ne va pas s'ennuyer. J'hésite simplement à faire un jour de plus à Kauai en rognant un jour à O'ahu.
Sinon, pas de surf car j'ai ce qu'il faut toute l'année à Tahiti. Quant à Pearl Harbor, je n'ai pas spécialement envie d'y passer.
A++ et merci. Peut-être que d'autres commentaires suivront grâce à toi.

salut raph
si tu en as les moyens , je te conseille de faire le survol de kauai en helico sans portes , c'est magique !!!
à oahu , j'ai bien aimé l'ambiance de honoma beach . y arriver tot vers 9 h ou un peu avant , parking payant , plage payante , un film sur la faune maritime et journée plage et snorkelling . c'est rigolo de voir les jap avec leur bouée et les autres . tu n'as pas cette ambiance à tahiti ..
si tu veux d'autres infos ....
Merci pour ton avis Pam, j'ai déjà prévu le budget hélico !... à Kauai mais peut-être aussi à Big Island si le portefeuille le permet.
J'ai réservé mes vols intérieurs aux dates décrites dans mon itinéraire. Je pense savoir comment gérer mon calendrier sur Kauai et sur O'ahu. Par contre, je n'ai pas encore décidé exactement et définitivement de la manière d'organiser ma semaine sur Big Island. Donc si toi ou d'autres globe-trotters du forum avez des conseils (planning, activités, à quel endroit poser ses valises et combien de temps), je suis preneur. Je suis aussi preneur de tous vos recommandations d'hébergement sur les 3 îles de mon séjour (malheureusement, la plupart des b&b sont déjà complets pour mes dates donc je recherche de petits hotels sympas et pas chers).
Encore merci et à bientôt sur le forum
Raph
salut raphael
si tu dois choisir le vol en hélico , fais plutot le vol sur kauai , beaucoup plus impressionnant que sur big island , ou tu ne vois qu'un champ de lave noir et sous la pluie tres souvent à hilo .
sur big island , tu as oublié de voir la plage de sable noir ou il a plein de tortues , ça vaut vraiment le coup de nager avec elles .
dans la meme journée , au depart de hilo , j'avais vu celle de sable noir et celle de sable vert , c'est peut etre mieux que d'y aller de kona .
désolée , des hébergements pas chers à hawaii , je ne connais pas ...
je reviens d'Hawaii le mois dernier où j'ai passé un peu plus de 2 semaines sur les 3 iles que tu as prévu d'aller voir.
Voilà qq infos
Kauai:
Ma préférée a été Kauai et surtout la Na Pali Coast et la baie d'Hanalei.
Sur le Kalalau trail (10 juillet dans ton programme), j'ai préféré la section sur la cote à la rando vers Hanakapiai Falls. Pour info depuis le début de cette année, on peut aller jusqu'à Hanaloa valley sans permis (6 miles depuis le début). Pas mal de monde sur les 2 1er miles mais après ça va.
Wailua Falls, c'est l'histoire de 15min sur place. Tu peux facilement inclure ça sur ton retour de Waimea canyon.
Pour Waimea Canyon, Waimea canyon drive est plus belle que Kokee Rd (qui est pourtant celle indiquée pour monter au canyon). Super points de vue (qd il fait beau !!!).
Sur Big Island:
* Hilo:
tu peux facilement faire Rainbow falls + Akaka falls le même jour. Il y a une petite scenic road au nord de Hilo en direction d'Akaka falls qui mérite le détour.
* Volcano park:
la Crater rim drive est coupée sur une bonne partie. on peut aller au Jaggar Museum d'un coté et récupérer la chain of craters road de l'autre. Les treks comme le Byron Ledge trail sont fermés. Le Kilauea iki crater est lui ouvert.
Le Kilauea iki crater trail est une rando sympa sans difficulté sur 1/2 journée max qu'on peut faire depuis le visitor center ou depuis le kilauea iki overlook.
Pour une rando à la journée, il y a la rando du napau crater mais il faut vraiment aimer marcher dans les champs de lave !!! c'est en aller-retour donc tout ce qu'on parcourt au début et à refaire au retour (...). Très peu de monde sur ce trail en mai, c'est désertique. Il faut penser à s'inscrire sur le registre qui se trouve au début du trail.
La Chain of craters road est magnifique !!!
En fait, tu peux facilement grouper ton programme des 13 et 14 juillet sur une journée car les lava tubes sont accessibles soit par la route, soit depuis le kilauea iki trail.
Tu peux terminer ta journée par la chain of craters road et en remontant t'arreter au Jaggar Museum pour observer la caldera après le coucher du soleil.
* Mauna Kea
tout dépend de ce que tu veux/peux faire. L'observatoire du Mauna Kea n'est accessible qu'en 4x4, et les loueurs comme Budget n'autorisent pas la route d'accès (Il y a un loueur local qui autorise la route: Harpers. Pas testé, echos contrastés). Si tu n'as pas de voiture adaptée, soit tu passes par une excursion organisée pour aller à l'observatoire (c'est cher), soit tu grimpes au sommet à pied depuis le visitor center (très grosse rando car en altitude et dénivelée importante).
Perso on a opté pour le coucher de soleil depuis le visitor center et l'observation des étoiles: c'était top !
* Coté Kona
Kealakekuha bay c'est top pour le snorkelling (accessible en bateau, kayak ou rando seulement. Pas d'accès au spot de snorkelling depuis la route).
A faire absolument, c'est le snorkelling de nuit pour aller voir des raies manta. J'ai adoré !!! mais bon j'habite Paris et pas Tahiti.
Sur Oahu:
c'est vraiment sympa de faire le tour de l'île en passant par Diamond head, kailua bay et le north shore. ça prend une journée en prenant le temps de faire des stops aux endroits interessants
Kailua bay: très jolie baie, il y a des tours en kayak dans la baie, c'est vraiment sympa à faire
North shore: l'été les spots de surf se transforment en spots de snorkelling. en mai c'était le calme plat sur sunset et pipeline!
Waikiki c'est hyper touristique. une plage sympa c'est celle du Hilton village (toutes les plages sont accessibles même celles des plus grands hotels. La notion de plage privée n'existe pas à Hawaii).
A Honolulu, en dehors du Iolani palace et du musée, pas grand chose à visiter...j'ai été déçue par Chinatown. 1/2 journée suffit.
Pour manger bon et pas cher à Waikiki (ça existe!), le resto Murakame Udon est top.

Our daughter has gone to Sydney, and we’d love to spend the end-of-year holidays with her.
The plan is to leave from Paris or Brussels and break up the trip with a 3- or 4-day layover to "split" the journey in two.
Then head back to Sydney, explore the East Coast in a van, celebrate Christmas and New Year’s in Sydney, and finally return to France with another layover.
My questions:
Which city should we choose for the layover (we’ve already visited Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and would like to see a different city)? Both on the way there and back?
Which agency should we rent a van from?
What sites should we visit on the East Coast?
If you’ve done this kind of trip before and have any tips or advice, I’d love to hear them.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the scattered info out there and I'm struggling to organize my solo trip to French Polynesia. I'm all about snorkeling—no hiking for me—so it's all about the water, water, water... I'd love to meet whales (what's the best season?), stay with locals or in budget guesthouses (I'm pretty low-key, no worries about comfort), and most importantly, be as close to the coral reefs as possible (all day long...).
I'm retired, so I've got plenty of time...
If you can help, it would mean the world to me.
Thanks everyone! !
Hi,
I'm planning a trip to this region in November. My initial plan was Adelaide-Darwin by van, but I'm worried about those critters. I'm now considering staying in hotels instead, but for the Red Centre, camping is more practical... if we overlook those pests.
What do you think? Thanks.
Hi there,
I’m reaching out because I’m finally living my dream later this year, and I could really use your advice!
On December 26th, I’m flying to Tahiti, then Moorea, and finally Bora-Bora.
Since I’ll be staying in Bora-Bora for several days, I’d love to take a day trip to another island: either Maupiti or Tahaa-Raiatea (my top picks...).
My issue is that the schedules for getting to Tahaa and then to Raiatea don’t quite work for me. Here are the two options I’ve looked into:
**Option 1: Day trip to Tahaa-Raiatea**
- Morning departure at 7:00 AM to Tahaa from Vaitape (I’ll be staying on a motu, so I need to check if there’s a shuttle connecting the motu to Vaitape early enough).
- Arrival at 8:15 AM in Poutoru, Tahaa. Tour of the island, visit to a vanilla plantation.
- Hire a "private" boat to Raiatea around 12:00–1:00 PM.
- Tour of Raiatea.
- Departure at 4:00 PM from Uturoa (Raiatea) back to Bora-Bora.
**Option 2: Day trip to Maupiti**
- Morning departure from Bora-Bora at 8:30 AM.
- Arrival in Maupiti at 10:05 AM. Visit the island and the motus.
- Return in the evening at 4:00 PM.
My questions:
- Will I have enough time to explore Tahaa-Raiatea from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM?
- Car rental? Bike rental? For all three islands...
- Time lost during rentals?
- Distance between rental shops and the ports where I arrive?
- For Tahaa and Raiatea, should I hire a guide? Would that be better organized, meaning no car rental needed, to save time or explore the island on my own?
- Finally, what do you think of these three islands and their points of interest? Which would you choose between Maupiti and Tahaa-Raiatea?
If you can shed some light on this, I’d be so grateful!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and advice!
Hello! We’re heading to the Marquesas in July-August and I’d love to know if it’s possible, for a fee, to do a leg of the journey on the Aranui—like from Hiva Oa to Fatu Hiva, or Nuku Hiva to Ua Pou, or even Ua Pou to Ua Huka? Sure, there are shuttles twice a week with Codim connecting these islands, but the schedules won’t be known until two months in advance, and I need to book flights and hotels much earlier than that. So, what’s the best way to handle this?
Looking forward to your replies—thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I’d like to go to French Polynesia.
I found round-trip flights for 650 € with Air Caraïbes.
That seems really cheap—anyone here who can tell me about this airline if you’ve flown with them before?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone. I’ve got a round-trip ticket to Perth for 4 weeks. Is it better to stay on the west coast the whole time?
Or should I grab a round-trip to the east coast?
Or even head over to NZ as well?
Thanks for your tips.
We’re crossing New Zealand next April and we’re wondering which to choose between exploring Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound.
The first is more well-known, famous, and popular, a UNESCO natural heritage site, while the second can be just as spectacular—bigger, harder to access, and less touristy.
Thanks for your thoughts!
I’ve blocked out 3 weeks at the end of March/beginning of April, arriving in Sydney and departing from Adelaide while following the coast.
Kangaroo Island is a bit of a question mark for me. If I go, I can dedicate 2.5 days to it. Is it worth the time and the cost? I’ve read plenty of travel journals highlighting the landscapes and wildlife, but I’m sure I’ll see plenty of that along my route anyway. I’m not factoring in the financial side (which isn’t negligible for KI), but I’d rather not be disappointed. What are the real added values of KI, especially since the island has been affected by fires? I’ve also come across people online calling it a tourist trap. For example, I ruled out Phillip Island because it felt too organized and structured. Sorry if I’m opening Pandora’s box here!
Hi! I just spent a month in New Caledonia (backpacking/tent) and I know some of you were looking for info on accommodations and itineraries, so feel free to reach out if you want me to share my little experience. Just to say—New Caledonia is AMAZING!!!
Hi there,
I just got back from two weeks in Fiji, and I noticed the forum discussions here are a bit outdated (the most recent ones are from 2017).
So feel free to ask if you'd like an update!
Hi,
I’m heading to Viti Levu, the main island, for a few days’ vacation.
I usually rent a two-wheeler to keep some independence.
On several forums, people advised against it—first because it’s not really the local culture, and also because of the road conditions and local driving habits.
But I’m a bit wary of English-language forums where the typical vacation is just airport-resort-airport with a taxi in between.
Can you confirm if it’s really that risky compared to, say, Southeast Asia? What are the alternatives? Buses, taxis?
Thanks!
I’m planning and budgeting a trip to Australia for August 2026, lasting 40 days.
Here’s the current itinerary:
Arrival at Port Macquarie Airport in New South Wales and return from Cairns Airport in Queensland.
- South West Rock
- Cap Ridge Park
- Springbrook Park
- Stradbroke Island
- Maleny
- Noosa
- Rainbow Beach
- K’Gari
- Gladstone
- Heron Island
- Airlie Beach
- Townsville
- Magnetic Island
- Cairns
- Cape Tribulation
My main issue is transport to cover all of this.
The first leg is already tricky—I haven’t found a way to rent a car in Port Macquarie and drop it off in South West Rock.
And if we keep the vehicle until Cleveland (8 days) before taking the ferry to Stradbroke Island, it’s already around 1000 €.
- Are there any systems where we could buy a vehicle in Port Macquarie and be sure it’s bought back at the end of the trip in Cairns?
- Do you know of any Australian online car rental sites?
As for trains, they’re not really an option for our stay in New South Wales.
In Queensland, I found the Queensland Rail Travel website with a Brisbane–Cairns line, but trains don’t run every day.
- Do you know of any other train companies in Queensland that connect coastal cities from Brisbane to Cairns?
For flights, I checked Queensland with Qantas, and most routes require a stopover in Brisbane, which wastes a lot of time, and the prices are still high.
Do you know of any low-cost airlines for domestic flights in Australia?
2025 is shaping up to be amazing, as I’m lucky enough to be planning a 6-week trip to Polynesia.
I wanted to buy the *Guide du Routard* (my favorite), but I discovered there isn’t one for this destination. And the *Lonely Planet* is from 2022, which I feel is already a bit outdated.
So I’m looking for other resources: in your opinion, what’s the best paper guide, and most importantly, what online resources have you used to prepare a trip to Polynesia?
My wife, our 3-year-old son, and I are planning a trip along Australia’s East Coast, leaving in early October and returning in mid-November. The plan is to do a 4-week road trip in a campervan, then settle down for about ten days.
The question I’m asking myself is: which way should we go? From Sydney to Cairns or the other way around? Despite all the documentation I’ve read, I’m still struggling to decide the best direction based on the climate at that time and swimming conditions.
Up north, the weather will be warmer, and the water too, unlike the south. However, in the north, there are swimming restrictions, especially because of jellyfish, whereas in the south, there seems to be less danger (apart from sharks, maybe). Are there many protected beaches in the north where we can swim safely?
Also, I should consider that in the south, the Great Barrier Reef no longer protects the beaches, so I imagine there are fewer calm spots for swimming?
I’d love any tips or advice you can share, and thanks in advance!
Hi there,
for a 6-month trip to Australia and NZ starting in NOVEMBER, I’d like to visit PNG and the Solomon Islands. Has anyone already explored these two countries?
How can you travel solo there—transport, accommodation, banking, safety—and what’s the best way to get there from AUS?
Thanks for any tips! Are there any French-language sites about these destinations?
Cheers,
jps
Hi there,
I’m leaving on March 4th for Australia from Réunion Island, landing in Perth, then a road trip down to Melbourne before flying out to Vietnam on April 15th.
I’d like to visit Perth and the surrounding area, then head southwest to Margaret River, Albany, Esperance, and back to Perth to catch a flight to Adelaide. From there, I’ll make my way to Melbourne.
1/ What do you think of this itinerary?
2/ For flights, are there any domestic airlines worth prioritizing for good prices?
3/ I’m planning to rent a car after exploring Perth and the area—I’m traveling solo. Any rental companies you’d recommend, as well as nice hotels, B&Bs, or hostels?
4/ Any tips, good deals, or info are welcome—don’t hesitate to share!
Thanks in advance.
I’m planning a solo trip from April 16th to June 2nd!
I have to work for 3 weeks in Papeete when I arrive in French Polynesia, so I can only explore on the weekends (3-day weekends). For my first weekend, I’ll visit Tahiti; my second weekend will be dedicated to Moorea, and the last weekend to Huahine.
After my work period, I’ll continue with my vacation and keep exploring:
Maupiti - 4 nights
Raiatea - 3 nights (including a day trip to Tahaa)
Bora Bora - 3 nights
Rangiroa - 4 nights (could do 3)
Tikehau - 2 nights (could do 3)
Fakarava - 3 nights
For activities, I’m mostly interested in discovering the islands, hiking, and observing wildlife.
I’m not a diver, but I plan to do a beginner’s dive once I’m there. I love snorkeling, though, and I’m wondering if I’m spending too much time in the Tuamotus, which are famous for diving from what I’ve seen.
For travel between the islands, I’ve already looked into the Bora Tuamotu Max pass, which seems like the best option, but I’d love advice on replacing it with one or more ferries.
What do you think? I’m struggling to finalize my itinerary.
We’ll be in Adelaide from February 24th to March 4th and we’d like to spend 3 days and 2 nights on Kangaroo Island.
Any recommendations?
We always travel with simple accommodations
Hi everyone, we're heading to Australia next month. We have 7 days to go from Adelaide to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road. Should we visit Kangaroo Island or not? We can't decide! Thanks for your advice.
We really want to see kangaroos and koalas in their natural habitat.
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to NZ at the end of January.
It’s peak season—do you think it’s necessary to book activities in advance (like a cruise to Milford Sound), or is it not essential?
Thanks
We’ll be in New Zealand starting March 15th. We’re considering renting a car from Christchurch to Auckland. We’ve read that a lot of ferries have been canceled—is that true? Would it be better to rent one car in the South Island and another in the North Island? Thanks, and happy New Year!
Hi,
When I hear our French friends talk about them, they’re the most beautiful islands in the world.
For those of you who’ve traveled extensively, is that really the case?
Are the prices for accommodation, even basic ones, justified? Isn’t a room in a family-run guesthouse at 150/200 € a bit much?
Are there other islands in Polynesia (non-French) that are just as "paradise-like" but more affordable?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
