My wife and I are heading to Hawaii in the off season with our 2 year old son. Anyone on here been before/recently? Got any good recommendations on things to see or do? or any travel tips for Hawaii at all?

I've been to the US mainland a couple of times so I'm aware of state taxes and tipping etc.

Oddly enough, no. For some reason I always end up in the more random spots in the Pacific via Fiji or Guam.

Yes - a number of times. Avoid Waikiki at all costs - its full of fat, loud American tourists (from elsewhere in the US) and Japanese tourists taking pictures of themselves and everything is horribly expensive. Go to the Big Island for a helicopter tour of the Mauna Kea volcano and stay on either Maui, where the 5 star resorts are located, or Kauai, (pronounced like Hawaii but with a K at the front) , which is jaw-droppingly beautiful and everything that you imagine Hawaii to be.

As a by-the-by, Waikiki beach is the most disappointing beach that you will ever visit and Honolulu airport looks like it was designed in Eastern Europe. Otherwise, enjoy!
