Our love affair with these islands goes from strength to strength and more and more of us are booking cheap flights to Hawaii each year. There's a stunning amount of diversity: beaches for lazing on, sparkling waters to swim in or go on whale-watching excursions, volcanoes to hike around and explore, interesting cities and delicious local produce to tuck into.
We have a couple of things in our favour when it comes to booking flights to Hawaii. The Australian dollar is strong and several airlines (Qantas, Hawaiian Airlines, Jetstar and Virgin Australia to name just a few) are flying to the islands.
What are our favourite islands? Oahu (with Waikiki Beach and Honolulu), Maui (great for whale watching), the Big Island (has one of the world's most active volcanoes and has all but two of the world's climate zones) and Kauai are our sweet holiday spots.
