Travel to Hawaii with ESTA visa
As the only state of the USA made up entirely of islands, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea of the island paradise awaiting you on the other side of the world but remember you’ll need to ensure you’ve got your US travel documents in order before jetting off and that includes organizing your travel insurance, passport, ESTA application, flights and accommodation as well as activities or excursions.
If it’s your first time in the State of Aloha and you’re not sure where to start, this guide should help you make the important decisions regarding holidays in Hawai’i and what not to miss!
And we’re sure you won’t want to make it your last! Luckily the US ESTA visa is valid for 2 years once it’s granted! That means that after receiving your approved ESTA via email, you’ll be able to travel to the USA for the next two years, as long as your passport remains valid for that period!
