General Hawaii

Go Visit Hawaii celebrates its seventh birthday!

This month we celebrate our seventh birthday. Seven internet years is a long time — probably equivalent to dog years!

In seven years, Go Visit Hawaii has published 1,978 articles, snapped 8,310 photos and created 112 videos. Whew! We’ve been busy.

Our site has been visited by 3,196,824 unique visitors. That’s a lot of people and families represented who were helped by our unbiased Hawaii travel advice.

What statistic means the most to us? Well, it’s not really a statistic at all. It’s all the comments and notes we receive thanking us for our advice which helped make for an excellent Hawaii vacation. That’s what keeps us going.

It’s hard to believe we’re entering our eighth year of blogging about Hawaii travel, but here we go! We’d love to hear from you with your suggestions of what you like about Go Visit Hawaii and what you’d like to see more. Please share your thoughts in the comments.

I enjoy reading all your articles they are a great help. I am still unfortunately getting overwhelmed with figuring out where to start with planning my trip to Hawaii. Could you give any tips for starting from the beginning. I read your long haul article(loved it) any advice would be so much appreciated. Thank you
