Tipps für Reisende

Bike paths
One of the most unique and wonderful parts of HHI is the bike paths. You can ride your bike nearly everywhere on the island. There are many places to rent bikes. Most of the paths are shaded to make for a more enjoyable ride in the very hot summer months. Pedals is a great option. They will deliver to your door and pick up bikes when you’re done.
Buche vor der Abreise
Make dinner reservations 1 - 2 months before you arrive
Especially during the summer months (approx. Apr - Oct), you'll need reservations for dinner. Most restaurants are on Open Table or Resy. Sometimes you have to call. If you don't make a reservation, the wait can be hours long.
