A new visitor or returning, the six unique islands offer distinct experiences! Home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, birthplace of surfing and the hula. Former seat of a royal kingdom. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. The Aloha Spirit complements the Islands’ perfect temperatures and pristine beaches.
Pre-Arrival: Climate: Beautifully balmy with plenty of sun and cooling trade winds combine for year round comfy conditions. Short, intermittent showers are "blessings." Then look around for your rainbow. Average temps: Apr- Nov 75°-88° F. Dec- Mar 68°-80° F. Average water temperature: 74° F.
How to Dress: Shorts in the daytime, sandals or walking shoes, short sleeve shirts, hat, sunglasses and swimsuit! In the evening casual pants and shirts for men and women, dresses for women, sport coat (if plans are a fine dining restaurant), a light jacket or sweater.
