What to Do in Hawaii

Just a flight or two from your home state, Hawaii feels like a world away. With some of the most stunning and diverse beaches, waterside activities abound— from surfing to kayaking to some of the state's most impressive snorkeling and diving. Whether you’re here with the family or on a romantic getaway with your partner, there’s always something to do and see on these tropical islands, no matter the season. And with your comfortable Hawaii home rental, you’ll have no problem exploring it all. Check out some of our favorite activities when traveling to Hawaii. Take a rainforest hike - While most folks head straight to the beach, Hawaii boasts some truly incredible hiking trails through lush rainforests and dormant volcanoes. The Diamond Head Crater Hike in Honolulu, for example, takes you through the site of an ancient volcano and includes amazing ocean views. The state also boasts adventurous trails to cascading waterfalls, like the astounding ‘Akaka Falls. Go ziplining - Get deep into Hawaii’s green canyons and forests from above! Ziplining through the trees offers unprecedented views and unique perspectives— and excursions often include lunch and a dip under secluded waterfalls. Discover the cuisine - More than pineapples and poké, Hawaiian cuisine incorporates styles of food from a smattering of rich cultural traditions, with influences from Polynesia and Asia. Every area offers a unique setting of restaurants and beach shacks you can explore through your senses.

Best Time to visit Hawaii

Hawaii’s perennial warm weather makes it perfect for any and every season. In fact, there are really only two seasons here: summer from May to October and winter from November to April. Visitors flock to the island in the summer months and in December to escape the cold during the holidays. However, September and March are ideal months if you’re looking to avoid any possibility of rain. Each area tends to have its own sort of microclimate, influenced by the shielding effect of mountains and elevations. You can find tropical rainforests and arid deserts within miles of each other! While this may sound extreme, the reality is that the weather throughout all of Hawaii is delightfully consistent.

The Weather in Hawaii

The average daytime summer temperature is around 85º (29ºC), and the average daytime winter temperature is 78ºF (26ºC). In other words, with only two seasons, there’s not much change from summer to winter. The wettest months are between November and March, but it’s not likely to interrupt your plans. Pack a raincoat just in case you get caught in some afternoon showers, and some very light layers for late-night walks on the beach if you’re prone to getting a little chilly.
