Seasons in Hawaii
Summer – Hawaii’s summer season runs from July to August and sees plenty of tourists thronging its many beaches. Temperatures are typically in the low to mid-80s, and evening temperatures are pleasant and in the high 70s. It’s the best time to visit Hawaii with ideal snorkeling and diving conditions and calm and clear waters.
Fall – The months of September to November see slightly cooler air temperatures but experience some of the warmest water temperatures. Days are dry and clear, making it a great time to visit Hawaii. It is officially known as hurricane season, but big storms are rare and with some careful planning you should be able to avoid most of these.
Winter – The winter season that extends from December to March brings the heaviest rainfall although rain spells are usually brief and typically in the night. It is also the busiest time of the year in the islands. If you are thinking of visiting the islands during this time, we advise you to plan a few months in advance. We can also help you pick hotels and resorts that lie on the leeward side of the islands so you can avoid the heaviest of the rain and have some sunny days during your trip.
Spring – By April, rainfall levels abate, leaving behind lush green surroundings and full waterfalls. Dry weather conditions and quieter surroundings make April, May, and June a lovely period to visit Hawaii.
What to Pack
Hawaii is a destination with activities for every kind of traveler, so what you pack for Hawaii depends on what you are planning to do.
Those seeking some seaside fun will need to pack swimsuits/swim shorts, sarongs or coverups, sunglasses, sunhats, and plenty of sunscreen lotion. We recommend waterproof floaters – they work well on and off the beach and aboard boats as you go island hopping and head out for water adventures.
Hawaii has plenty to offer by way of land activities too. If you plan to trek to the island’s many waterfalls, we recommend waterproof trekking shoes and clothing. Those planning to go mountain trekking or visit the island’s active volcanoes will need to pack some warmer clothes. Temperatures are considerably cooler up in the mountains, so we recommend that you bring along a light jacket and full pants.
Day time temperatures fall in the mid-70s to 80s throughout the year, so it’s best to pack clothing made from breathable fabrics such as linen and cotton. Dresses, cotton t-shirts, and shorts work well with Hawaii’s relaxed, island vibe.
If you are visiting during the rainy season, we recommend packing some rainwear or umbrellas. During these seasons, the nighttime temperature can drop into the 60s, so it’s best to bring along a cardigan or light jacket.
