There are generally two seasons on the island of Oahu in Hawaii - winter from November through April when temperatures range from the low 70s to mid 80s, and summer when temperatures can reach the low 90s. Oahu experiences a dry season from April to October and a relatively dry rainy season from November to March. The island offers a variety of landscapes and attractions, from the urban city of Honolulu to lush tropical valleys, golden beaches, and world-famous surf spots. Major destinations and attractions highlighted include Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay, Kualoa Ranch, Dole Plantation, and the North Shore surf towns of Haleiwa.
2. Hawaii has a dry season (April to October) and a
rainy season (November to March.) In recent years,
however, even the rainy season has been relatively
dry as many parts of Hawaii have been suffering
drought conditions. The summer months can be hot
and humid, especially in Honolulu and Waikiki.
Hurricanes are rare but the hurricane season is from
June to November. Fortunately, the last major
hurricane to hit Hawaii was Hurricane Iniki, which
severely damaged Kauai in September 1992.
4. Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly
lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is
home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion
of east and west cultures rooted in the values and traditions
of the Native Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast
between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering
Oahu so enjoyable.
The clear blue waters of Kailua Beach meet the metropolitan
cityscapes of Honolulu. The historic architecture of Iolani
Palace meets the timeless memorials of Pearl Harbor. The
big city of Waikiki meets the small town of Haleiwa on the
North Shore. Whether you’re hiking atop iconic Leahi
(Diamond Head), enjoying some of Hawaii’s best shopping,
or simply unwinding on the sands of the island’s beautiful
beaches, you’ll find variety at every turn on Oahu.
5. Oahu is generally drier on the Leeward Coast (west) and wetter
and greener on the Windward Coast (east). The resort area of
Waikiki and the surfing mecca of the North Shore offer pleasant
weather year round. Big wave surf season on the North Shore
begins in November and ends in February. World-class surfing
competitions also happen here between November and
December. During the summer, the big waves of the North Shore
subside for ideal beach going conditions.
There are generally two seasons on Oahu. Winter (November
through April), when temperatures typically range in the low-70s
to mid-80s, and summer when the high can run into the low-90s.
Average air temperature ranges from 74 degrees F (23 degrees
C) to 88 degrees F (31 degrees C) with moderate humidity of
53% during the day. Gentle trade winds keep even the warmest
months comfortable, so any time of year is a good time to visit
Oahu.
6. Home to the State Capitol, Honolulu is the vibrant epicenter of
Hawaii. Here you’ll find everything from historic landmarks and
treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts
and culture scene. Home to the majority of Oahu’s population, the
sprawling city of Honolulu spreads throughout the southeastern
shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing
world famous Waikiki.
Honolulu has it all. This is the home of some of Hawaii’s most historic
places from Iolani Palace, the Kawaiahao Church, the Mission
Houses and the treasured artifacts of the Bishop Museum to iconic
landmarks like the Aloha Tower, the King Kamehameha I Statue, the
Duke Kahanamoku Statue and the historic Hawaii Theatre. Honolulu
is also Hawaii’s hot spot for arts, culture and entertainment. From the
nightlife, live music and fine dining of Waikiki to the art galleries and
underground bars of the Chinatown arts district. Whether you’re
looking for Hawaii’s finest museums, or Hawaii’s finest Hawaii
Regional Cuisine chefs, the best resorts, festivals, and events, or just
some fun things to do, you’ll find it all in Honolulu.

36. Kauai is Hawaii’s fourth largest island and is sometimes
called the “Garden Isle,” which is an entirely accurate
description. The oldest and northernmost island in the
Hawaiian chain is draped in emerald valleys, sharp
mountain spires and jagged cliffs, aged by time and the
elements. Centuries of growth have formed tropical
rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls. Some
parts of Kauai are only accessible by sea or air, revealing
views beyond your imagination.
Occupying 552 square miles, Kauai is circular in shape with
lush, mountainous regions in its center and beaches
covering almost half its shoreline. Kauai’s age makes it one
of the most scenic islands in Hawaii from the 3,000-foot
elevations of Waimea Canyon to the waterfalls and deep
gorges of 5,148-foot Mount Waialeale in the uninhabited
center of Kauai, which you can only view by air.
38. Lihue is the government and commercial center of the island as
well as a cultural and historical area. This may be the most
traveled town on Kauai since its home to Kauai’s main airport
(the Lihue Airport) and Nawiliwili Harbor, the island's major
commercial shipping center and cruise ship port.
Lihue has a variety of beaches and natural wonders to explore.
Kalapaki Beach is the home of the Marriott Kauai's Beach Club
and the Kauai Lagoons Golf Club. Bodysurfing, windsurfing and
swimming make Kalapaki a popular destination. Ninini Beach is
home to an automated lighthouse, operating since 1897. And
just north of Lihue, don’t forget to stop at the Wailua Falls
lookout for an amazing waterfall view.
The Lihue area also has numerous historical spots including
Alekoko (Menehune Fishpond), a roughly 1000-year old
aquaculture reservoir; Kilohana, a historic plantation estate; and
both the historic Kauai Museum and Grove Farm Homestead
Museum. Lihue is your gateway to adventure on Kauai.
39. Kauai's East Side is sometimes referred to as the Coconut Coast for the
groves of coconut palms that grow in its resort areas. The most
populated district on the island, about 16,000 of the island's 62,000
residents reside in the Wailua/Kapaa area. Amongst the clusters of
coconut trees you’ll find historic places, amazing beaches and
memorable attractions.
In Wailua, you’ll find a variety of sightseeing opportunities and outdoor
activities. Kayak the Wailua River in Wailua River State Park, take a
boat ride to the Fern Grotto, or take photos at Opaekaa Falls. Don’t
forget to try and spot the Sleeping Giant in the Nounou Mountains or
take a hike up this scenic ridge. Sacred places like Polihau Heiau, the
large lava-rock temple of Kauai’s last king, Kaumualii, can also be found
on the East Side. And be sure to visit Kapaa Town to discover fine
Hawaiian craft pieces, aloha-print shirts, jewelry and art.
But the golden beaches of the Coconut Coast may be the area’s biggest
draw. Unwind at Anahola Beach Park, whale watch at Donkey Beach or
watch the surfers at Kealia Beach to the north. Lydgate Beach Park in
Wailua has two lava rock enclosed ocean pools that are perfect places
for families and first-time snorkelers. Fun in the sun awaits you on the
Coconut Coast.
41. The sunny South Shore of Kauai is home to historic Old Koloa
Town and the resort area of Poipu. This is an area of activity and
historic attractions. Whether you’re playing on a championship
golf course or exploring the Koloa Heritage Trail to learn more
about Kauai’s history, there’s something for everyone on the
South Shore.
A good place to start is spending the day at Poipu Beach Park,
which was once named one of America’s best beaches. Nearby
Spouting Horn features a blowhole that releases a spout of water
up to 20 feet or more into the air. See why Kauai is nicknamed
“The Garden Isle” at two National Tropical Botanical Gardens:
McBryde Garden, featuring 259-acres of gardens and world’s
largest collection of Hawaiian plants, and Allerton Garden, an 80-
acre gem with sophisticated garden design and the giant Moreton
Figs made famous in the film “Jurassic Park.” You’ll even find the
Kauai Coffee farm tour just a few miles west of Poipu. Discover a
variety of activities and attractions on Kauai’s South Shore.
44. Kauai's dramatic North Shore is an enchanting setting full of rugged mountains,
lush taro fields, heavenly beaches and spectacular sea cliffs. You’ll be amazed at
how much beauty can be found in just one area of Kauai.
Begin your journey on the island’s northernmost point. Historic Kilauea Lighthouse
is a wildlife sanctuary and a scenic spot for whale watching. Visit lovely Hanalei
Town, home to stretches of green taro fields alongside colorful shops, galleries
and restaurants. You’ll also find some of Kauai’s best beaches here including
Lumahai Beach, the setting for the film “South Pacific,” and Kee Beach,
ideal for sunbathing. You can also learn about native plants and see scenic
ocean views at Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens or at the 17-acre Limahuli
Gardens, part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden.
But the most stunning feature of Kauai's North Shore is the magnificent Napali
Coast. This 17-mile stretch of coastline is lined with cliffs up to 3,000-foot tall,
accented with lush green valleys, cascading waterfalls and sea caves.
Inaccessible by car, you can hike or take an air or boat tour to view this
breathtaking natural wonder.
The North Shore is also home to the upscale resort area of Princeville where you
can indulge in world-class hospitality and play at some of Kauai’s premier golf
courses. You can also find other accommodations here ranging from historic bed
and breakfasts to rental homes allowing everyone the opportunity to experience
the beauty of Kauai’s North Shore.
49. Go west and get off the beaten path on Kauai. The West
Side is home to a few of Kauai’s most historic places and
scenic wonders, the most famous of which is the
breathtaking Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the
Pacific.”
But there is even more to explore. Head north beyond the
gorges and cliffs of Waimea Canyon and visit Kokee State
Park where you’ll find yet another amazing view from the
Kalalau Lookout. The two small towns of Waimea and
Hanapepe also grace the West Side. In 1778, Captain Cook
first landed in the Hawaiian Islands here at Waimea Bay.
Today, a statue of Cook stands in Waimea Town
commemorating this event. Hanapepe is the art capital of
Kauai with galleries, shops and eateries lining small town
Hanapepe Road.
