Weather and When to Go
Winter with its monstrous swells and periodic heavy storms runs from the end of November to March, during which temperatures range from 16-25°C. Nevertheless, December to April along with May to August, when the mercury climbs into the 30s, are peak travel times as US families capitalise on school holiday periods. Held annually in March, the Honolulu Festival is an arts and entertainment-focused event designed to celebrate the many cultures of the Pacific region. Held across six islands, the Aloha Festivals in late summer and early autumn feature concerts, floral parades and street parties known as ho’olaule’a. September sees the arrival of both the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival and the Taste of the Arts Festival.
