1. The Classic Summer Vacation Experience
“We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.”
-Hilaire Belloc
Hawaii — Pacific United States
Each of the Hawaiian Islands has its own unique charm. With a rich history, beautiful landscapes, and tropical wildlife, there is something for everyone to enjoy—no matter how many of the islands you decide to visit.
How’s That Tropical Weather?
Packing for the elements is a cinch, thanks to the consistent weather patterns in Hawaii.
- Summer lasts from May to October with temperatures averaging around 85° F during the day and about 10 degrees lower at night.
- Rainfall tends to be very localized, so if it starts to rain, just head to another part of the island for more fun in the sun!
What Is There Eat?
Hawaii is a melting pot, and the variety of cultures brings with it a great variety of foods. If you’re looking to breakfast like a local:
- Try the traditional Loco Moco—white rice under a hamburger steak, topped with a fried egg and brown gravy.
- Grab a plate lunch from a street food vendor.
- Other local favorites include Shaved Ice and Haupia, a coconut milk custard.
Amazing Places To Explore
One of the most beautiful things about Hawaii is the diversity of the landscape between islands. You’ll find nearly every type of environment imaginable, including:
- Volcanoes
- Mountains
- Rainforests
- Deserts
- Beaches
You’re always near the ocean, so you’ll be sure to catch some beautiful views of Hawaii’s famous waves.
Finding Activities For Fun
If you love to ride the waves, you won’t find better surf anywhere.
Snorkelers and scuba divers will come face-to-face with beautiful tropical fish and other sea life.
Explore the rich history of the Hawaiian islands on a tour through the gardens or farmlands.
For museum lovers, check out the artifacts at Oahu’s Bishop Museum and see the inside of a submarine at the Pearl Harbor museum.
