Hawaii time of year
What is the best time of year to go to Hawaii? We are not able to snorkle
and scuba because of health conditions, but we would really like to stay around the beach and see the interior. We would like to go when the temperature is fairly mild. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions. Thanks, Richard |

Hawaii time of year
In the early sixties I spent two years on Oahu and found the only time
that could be considered bad was in January. It rained a lot at Schofield Barracks in January. I'm not sure if it rained on the beach or at lower levels during that time, but we got soaked. The rest of the year Hawaii had the most pleasant climate I have seen. I now reside in New England and the common quote here is, "I really need the change of seasons." Well, I saw Santa Claus come in on a surf board, two years in a row. I truly believe the lack of the seasons has something to say too. My wife and I were going to cruise to Hawaii earlier this year, but the cruise was cancelled. When I considered a time to go, I simply looked for a time when the youngsters were still in school. I love the kids, but I have been there and done that and I can be selfish for eleven days if I want to. I believe Hawaii, any of the islands, are the kinds of places where you can get off the boat, rent a car and just travel around for as long as you have.

Thanks for the information. I suspect we are going to skip the cruise and
book some kind of package for several of the islands. Not this year, but soon. Richard "Dave" wrote in message ...

Hawaii time of year
The first time we went to Hawaii ( April, 1989) it was all land; 5 islands in
14 days. The weather was very pleasant; not too hot, not too cool. In May of this year we cruised from Ensenada to Honolulu and found the weather to be a little bit warmer. As Floridians we're used to hot weather, but didn't find this in Hawaii at that time of year. Arlene wrote: What is the best time of year to go to Hawaii?

Thanks, Richard Hawaii (and I think all tropical islands and much tropical mainland, at least near the ocean) is tropical and the temperature does not vary from month to month. The daily high and low in August is pretty much the same as December -- maybe 5 degrees warmer, something like that. What does vary is rainfall. The rainy season in Hawaii is winter (November-February or March). The best time to go is just after the rainy season ends, so you get clear sunny days but the scenery is lush and green from all the rain. So I would say April-June would be best. Hawaii also has a lot of microclimates, including the rainiest place on earth. Mason Barge "If this is coffee, please bring me some tea.

Hawaii time of year
We own property on Maui & are in Maui every February for a few weeks.
With the humpback whales there with us for great entertainment either on a $19 cruise to watch them or from our balcony on 9-12 (it changes yearly) it is one of the most eductional & enjoyable times to be in Hawaii (DEC-APRIL). Temps are high 70's to low 80's, up on Haleakala it is 32-28 a few times we've had snow. On the Big Island of Hawaii they ski year round on Mauna Kea, then go surfing. So there is plenty to do in Hawaii, Oahu I find too commercial to enjoy. Mason Barge wrote in message . .. On Sat, 13 Sep 2003 02:23:20 GMT, wrote: What is the best time of year to go to Hawaii?

Hawaii time of year
The locals ride F150 pick ups doing 70 on the W Maui Mtn RT 30 (single
lane road) and do not fear going over the 1000 foot drop since the tourist shifts into reverse very fast. Horseback riding is basically up in the mountains & the locals do ride in Lahaina, Wailea & especially Hana plenty, since there are hundred of ranches including Kris Kristofferson & the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut man "Gomer Pyle" aka Jim Nabors as well as George Harrison (his is the Japanese Pagoda in black iron). Harleys are also very big in Hana as well as the cute "rent a dog" with a picnic basket. The dog knows Hana & tells you with his excitement where to stop to play. The greatest winery is at the end with rasberry wine, pineapple wine, passionfruit wine & a great blush champagne at $40/bottle. Mason Barge wrote in message . ..
