Getting there – Hawaii Air Travel
Located about 2000 miles from the West Coast, Hawaii has become easier and easier to reach. May carriers now offer daily direct flights from the West Coast to Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai.
Though most major airlines fly in, local carriers such as Hawaiian Air and Aloha Airlines directly support the Hawaiian economy.
Island hopping is common, Hawaiian Air and Aloha Airines offer this service, along with other local carriers.
Book Hawaii Air Travel early. This is especially true during holiday seasons. Tourists are competing for seats with Hawaii Students and families returning home.
Confirm Hawaii Air Travel 1-2 months in advance for Winter travel, 3 months or more for Holiday Travel, and 4-6 weeks ahead for summer travel.
Temperatures at Hawaii Timeshares and Resorts
Most Hawaii timeshares and resorts are located at sea level, where summertime temperatures rarely get hot. Late summer ocean breezes and moderate humidity generally keep average temperatures around the mid-to-high 80's.
Low temperatures are usually in the 70’s, with winter months an average 5 to 10 degrees cooler.
Rainfall at Hawaii Timeshare and Resorts
Hawaii's rainfall varies widely with the highest amount of on the windward (east) sides of the islands, caused by moisture filled trade winds. Leeward (western) locations are drier with the mountains shielding them from the damp weather.
Mild rain and wind are more frequent in winter months, November through April, usually clearing within 24 hours. Although severe storms are uncommon (once a decade or less), the state's annual "hurricane season" is June through September.
Most Hawaii timeshares are located on the drier, leeward side of the islands. This is typical in Oahu timeshares and Maui timeshare resorts. Kauai timeshares are located on both the leeward and windward side of the island. Most windward Kauai timeshares are adjacent to the Kauai Princeville Resort with its famous golf courses and stunning scenery.
Fun and Safety at Hawaii Beaches
Hawaii's Pacific waters stay in the high 70s consistently year round. This keeps air temperatures moderate throughout the year.
Surf conditions vary widely from island to island, and time of year. If you are new to the islands, try to go to beaches with lifeguards, and observe the signs. Hawaii does not post beach signs lightly – if they say dangerous conditions – don’t go in!
One beach to avoid swimming in is Sandy Beach on Oahu. Just down the road from Hanauma Bay Nature Park, Sandy Beach is infamous for its shallow break waves. It is not safe for casual or even experienced swimmers. Ala Moana Beach and Kailua Beach are safer for families. Drive by and enjoy North Shore Beaches, but don’t go in the water. Surf can reach 30 feet in the winter.
