Can anyone tell me good things about Hawaii’s weather, hotels, and its waters? Please be descriptive.
Which island are you going to?
It’s pretty consistent on any given day.
During the summer time (May to October) it’s around 85 F. (At sea level)
In the winter (November to April) it’s about 78 F.
At night the temperatures are about 10 degrees lower. (F)
Royal Kona Resort (Big Island) and Royal Lahaina Resort (Maui).
My girlfriend and I are flying over to Hilo from Oahu for 2 and a half days, to go see and check out the lava tubes. Aside from the volcano site seeing, what are other things we can do in Hilo? Are there any good places to eat or just chill?
You two can check out the Mokupapapa Discovery Center.
As for restaurants, here are some:
-Hilo Bay Cafe
-Ken’s House of Pancakes
-Hilo Homemade Ice Cream
-Pahoa Lounge
-Uncle Billy’s Fish & Steak House
These are the group of Giant sea turtles, which I swam with today. There is a great feeling when you swim with this guys, you should try it. On Kauai, Hawaii there are many things to do, but you should drive to the end of the road and swim at Kee. You may see more about this at http://www.on-kauai.com

The Big Island gets snow, so maybe you can try snowboarding. *shrug* But if you are trying to get away from the cold, go to the beach, take a tour around the island, etc.
My girlfriend and I are traveling to Hawaii in about a week. We’re staying on Oahu Island on Waikiki Beach. We’re not staying for long. What are some things you highly recommend? What are some things you hated or found boring? Any tips – including anything you found incredibly romantic, interesting or delicious – are much appreciated!
RECOMMENDED
I love the Mai Tais at the Shorebird. They also have live music and a nice atmosphere.
Take a drive around the island, check out the insane surfers on the north shore at the world-famous surf spot Pipeline, visit the Byodo-In Temple (see link below), have a "shave ice" at Matsumoto’s, stop at a grocery store on the way and get some local food like saimin noodles, spam musubi or kahlua pork.
Try scuba diving! It’s amazing! Something like 1/3 of Hawaii’s underwater life isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Most dive shops will pick you up from your hotel. Jan/Feb is whale season so there’s a good chance you’ll see whales on the boat trip out (it’s like a 2-for-1 scuba and whale watching).
Delicious: malasadas (portuguese donuts) very addictive and a local favorite.
The Aloha Stadium swap meet is the best place to find a variety of inexpensive souvenirs. It doesn’t run everyday, so check the link below.
NOT SO MUCH
The Dole Pineapple plantation was kinda "meh." It’s really touristy.
GET THERE EARLY
* If you want to hike to the top of Diamond Head, go early. Otherwise it’s hot and crowded.
* Same for the Arizona Memorial – get there when they open because about 45 minutes later dozens of tour buses will show up.
Have a great trip!
My Braddah EB and I headed to da North Shore of Oahu to ck out da early November North Shore swells…They had been going off with small 6-8 foot faces…Not a bad way to start the Winter season!!!!
PIPE is famous for its big barrals ranging 30 to 40 feet during best conditions in the middle of winter. NO Vistors to the islands should enter the water on the North Shore during the winter months…PERIOD! Sit back, relax and watch the Surfers ride these killer breaks!

What are some things that’s bad or negative about Hawaii?
ex. bad weather or something?
Way too expensive to live and can’t find a job.
My senior friends are in deep trouble because there is no jobs available for them that they can survive on their own on.
Sometimes my mom thinks its not worth it living in Hawaii because there are always more taxes being made and they want to build buildings to "better hawaii" and it sucks money out of the peoples wallets.
Another thing is its not the same. Barely people know the meaning of aloha.
I’m going to Hawaii and i want to know some fun and maybe cheap things to do.
Which island will you be visiting? If you update your question with that we should be able to give you some answers.
For my Senior trip, I plan on going to either Hilo, Hawaii or Honolulu. What are some fun things to do, besides just the beach?
For Honolulu and depending on your circumstances on knowing that you don’t want the beach. I would point you to Chinatown that offers an exciting time for shopping and some good restaurants. Hiking trails at Diamond Head, Mokapuu Lighthouse, Lanikai Pillbox, or Kaena Point trails offers some beautiful sights. Iolani Palace, the Missionary Houses, USS Arizona memorial, USS Missouri, and the Pacific Aviation Museum offers some of our island history. Ala Moana shopping mall and Ward Center offers some more shopping. The Dole plantation and the North Shore, Haleiwa offers even some more shopping in some unique shops.
There is still a lot to do without hitting the beach while you are here on Oahu. We hope you enjoy yourself.
Just another local….
