Resorts & Communities in Hawaii

Hawaii’s mild-tropical climate makes it great year-round, but spring (April to early June) and fall (September to mid-December) bring pleasant weather and smaller crowds. Winter offers big surf and whale watching, while summer is warm, busy, and family-friendly. Year-round temperatures tend to range from high 70°F to high 80°F, with northeast trade winds bringing a cool breeze across the islands

There are five major commercial airports across four islands, with the main hub being the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) located in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

Additional major airports are located on Maui and Kauai, as well as two on the Big Island. Short inter-island flights make hopping between islands quick and easy. Ferries connect Maui, Lanai, and Molokai for a scenic alternative.

Exploring all that Hawaii has to offer is generally best done off-the-beaten-path and at your own leisure, which makes renting a car a good idea. A rental car gives you the freedom to reach beaches, scenic drives, and local eateries. While Oahu offers more public transit and rideshares, a car still makes exploring easier. It’s worth keeping in mind that other islands do not offer as reliable transportation alternatives.

Choosing which Hawaiian island to visit depends on what type of vibe and pace you’re after.

• Oahu is home to the vibrant state capital of Honolulu, blending city life with world-class surf and historic sites. Oahu is known as “The Gathering Place.”
• Maui, “The Valley Isle” suits beach lovers and road trippers (Road to Hana) - and to many is the most breathtaking
• Kauai, “The Garden Isle”, is popular among hikers and nature lovers as it offers the jagged sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, stunning views at Waimea Canyon, and lush valleys
• The Big Island - Hawaii - features active volcanoes, lush rainforests, and remarkable black and green sand beaches. With more area to explore, the Big Island is great for road trips, variety, and dramatic landscape.
• “The Friendly Isle” of Molokai along with Lanai “The Pineapple Isle” are two much quieter options during a Hawaiian getaway.
