Things to know about Hawaii as a first time visitor
1
Hawaii is made up of eight main islands: Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe.
2
The official state language is English, but you'll also hear a lot of Hawaiian and Pidgin (a creole language that is a blend of English, Hawaiian, and other languages).
3
Hawaii operates on Hawaii Standard Time. It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so it can be anywhere from 2 to 5 hours behind the mainland U.S., depending on the time of year and the time zone of your home state.
4
The climate is tropical, but temperatures and humidity tend to be less extreme than other tropical locales due to the constant trade winds. Average temperatures range from 78-88°F (25-31°C) in the summer and 73-78°F (22-25°C) in the winter.
5
Hawaii has a casual dress code. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen. Don't forget a light jacket or sweater for the evenings or higher elevations.
6
Hawaii has strict agricultural laws to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. You are not allowed to bring fresh fruits, vegetables, plants, or flowers from the mainland without inspection.
7
Tipping is customary in Hawaii, similar to the rest of the U.S. A 15-20% tip is standard for restaurants, taxis, and services.
8
Hawaii has a high cost of living, so expect prices for food, goods, and services to be higher than on the mainland.
9
The ocean can be dangerous, so always heed posted warnings and never turn your back on the ocean. Rip currents, high surf, and dangerous marine life can pose risks.
10
Hawaii is a paradise for outdoor activities. However, it's important to respect nature and stay on marked trails, not to touch or disturb wildlife, and to pack out what you pack in.
11
Hawaii has a rich cultural history. Respect sacred sites, like heiaus (ancient Hawaiian temples), and don't remove rocks or sand from the islands.
12
The sun in Hawaii is stronger than most places, due to its proximity to the equator. Always wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
13
Hawaii has a slower pace of life, often referred to as 'Island Time'. Be patient and enjoy the relaxed pace.
14
Public transportation options vary by island. Oahu has extensive bus service, while the other islands are best explored by rental car.
15
Hawaii has a diverse food scene, influenced by Native Hawaiian, Asian, and American cuisines. Try local specialties like poke, loco moco, and shave ice.
16
Hawaii is home to many endangered species. It's illegal and harmful to the environment to feed, touch, or harass wildlife.
17
Hawaii has a rainy season from November to March, but showers are usually brief and followed by sunshine.
18
Hawaii is a popular destination, so it's best to book accommodations and activities well in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
19
Hawaii has a sales tax of 4.166% to 4.712%, depending on the county. This is often added at the register, so the price you see on a tag may not be the final price.
20
Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so flights can be long. Make sure to stay hydrated, move around during the flight, and adjust to the local time as quickly as possible to minimize jet lag.

Weather Conditions
Hawaii is a tropical paradise known for its year-round mild climate. However, it's important to remember that the weather can vary depending on the time of year and location within the islands. The average daytime temperature in Hawaii is generally around 85°F (29°C), while at night it can drop to around 70°F (21°C). However, these temperatures can fluctuate depending on the season and the specific island you're visiting. Hawaii experiences two main seasons: the dry season (May to October) and the wet season (November to April). The dry season is typically warmer and less humid, while the wet season is cooler and more humid, with more frequent rainfall. However, even during the wet season, rain showers are often brief and followed by sunshine. If you're planning to visit the islands during the wet season, it's a good idea to pack a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella. Even during the dry season, it's wise to have a hat and sunscreen to protect against the strong tropical sun. One unique aspect of Hawaii's weather is the microclimates. The islands' diverse landscapes, from beaches to mountains, can create localized weather conditions. For instance, the windward (eastern) sides of the islands often receive more rain than the leeward (western) sides. So, if you're planning to explore different parts of the islands, be prepared for varying weather conditions. Lastly, if you're planning to visit the higher elevations like Mauna Kea or Haleakala, remember that temperatures can be significantly cooler, and these areas can even experience snowfall in the winter months. So, pack accordingly with warmer clothing. In conclusion, Hawaii's weather is generally pleasant, but it's always a good idea to check the local forecast and pack for a variety of conditions. Enjoy your trip to this beautiful tropical paradise!
