Hawaii is a beautiful warm place to visit all year round given it´s proximity to the equator. April is the last month of the winter season called ’Hooilo´.
Temperatures range between 68°F and 82°F. The
water temperature starts to rise to 77°F which opens the doors to a wonderful beach vacation. Also, the
average rainfall of 8 days which was higher in the months before, has dropped and it begins to be much drier as we head towards the summer season. And days are becoming longer with
9 hours of sunshine on average.
April is a fantastic time to visit Hawaii for a vacation.
You should find it to be a
quiet time of year in terms of tourists visiting. Just around Easter time, there might be a few more tourists around. The months preceding April were the peak for the humpback whales to return to Hawaii to bread. But if you are lucky you might see them still in April too. You can also enjoy any kind of other
shore excursion offered in Hawaii.
