Destination guide

Hawaii not? Living the good life in Honolulu

On the south shore of Oahu, Honolulu is a cosmopolitan city that's known for its stellar beaches, sprawling resorts and a wealth of scenic natural beauty. A thriving metropolis – it is the state capital, after all – Honolulu's got plenty of arts and culture institutions, too. You can find everything from international art museums and a world-class performing arts centre to upscale shopping malls and contemporary cinemas. With plenty of sleek high-rises, palatial retreats and homey beachfront bungalows throughout the city, you'll find Honolulu vacation rentals to suit all tastes.

Things to do

Getting to the art of the matter in cultural Honolulu

Of course, Honolulu's more than just another pretty face. It's also a cultural heavy-hitter, and you can find loads of worthwhile sights throughout the city. For a real culture trip, check out the Honolulu Museum of Art, where you can scope more than 50,000 works of art and cultural artifacts from all over the world. Or you can get a heavy dose of history at Pearl Harbor, a longstanding naval site offering guided tours and numerous historic landmarks. And visitors of all ages can enjoy the sights at family favorites like the Foster Botanical Garden and the 17-hectare Honolulu Zoo.

Activities

Say aloha to Honolulu's bodacious beaches

It wouldn't be a tropical paradise without a few hours (or days) on a sun-soaked beach, so start putting on the sunscreen now. With countless beaches throughout the area, the world-renowned Waikiki Beach is as good a place to start as any. Here, you can find plenty of broad, sandy beaches with loads of space for swimming, sunbathing, volleyball and more. Surfing is a popular pastime, and the north side of the island is revered for its legendary breaks and epic swells. You can find countless hikes in the area, and the nearby Diamond Head offers 1-of-a-kind views of its iconic crater.

Weather

Warm, warmer, warmest – tropical seasons in Honolulu

Like much of Hawaii, Honolulu has a tropical climate, with warm year-round temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons. Thanks to a rain shadow cast by the island's mountainous interior, Honolulu has relatively dry summers, and temperatures regularly climb to 32 degrees between June and August. The cooler, wetter winter months generally peak around 27 degrees, with most of the city's rain falling between November and March. A popular destination all year round, you'll find that prices on Honolulu vacation rentals stay about the same from one season to the next.

Natural highlights

Once more into the beach – Honolulu's waterfront

Honolulu lies on the south shore of the island of Oahu, and you'll find plenty of broad, sandy beaches along the shore of the Pacific Ocean. The city itself is fairly dense, with modern high-rise buildings concentrated in the urban downtown centre, as well as charming suburbs and a number of sprawling beachfront resorts. Further inland, you can find Diamond Head, a dormant 232-metre-high volcano that offers scenic views of its crater and the surrounding area. With such stellar surroundings, you won't have any trouble finding Honolulu vacation rentals within a stone's throw of the area's scenic natural beauty.
