History of Honolulu

Honolulu translates to ‘protected bay’, as it’s bordered by calm, deep-water harbour. It was around the 12^th century the Polynesians settled into what we know as Honolulu, the state capital of Hawai'i. Discovered by the infamous Captain James Cook in 1778, Honolulu was once turbulent and full of conflicts, including the becoming of an American state but most recent warfare we all know is Pearl Harbour during WWII. Since the war, Honolulu has developed into a great pacific metropolis, Honolulu has been and will remain one of the top destinations for people to have a dream getaway. A great encouragement of festivals and events from all aspects of cultures on this Island. Beyond the incredible beaches you will discover the imprint history has blessed this island with.

Best time to go to Honolulu

Honolulu has a warm tropical climate that enjoys wonderful weather all year round. The autumn months between September – December make a good time to visit. The crowds are low, the weather is great, and rates are down. You may encounter some rain during your trip, but rain in Honolulu brings its benefits like its beautiful waterfalls, blooming flowers and delightful produce. You may even encounter Humpback whales that are only in the warm Hawai'ian waters around this time.

Weather in Honolulu

Honolulu has two main seasons characterised by a warm winter and an even warmer summer. Summer (Kau in Hawaiian) is from May through to October, and winter (Ho'oilo) is from November to April. Temperatures in Honolulu differ throughout the year, you’re looking at average high temperatures of 27–32 °C and average lows of 18–24 °C, always remaining warm.

Foods and local of Honolulu

At first Hawaiian food will seem like it was created on the whims of a dare challenge, Pineapple on pizza, rice or noodles or rice noodles; laden with some kind of sauce slaw including every raw ingredient from the sea (Poke) and dare we say it SPAM sushi. You could play it safe and go to a fine dining restaurant where traditional American or French food is served in a nice building with some nice Hawai'ian wall paper which has a Hawai'ian Wahini or surfer print on it. Or you could accept the dare and discover the bold flavours of Hawai'i and reach somewhere over the rainbow like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.

If you eat one meal in Hawai'i, make it a traditional one and it will be absolutely delicious! You must try the Hawai'ian speciality, Poke, a wildly popular dish among the locals. The cuisine is a fish salad made up of bite-size chunks of raw fish usually tuna, with some combination of onions, chili pepper, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. The ubiquitous Poke is a product of native Hawai'ian culture, one of the most beloved menu items in Honolulu.

Local Hawai'ian produce is a home grown medley of surf and turf and served from farm to table in the chain of production. Go local and you will usually find the best Loco Moco, get the best part of the hamburger filling served with a gravy, try it café diner style at the very popular Café 100 – Home of the Loco Moco apparently, or go gourmet and degust at Alan Wongs, either experience will enhance your Honolulu holiday.
