Hawa : When to go ?

Temperatures are mild all year round in Hawaii but it's a custom to distinguish 2 seasons: winter, with 25 ° C on average and a few showers, and summer, warmer and drier, with about 30 ° C.Good to know.

Spoken languages

We don't usually speak French in Hawaii.Both official languages are English and Hawaiian but English is spoken by all. Only twenty words and expressions in Hawaiian are used daily and no one is fluent in this language (except on the private island of Niihau). If you speak English and learn the " ? vocabulary of survival" in Hawaiian, then you would be like a chef ?! And if you really want to pass for a room, put yourself to the pidgin, Hawaiian Creole, which is the local slang.Learning the language. There are different ways to learn a few basics of language and the offer for self-learning can be done on different media: CD, DVD, exercise books or even directly on the Internet.

Currency

The single currency is the US dollar. Coin says corner and currency says change. The dollar is divided into 100 cents. The 25 cent coin is called quarter (quarter of dollar), that of 10 cents cents (very small), that of 5 nickel nickel (larger than the cent) and that of 1 cent called Penny (tiny) serves to make the extra. There is also a more rare use of coins of half a dollar and one dollar. Always have a good reserve. To devote a special grant to them, because these coins serve all day: bus, telephone, parking (attention the contractors are fast). Nobody will exchange you on the sidewalk. Side tickets are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 US $. They are effigy of the first American presidents, from George Washington for US $ 1 to Benjamin Franklin for US $ 100. 1 dollar tickets are also very popular for tips and to help you get back on track again.

Weather

In Hawaii, temperatures are summer-round but on every island, climate can vary considerably depending on the coast on which you are located. The rule is always the same: the north coast, known as the "wind", is quite wet (due to the rain-carrying winds), while the west and south coast, known as "under the wind", is sunny and dry. It is no coincidence that most tourist complexes are installed on the coast "under the wind"!Depending on the activities you wish to practice during your holidays, you should opt for winter or summer. In winter, the sea is rather turbulent, and it's the surf season. In summer, the sea is much calmer, suitable for bathing, surf courses for beginners, snorkeling and kayaking.
