Discover the charm of Hawi holidays
Tucked away on the northern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii, Hawi is a peaceful retreat that combines natural beauty with a strong sense of community and culture. It's the kind of place where time slows down, ideal for Irish holidaymakers looking to swap grey skies for tropical greenery, volcanic coastlines and that famously laid-back Hawaiian lifestyle. Whether you’re into hiking, history, or simply recharging, Hawi offers a genuine escape from the everyday.
How to reach Hawi
Travelling to Hawi from Ireland involves a long-haul journey but one that’s well worth it. Flights from Dublin to either Kona or Hilo International Airports typically take around 17 to 20 hours, including layovers in cities like New York or San Francisco. Once in Hawaii, Hawi is about a 90-minute scenic drive from Kona Airport or just over two hours from Hilo. Car hire is the most convenient option for getting there and exploring the island.
Best time to visit Hawi
With a warm tropical climate all year round, there’s never a bad time to visit Hawi. Daytime temperatures range from around 20°C in winter to 27°C in summer, with sea breezes keeping things comfortable. The dry season runs from May to October and is perfect for outdoor adventures and peaceful walks through the lush countryside. From December to April, the island is a little busier with tourists escaping colder weather back home, but this also coincides with whale-watching season and vibrant cultural festivals.
