As the first signs of spring emerge, it’s time to start planning your next adventure.
For many families, spring break is the perfect opportunity to escape the stresses of school and work and enjoy some much-needed R&R in a breathtaking location.
The Time to Visit Oahu is Now
If you’re looking for a destination that has it all—from gorgeous beaches and outdoor adventure to delicious food and distinctive culture—then Oahu, Hawaii, is the perfect choice for you.
With its stunning natural landscapes, rich culture and tradition, and endless opportunities for fun and adventure, Oahu is a top destination for spring breakers looking for an unforgettable getaway.
5 Reasons to Visit Oahu This Spring Break
Whether you want to hop aboard an ocean adventure cruise, hike to see birds-eye views of the island below, or simply enjoy a sunset walk on the beach, you’re sure to find something that suits your style this spring break on Oahu.
Here are five reasons why you and the family must spend spring break on Oahu.
1. The Weather Couldn’t Be Better!
Hawaii’s spring break weather is ideal for spending time at the beach, in the water, or exploring one of the island’s many green spaces—if you find yourself on Oahu’s windward coast, a visit to the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens is a must!
With temperatures ranging in the mid to late 70s during the day, Oahu is a snorkel lovers’ paradise. At night, things tend to cool down, with the average temperature on Oahu ranging in the mid-60s—there’s less humidity and a refreshing salty ocean breeze in the air whether you decide to take a stroll on the beach at sunset or sip cocktails on your hotel room’s relaxed lanai.
2. Peak Whale Watching Season
Oahu’s whale watching season runs from mid-December to mid-May, giving visitors a chance to spot these enormous creatures in their natural habitat.
Whether you’re on a boat in the Pacific Ocean—remember, under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, it’s illegal for vessels to be less than 100 yards from a humpback whale—or watching from ashore, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these majestic mammals to breach and leap from the water.
3. It’s Low Tide at the Kaneohe Sandbar
One of the great things about booking a KBOS cruise to the Kaneohe sandbar in the spring is low tide. While the sandbar waters year-round are only waist-deep and calm—perfect for families with small kids—they’ll be at their lowest levels on both our morning and afternoon cruises to the sandbar during the months of March and April.
Visiting Oahu in the fall or winter? Here’s how to check when low and high tide will be at the Kaneohe sandbar.
4. A Great Time to Explore the Outdoors
Spending spring break on Oahu allows visitors the chance to explore the island’s many hiking trails. That, coupled with mild, low-humidity weather and less crowded trails during the summer months, makes for a fun daytime outdoor adventure.
Popular hikes such as the Manoa Falls Trail and Diamond Head are excellent choices for first-time and seasoned visitors to Oahu.
5. Immerse in Hawaiian Culture
