What is June on Oahu?

Here's a look at the weather and what to wear on Oahu in June.

 

Oahu's June Climate and Prices

June on the island of Oahu is the month of summer, with an average high temperature of 30.6°C. The rainfall is as low as 20 mm, and the days are dry and hot! Precipitation is as low as 20 mm, and the days are dry and hot.

The weather is calm, making it a great season for travel, but keep in mind that the east coast can have strong winds blowing from the northeast, so keep that in mind when traveling there.

The water temperature rises to 26.1°C, allowing marine activities to be enjoyed without problems.

Since there are no holidays in June in Japan, it is the off-season and rates are relatively inexpensive.

However, since the U.S. begins its summer vacation in mid-June, Oahu becomes crowded with tourists from mid-June onward.

For this reason, early June is the best time to make an itinerary.

 

What to Wear and Bring to Oahu in June

Here are some recommendations for what to wear and what to bring on your trip to Oahu in June.

 

Appropriate clothing for June

Since it is perfectly summery during the day, light clothing such as shorts, shorts, and sandals are fine!

However, indoors and on buses, the air conditioning is more effective than you might think, so it is useful to have something light to wrap yourself in.

Also, UV rays will be stronger, so be sure to prepare a proper hat to protect against UV rays.

If you spend a lot of time outside or on the beach during the day, we recommend that you wear a rash guard to prevent sunburn.

Keep in mind that UV rays on Oahu are more intense than in Tokyo.

 

What to bring in June

In any case, you should have a hat, sunglasses, and a rash guard to protect yourself from the intense ultraviolet rays.

Sunscreen cream is also essential, but some sunscreen creams cannot be used due to recently enacted laws, so those who are concerned are advised to procure it locally.

Basically, anything that does not contain the ingredients "oxybenzone" and "octinoxate" is fine.

Coral reefs in Hawaii are dying increasingly, and one of the causes is the leaching of sunscreen cream into the ocean, which contains substances harmful to coral.

To protect corals, the use and sale of sunscreen creams containing these ingredients is prohibited.

Let's make sure we work together to protect Oahu's natural environment.

 

Things to do and see on Oahu in June

Let's check out some of the unique ways to enjoy Oahu in June and what to look out for!

 

How to enjoy

<June Event
King Kamehameha Celebration
Festival in Hawaii - Pan Pacific Festival

Every year on June 11, events are held in honor of King Kamehameha the Great. King Kamehameha the Great was the king and hero who created Hawaii.

The statue of King Kamehameha the Great is decorated with beautiful leis, and the whole island of Oahu comes alive with parades, shows, and other events.

If you are just on Oahu on this day, you will definitely want to take a picture of the statue of King Kamehameha the Great. It is surely more beautifully decorated than you can imagine!

This event allows visitors to fully enjoy the atmosphere of a local festival.

 

important point

June, like May, has strong ultraviolet rays.

Be sure to take UV protection and drink plenty of water to avoid heat stroke. Ultraviolet rays often pass through the ocean as well, so avoid exposing your skin for long periods of time by wearing a rash guard when playing in the ocean.

We recommend that you enjoy outside activities while taking frequent breaks.

 

Recommended Activities in June

Here are five recommended activities for June!

 

snorkeling

Snorkeling is one of the marine activities that anyone can enjoy.

Since few tools are required and can be easily rented at rental stores, it is easy to try it anywhere.

 

Fun & Attraction

Snorkeling is a more enjoyable way to dive in shallow water than diving.

Wouldn't it be great to see brightly colored coral and small fish swimming by? That's why we recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

Hanauma Bay is a designated nature preserve, a place where efforts are focused on ecological and environmental conservation.

For this reason, several rules must be followed in order to use Hanauma Bay, and an entrance fee must be paid.

But even if you pay for it, you should try snorkeling in Hanauma Bay!

The clarity of the water is so high that you can see what is going on underwater even without a snorkel, and once you dive in, you are sure to be mesmerized by this world.

diving

Diving is a great way to enjoy the undersea world and has many attractions.

Just diving in the blue ocean while listening to the sound of the sea is soothing, but when colorful small fish and corals appear, you can experience beauty that cannot be seen on land.

In addition to marine life, visitors can also enjoy the exciting world of mysterious landforms and sunken man-made structures created by nature.

 

Fun & Attraction

There are various diving spots on Oahu. Among them, I would like to introduce a spot called Makaha Kavan.

Located in the southern part of Oahu, this dive site offers a unique view of the mysterious terrain created by lava flowing from a volcanic eruption.

Cute fish live in the many caves and can be seen swimming up close.

Depths are relatively shallow, ranging from 5 to 16 meters, so even beginners can dive.

 

SUP

SUP is stand-up paddleboarding, an activity in which one moves through the water on a board larger than a surfboard.

The basic idea is to paddle standing up, but there are endless ways to have fun, such as lying on the board or doing yoga!

 

Fun & Attraction

If you are trying SUP for the first time, we recommend that you join a SUP-based tour.

For example, there are various types of tours that take you to a nearby uninhabited island to explore by SUP, or to do yoga while riding a SUP.

Basically, all of these tours have an instructor or guide, so I highly recommend these tours as a great way to experience new activities and enjoy the island of Oahu.

 

parasailing

Parasailing is an activity that allows you to enjoy the sky!

While skydiving requires preparation for the descent from far above, parasailing requires no preparation and is easy to participate in.

 

Fun & Attraction

The greatest appeal of parasailing is that it is an easy way to enjoy air travel.

While seated, the two of you can also fly up into the sky together and enjoy the beautiful scenery without experiencing any fear of falling.

Although there are some weight restrictions, the secret of its popularity is that it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age or sex, more so than skydiving.

This activity allows you to enjoy the scenery of Oahu while enjoying the pleasant breeze on the ocean.

 

cruising

Cruising is a slightly luxurious activity that allows you to spend an elegant moment at sea without getting wet.

 

Fun & Attraction

This activity is recommended for adults who would rather spend an elegant moment at sea while enjoying a delicious meal and watching the sunset, rather than enjoying marine activities by using their bodies to the fullest.

Although more expensive than other activities, the time spent in Oahu's waters will be a memory that will last a lifetime.

A night cruise to view Waikiki fireworks from the ocean is a romantic and recommended experience!

Kuhio is the name of a real Hawaiian prince, and a bronze statue of him is one of the tourist attractions.
