Things to Know -- Wardrobe

You're planning to come to Hawaii and wondering what to pack ... here are a few suggestions. The islands of Hawaii have many diverse ecosystems, each with different climates. For example, the tops of Mauna Kea (Big Island) and Mt. Haleakala (Maui) get snow in the winter while it is in the 70's at beaches around the islands. Consider what activities you plan to enjoy, then pack. If you plan to explore trails through rainforests, bring shoes you don't mind getting really muddy. If you plan to walk the lava fields of Volcano's National Park on the Big Island, keep in mind that some lava is very sharp and proper hiking shoes are necessary. Just be casual. You do not need to bring a suit, dress slacks, or fancy cloths. The attitude and dress code for the islands is "hang loose." Even at the fanciest of restaurants, aloha wear is all you need.
