Question

What are these extra events in the RSVP?

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

We want people to be comfortable! The dress code will be "dressy casual." For this time of year in Hawaii, we would suggest: • Sundresses • Light weight separates • Dress shirts with khakis or other lightweight slacks • Jackets and ties optional The ceremony will be outdoors on grass, so please keep this in mind when selecting your shoes. You may also want to wear sunscreen! If you had also never heard of "dressy casual," here are some ideas: https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-dressy-casual

Question

Could you suggest things to do in Hawaii?

Answer

There are lots of things to do in Hawaii, even if you don't leave the island of Oahu. Check out the "Things To Do" tab above for some of our personal recommendations!

Question

The majority of the time, the weather is sunny with temperatures in the low 80's. Be prepared for possible rain, though, especially if you venture out to the east side of the island.

Answer

Yes, but it has fewer drivers and longer wait times than you may be used to on the mainland.

The only way between islands is by plane, though these "island hopper" flights are usually less than $100 roundtrip.

Can I see volcanoes / Do I have to worry about volcanoes?

Answer

There have not been active volcanoes on Oahu in millions of years. You will need to take an island hopping flight over to the big island if you'd like to see the still active, but tourist safe, volcano. If you want to see an extinct volcano crater, sign up for the Diamond Head Hike!
