A rainy day in Honolulu
Museums, a palace and a garden of Islamic art for when the trade-wind showers settle in.
A wet day in Honolulu is a good excuse for the best museums in the Pacific, a royal palace and a house full of Islamic art on the ocean.
Rain often hits the windward side while town stays dry, so check the radar before you cancel the beach.

Questions people ask
Where does it rain least on Oʻahu?
The leeward (west) and south shores, including Waikīkī and Ko Olina, get the least rain. The windward side and the valleys get the most.
Is Bishop Museum worth it?
Yes. It’s the state museum of Hawaiian history and culture; allow at least two hours, and add a planetarium show.
Do I need to book ʻIolani Palace?
Yes. Tickets are sold online only and there are no same-day tickets. Tours run Tuesday to Saturday.
