Start with a HawaiiGuide itinerary or answer a few questions. We’ll shape a complete, editable plan around your dates, pace, interests, dining style, and must-dos—then My Trip checks live weather and active Kīlauea conditions for smarter changes.
Your plan combines your answers and saved quiz preferences with HawaiiGuide's curated place data. AI may help assemble the plan and power follow-up chat and alternatives. Once dated plans enter the live forecast window, My Trip compares weather-sensitive and flexible days. For Big Island trips, it can also flag exact active Kīlauea fountaining reported through our USGS HVO-backed status, but it never moves a reservation or fixed-time plan automatically—including a volcano day. Forecasts, live feeds, and AI can be wrong, so review every suggested change and confirm hours, reservations, closures, ocean conditions, official alerts, air quality, park access, and safety details before you go.

Trades are breezy right now with scattered showers on the windward side and mountains; the leeward coast stays mostly dry. Tomorrow stays breezy with the same pattern.
A tropical disturbance southeast of the islands is likely to become a tropical storm by mid-week and approach the state Thursday through Saturday. The exact track is still uncertain. If it comes closer, expect heavier rain over a longer stretch; if it stays farther out, impacts will be shorter and lighter. Winds will increase late this week, with potential gusts over 70 miles per hour on the highest summits.
Plan your leeward beach time and snorkeling for today through Tuesday. Save summit drives and offshore water sports for after Saturday, and check updates daily as this develops.
