Do you think it will be safe for a girl to go alone?
What is the weather like around December?

I have never been there! Thank you in advance.

I think it depends on what you expect from Hawaii.

The islands are each a little different. The oldest and most jungle like is Kauai. Oahu is more settled, i.e. has the most people/cities etc.. Maui I’d say more touristy and Hawaii is very unlike the others. Hawaii has huge lava flows covering much of the island that give it an almost desert like appearance. The other islands, being older, nature has broken their lava rock down to support vegetation.

Places like Waikoloa Village mentioned above are like resorts carved out of stone.

At the same time, Hawaii has the black and green sand beaches and the volcano park on the east side of the island is very very interesting. The volcano is still active and building the island more and more everyday.

I think it would be very safe to go to a place like Waikoloa Village or any of the hotels in Ka’anapali – just up the beach from Lahina on Maui. You can spend time lounging by the pool bar or head into Lahina for some shopping and nightlife. There is a great luau in Lahina.

The word Lahina means something like constant sunshine, the weather will be great.

For surfing, on any of the islands go to the north shore.

Look up Snorkel Bob’s (www.snorkelbob.com) and spend the $18 to get the reality guide to Hawaii. It’s very well written, funny and an a very honest guide regarding what to expect.

The coolest thing about being on Maui in the winter time is the whales. You can see whales breaching from the beaches all the time. The whales (gray whales I think) have their baby’s in the waters west of Maui during the winter months. It’s really cool.
