Oahu has a year-round warm tropical climate, with averaged daily temperatures ranging from 76°F to 87°F in August.
August is one of Hawaii’s drier months with less rain to be expected during your stay. If your activities and sightseeing take you to higher ground, the higher you go, the colder the temperatures. Trips to many mountains and volcanoes of Hawaii usually require jackets and pants.

Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oahu is Hawaii’s major airport, serving as the entry point for most of Hawaii’s visitors. All major domestic carriers and many international carriers serve Oahu, so you can get here from just about anywhere.

June 24, 2021 – Effective July 8, the State of Hawai‘i will eliminate its pre-travel testing/quarantine requirement for domestic travelers to Hawai‘i who have been fully vaccinated in the United States. Travelers to Hawai‘i must upload their CDC issued vaccination record card to the state’s Safe Travels Program website and have that card with them upon arrival in the State of Hawai‘i.
Gov. David Ige also announced that once Hawaii achieves a 70% vaccination rate, all restrictions on travel will be lifted and the Safe Travels program will end. Please refer to "Travel" page for more info on the Safe Travels Hawai‘i program.
Everyone traveling to Hawaii must register online with their flight info, where they will be staying, complete a health questionnaire, and upload a negative PCR test result or vaccination card if vaccinated in the U.S. on the following site: travel.hawaii.gov/#/ . Please complete the health questionnaire 24-hours prior to your flight. You will receive an email with a QR code that will be scanned by a screener at the airport.
Please refer to this post for detailed steps and processes on what it's like traveling to Hawaii while vaccinated.

Transportation to and from the wedding ceremony & reception will be provided for guests not staying at the Four Seasons. Please check back shortly for detailed info.
For guests who stay at the FS during the wedding weekend, there's a pedestrian path along the backside of the resort with a private gate that guests could use to get to Lanikuhonua the venue, should be 5-7 min total from start to finish. Alternatively, guests could check with the front-drive team to see if the house car or golf cart is available, please note this is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
For our guests who plan on renting vehicles for their island visit, it is highly recommended to do so as soon as possible as there's a rental car shortage across the nation and all islands. We also recommend checking out Turo if you are not finding anything through the normal rental companies such as Enterprise, Budget, etc..
Uber and Lyft are readily available from most areas on Oahu. May experience longer wait times (10min+) for areas outside of Waikiki/Honolulu or during rush hour. Taxis are also generally available at the hotels, shopping centers, and the airport.
A:
For our guests' convenience, a block of rooms has been reserved at Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina (located right next to Lanikuhonua the venue, 5-7 mins walking distance) with heavily discounted special group rates. Please see "Travel" page for booking information.
Oahu has lodging choices ranging from B&B's, inns and home/apartment rentals to five-star resorts. The majority of Oahu's accommodations are in Waikiki, the vibrant Honolulu neighborhood located in the heart of great shopping and beautiful beaches. A condo or bed and breakfast in Kailua can be a great choice for proximity to Kailua's gorgeous beaches on the windward side. North Shore vacation rentals and condos, particularly in the area of the legendary surf town Haleiwa, can be a more peaceful alternative to Waikiki, if you want to experience a different side of the island.
We would be more than happy to make recommendations as to where you should stay based on what you are looking for. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
