Between the chilly temperatures and the disappearing sunlight of Midwest winters, it’s not hard to see why meeting with your St. Louis travel agent to discuss a wintertime vacation is such a great idea. Here is a look at why you should head to exotic Hawaii to escape your winter blues:
Enjoy High Daily Average Temperatures While you may be cranking up the heat in your home this January, over in Hawaii, residents and visitors alike are enjoying temperatures right around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Imagine exploring memorable cities such as Waikiki, Honolulu, and historic Kailua Village with the top down on your rented convertible or even on a romantic bike excursion with your significant other. Catch the Best Waves of the Year If anyone in your family is a surfer, you’ll be happy to know that there’s no better time to hit the waves in Hawaii than in the winter. For more experienced surfers, the 20-foot swells will provide a seaside playground. If you’d rather enjoy the view from the comfort of the beach, you’re sure to be entertained by the brave souls taking on the surf at locations like Waimea Beach and the North Shore of Oahu. Witness the Migration of 6,000 Humpback Whales There are few things more majestic than witnessing one of the world’s most mysterious and graceful creatures—the humpback whale—during the annual migration to Hawaii to breed and give birth. The best time to catch humpback whales is from January until March, though you may be able to catch them in April, as well. The travel agents here at Brentwood Travel can help you make memories this winter in a variety of fun locales. Whether a Hawaiian beach getaway appeals to you or you want to hit the slopes in the Swiss Alps, we can get you there. Call us at (314) 439-5700 to learn more about our services. |
