Tourists back holidaying in Hawaii post storms

Tourists back holidaying in Hawaii post storms
By admin


Just days after tropical storm Iselle swept through the islands of Hawaii, tourists in Oahu and other popular parts of the islands are back enjoying their beach holiday.

The storm did not cause much widespread disaster however parts of the Big Island have spent more than 24-hours without electricity and is struggling with downed trees blocking roads.

On the island of Kauai, rescuers found the body of a 19-year-old woman over the weekend, believed to have been swept away in a stream while hiking on Friday in a closed state park during a tropical storm warning.

Iselle made landfall early on Friday over the lower Puna region in the isolated southeastern part of the island, bringing down heavy rain, unleashing violent winds and toppling trees.

Umbrellas, surfboards and kayaks were back on Saturday at Waikiki Beach, despite overcast and intermittent rain, as attention shifted toward Hurricane Julio.

Updated over the weekend, Hawaiian Airlines advised they will waive reservation change fees and differences in fares for customers who need to change their travel plans because of Hurricane Iselle and Hurricane Julio.

Conditions do apply to these changes and the airline urges all travellers to contact their booking agent for more details.
