The Pros and Cons of Fall in Hawaii (Big Island Edition)

What does fall in Hawai‘i really feel like? 🍂
It’s not about falling leaves or chilly mornings — it’s about small, beautiful changes that locals learn to notice.

In this video, Eric and I share what it’s like living through the “autumn season” here on Hawai‘i Island. Kona’s hills are still lush and green after months of rain, the ocean stays warm enough for snorkeling, and the sunsets turn golden as the sun shifts lower in the sky. But the days are still hot — the kind of humid heat that keeps you reaching for a fan while dreaming about cooler nights ahead.

This time of year brings quieter beaches, fewer tourists, and a slower rhythm — the calm between summer and the holiday rush. It’s also when the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival fills the air with that rich, roasted aroma, and the kōlea birds return from Alaska, signaling the change of season. 🌺

We talk about all of it — the pros, the cons, and those subtle moments that make fall in Hawai‘i feel different from anywhere else. From calm ocean mornings to cool evening breezes, this is what life really looks like between the palms and plumeria.

If you’ve ever wondered what “autumn in paradise” is like — this video will take you there.
