Hawaii is not really a place that experiences spring like other parts of the United States. In fact, it only experiences two seasons - Summer and Winter. This, however, does not make it a less appealing spring destination. After the wettest period of the year (which lasts from November to March), the forests in the state become denser and greener while the streams and waterfalls flow more powerfully. This makes the islands in the state feel more alive and beautiful. One would agree that these are the effects of spring. So Hawaii does experience spring, and these destinations in the state are where to witness the natural scenery that the season brings.
10 Church Row Waimea, The Big Island
Church Row Waimea may not be an attraction that people yearn to visit year-round, but it is definitely one of the most popular attractions to visit in spring. During spring, the cherry trees in the park blossom beautifully, creating the kind of spring scenery that can only be seen in places like Japan. This unique occurrence is short-lived and can only be seen in the park from early February to early March.
Cherry blossom can be seen in just a handful of places in Hawaii and this makes Church Row Park feel unique to visit. A yearly Waimea Cherry Blossom Festival is even held in this park to celebrate the cherry blossom, and it’s one event worth adding to your bucket list.
