Thanksgiving on Oahu

FAQ

What is the weather like in Oahu in November?

November on Oahu is warm and bright, with highs in the low- to mid-80s F (high-20s C), short passing showers and water still warm enough for swimming. The winter swell begins on the North Shore, while the sheltered lagoons at Ko Olina stay calm for families. Evenings are mild enough to dine outdoors throughout the holiday weekend.

Is there a Thanksgiving dinner at Four Seasons Resort Oahu?

Yes, Thanksgiving dinner is served at Mina’s Fish House, Noe and Mānalo Lounge, with menus built around the holiday classics and Hawaiian ingredients from across the islands. Mina’s offers a Thanksgiving tasting menu, while Manalo Lounge and Noe serve Thanksgiving specials. Tables are limited and the holiday week is one of the busiest of the year, so we recommend reserving well in advance through our Concierge.

The North Shore is also within reach for a day trip.
