WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

If you are looking for a perfect time to travel to Hawaii, consider visiting during the ‘shoulder seasons’ of early April, May, September, and early October. During these months, you can enjoy excellent weather, affordable accommodation, and fewer crowds. However, if you plan to visit during mid-November through late March, expect trade winds that bring extra moisture, resulting in some heavier rain systems. Also, Hawaii has some hurricane risk in July, August, and September. If you want to visit the popular Lanikai Beach, it's best to arrive early, maybe even before 8 am to avoid crowds. However, if you are not an early riser, try to avoid visiting during holidays and weekends.
