Waikiki and Honolulu Beaches in Hawai. Hawaii tourism flourishes because the state is graced with beautiful beaches and natural landscape as well as year-round warm weather. The best time to visit Hawaii can be decided by the most affordable time to visit or simply by when your holiday times are. Hawaii tours operate throughout the year. There are numerous places around all the islands that feature excellent snorkeling, swimming and scuba diving conditions in both winter and summer. Travel to Hawaii in both seasons has heavy Hawaii tourism peaks, exhibiting higher prices and more crowds.

The climate and weather in Hawaii are basically based on two different seasons, winter and summer. Winter spans from the middle of October through April where daytime temperatures are very comfortable, from mid-60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit or roughly 15 to 28 degrees Celsius. Hawaii tourism during the winter, whether you’re visiting the Big Island, Maui, Oahu or Kauai, will exhibit cooler temperatures at night, often dropping 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Bringing along a light jacket or sweater is wise if you’re planning on any Hawaii tours at night like a dinner cruise.

One big advantage of travel to Hawaii in the winter months is the surfing. Hawaii surfing competitions are most popular along the North Shore in Oahu. Along the North Shore some of the most impressive surfing conditions are enjoyed by thousands every year. Oahu surfing is world-famous, but Kauai surfing, Big Island surfing and surfing on Maui are also excellent along the northern shores during the winter months. Typically there’s more rainfall in the winter, especially in November and December. Oahu’s Waikiki Beach, Wailea, Makena and Kihei on Maui, Kohala and Kona on Big Island and the Poipu Beach area on Kauai are the driest, making them the best for winter travel to Hawaii.

The best time to visit Hawaii for many is the summer months. Summer begins in May and spans until the middle of October with temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit or roughly 30 degrees Celsius. Evenings also cool off, just like in winter, by about 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. There is some rainfall in the summer but it tends to burst in short spells. Summer is an excellent time of year for beach activities and Hawaii sailing trips or golfing. One of the best Hawaii travel tips for the summer is to avoid the months of June through August. Thousands of tourists travel to Hawaii with their kids during school holidays. Hawaii tourism runs rampant and rates are considerably higher.
