The Best Times to Visit Hawaii-December 2024
Dec 28, 2024 3:21 PM

With year-round highs in the 80s and average lows rarely dipping below 65 degrees, there’s really no bad time of year to visit Hawaii — but depending on why you’re visiting, some times can be better than others.

When is the best time to visit Hawaii? The answer depends on your travel budget, preferred activities, and when you and your family or travel companions can find time to get away.

Here is the best time of the year to visit Hawaii, no matter what kind of traveler you are.

For the frugal traveler

If you want to save money on a Hawaiian vacation, avoid going when kids are on break from school, especially during the winter holidays. In general, the cheapest time to visit Hawaii is when school’s in session.

The “shoulder months” of April, May, September and October are especially affordable, with round-trip flights from the West Coast sometimes dipping below $350 and round trips from the East Coast starting under $525 for flights with connections. Nonstops to Honolulu occasionally dip under $620 for East Coast travelers.

What if you’re paying with points or miles? One-way award flights, including from the East Coast, can sometimes be found for as little as:

20,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles.

22,500 United MileagePlus miles.

17,000 Delta SkyMiles.

18,815 Southwest Rapid Rewards points.

30,000 Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles.

Those same flights during peak travel times can cost quadruple those award rates, for example, 130,000 HawaiianMiles or 90,000 AAdvantage miles.

Hotel prices are lower in these shoulder months, too. For example, a basic room at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa on the Big Island can skyrocket to over $930 per night during the peak winter travel season, but that same room might go for just $443 in October.
