I visited last April and it was perfect. It didn’t rain the entire week, sunny and 80’s everyday, and wasn’t very crowded.
My wife and I went to Kauai in December 2019. We LOVED it! It rained some, but not bad. It was mostly cloudy so we never got burnt. I can't wait to go back!!!
This is exactly what every tourist planning a trip NEEDS to know!!! A data driven approach at getting the best value and time for your Maui vacation. You may consider making more periodic updates with new data. Thanks!
Totally! It is interesting to see the 2020 data as it is so shocking of a drop - 99.7% less people than 2019. Weather is a changing, like hurricane season, so we are looking forward to sharing more trends in 2021.
I was stationed at KMCAS from Jul 1981--Nov 1983. There is no worst day to be in Hawaii. A bad day in paradise is better than the best day everywhere else
Lol tell that to the thousands of homeless there
This is such a GREAT travel guide! Y’all did the research and everything, so awesome!
Thanks so much.
I visited in October and temps were in the low 80s Kauai. Perfect!
Wow! I wish I could visit Hawaii! Thanks for the info.God bless ur family.
I agree, October is best. Especially when you travel with points and want upgrades at hotels with a family. My only complaint is that it gets dark early, which is not necessarily a bad thing when you adjust to the time change. We’re usually up very early in Hawaii.
You two are awesome! Thank you for all the detailed information!
Wow, that’s awesome! I just booked a trip to the North Shore of Oahu the last week in October. Looks like I picked a good time!
Thanks for sharing. I'm shaping my novel story so this is why I'm here to research. This is big help for me.
Yay! We just booked our trip for October! Our first time in Maui! So excited! Thanks for sharing 🌺
Where did you book? Been holding out for the flight that gets us there at 1pm instead of 6pm
Yes we go to Maui in October also. Its a great month to go. You MUST take a helicopter tour. If you don't you won't really see Maui. Incredible views especially the waterfalls,
Good to know! I was actually planning to go in September 2020 but that didn't happen. I'll keep October in mind
❤ thank you for the guide! Hawaii is a wonderful place to travel. We enjoyed our trip and cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
I agree that October is a great time to visit for all the reasons you stated. I took my mom in 2019 to Kaanapali Beach area for her 85th BD! We were able to get an ocean view room, tickets to the Old Lahaina Luau and sunset dinner sail with ease! A trip we will always cherish! A special treat was that there was a full moon over the ocean and reflecting on the water almost the entire time we were there! An experience dreams are made of! 🌴🌊🌺
That truly sounds like a very special bday trip! What a great idea and that full moon sounds magical.
Did u book a package through a travel agent?
@@giiggzlo7227 I booked a trip deal offered by Costco which included the hotel, car and flights. I booked the activities myself by contacting the venues directly. Depending on the time of year you go, it is recommended to make reservations for activities as early as possible.
I lived on Kauai and Oahu for over 4 years. Just go when you get a discount... Weather is great generally all year and the temperature only flexes like 10 degrees F.
We went to the North Shore of Oahu and Maui last 2 weeks of September and first week of October. It was beautiful and sunny 87 and sunny every day. No rain. Best 3 weeks
😊 thanks
So helpful!!! Thank you so much!
Sounds great still waiting for the quarantine to be over soon I hope!
RUclips just suggested this video... I love your channel guys! 🌸🤙🏼
Growing up I was fortunate enough to spend 2 beautiful weeks in Kahana, Maui for spring break every year. While it might be a busier time with families vacationing, I always enjoyed it! Great mild weather and tons of opportunities to whale watch! As an adult I’ve also been lucky enough to visit other islands and at different times. Aside from March I would say June and October are also some of my favorite months, for weather and affordability. Though anytime spent in Hawaii is a great time!
Thanks for sharing! The spring shoulder season is a nice time to visit. It really is splitting hairs when it comes to visiting Hawaii, any month in the tropics is worth a visit.
I’m going to Hawaii in September 12 2021. I’m so excited 😆
Had to cancel our March 2020 trip and looking forward to putting this state back on our list.
As of Jan 2021 get a neg test and your are free to visit islands without restriction. Neighbor left yesterday under those conditions.
September and October have always been the best times to come from a weather and price perspective. I’m a born and raised Hawaiian from Kauai. Kauai use to have a location referred to in statistics as the wettest spot in the world. I remember it was around 600 inches a year. I tuned in to see is anything had changed with climate change. The worst time did change. This use to be April/May when it would pour. Kauai tends to have an hour or two of rain every day. It is light rain. Beat to relax. Enjoy! Aloha.
Hey , what about mid November?
Hi Jordan, I especially love the Sailing Plumber! Definitely taking your advice, cheers!
My husband and I are being transferred to Pearl Harbor next year, this is super helpful to get to know what weather will look like through the year! Thank you!!
Have a safe move to O'ahu! Enjoy the islands and learn about the culture while you are there. Shoal of Time by Gavin Dawes is a good history book on the islands.
We only have time off the end of December so all three of our trips to Kauai/Maui/Hawaii were Dec 15-31. AND we still loved it and had a fantastic time. But, yes, the condos and flights were $$$. Crowds were OK and we hit the beaches early to get parking. We have more flexibility with our jobs now and are planning next trip for early summer. 😎
Did you have troubles with rain at all? I'm going there tomorrow and it's showing 80% of rain the whole week 🥲
I go in May. Low rainfall. Beginning of the dry season.
October is awesome in Hawaii, but whale watching is my favorite time there!! March!
Unless you’re into wind sports, the summer months generate constant trade wind for north shore and also lots for south shore. Especially on Maui, this is a very unexpected thing for visitors not coming specifically for wind sports. While trade winds blow year round, they are strongest in summer.
I'm sooooooo glad I found your channel my 50th is next yr in October & I'm hoping the world calms down so I can come there
thank you for this video see y'all in Feb. 2022
I am going to Maui for 2023 spring break!!! Although it’s in 8 months my family felt that it’s better the be safe than sorry and to start making early reservations. Like for Mama’s Fish House you have to reserve at least 6 months prior to get window seating 😯
I went in July and it was awesome not so busy and not so much rain.
Nice vid!
We always visit in early May. The weather is mild and crowds are always low as it's just before the travel season starts. Oct. sounds great though and we'll keep that in mind for the future.
Thanks for the advice 😊
Lived in Hawaii for a few years. It’s a matter of perspective for December. Remember my parents visiting during the end of December and it was chilly for me but my parents were getting killed by the humidity.
Thumbs up! Great information for first time visitors! thank you guys!
Thanks for the thumbs up!
I absolutely agree. I have been there in October. May is also a good month to go.
Yeah I’m going on a Hawaiian cruise from Long Beach this October thanks for the info
Yayyy !! We are booked in November 5-13th to visit Maui
Congrats! Have a great trip. You can share how the pre-testing goes with us.
We always told our friends to come visit us during Sept-Mid Nov and also Mid Jan - Early May. Don't go during the holidays and summer. Although, we honestly had 32 guests in our 4 years living there, and they all came at different times, so over 4 years we probably did have someone come for each month and always had a fantastic trip. But that's also being able to come stay with your friends for free lol.... And not need rental cars! I also don't mean that for 4 years we had a visitor for every single month of all those years... Just maybe 1 year we'd have some during 3 or 4 months, and then the next year during different months. I would agree that Oct is great!
They’re right. October has no major holidays that people would travel for (people don’t travel for Halloween), kids are in school and parents have already blown their vacation days in the summer. You go during winter months and the place is packed with people escaping snow. Summer months are a hot ass mess.
My birthday month thank goodness 🎉
We went to Oahu in December twice. Both gorgeous. Their idea of rain is a quick shower gorgeous again. Going again to Maui this time. We’ll see how it goes
exactly! A quick shower with a rainbow at the end. See you soon!
Thank you so much for this. I'm planning a Hawaii vacation for 2022. October it is!!
have a great trip! Check out our website for more details to help with your planning: thehawaiivacationguide.com/
Your baby is adorable ty for all the info also
Thank you for this!! We were supposed to go to Maui in September 2020 but due to COVID we decided to cancel. We rescheduled for April 2021 and also cancelled because although we live in Western NY, we fly out of Toronto (the exchange rate makes the flights so much cheaper) and the border is still closed. We are now regrouping and researching the beginning of October or Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving on Kauai a few years ago and it was amazing. The problem we are having is finding quality accommodations during Thanksgiving that don’t break the bank. Lol I’m enjoying your channel-thank you!
If you have Still have sights/hearts set on Maui vacation, suggest checking out reservations for August/September, Or Maybe checkout reservations for 7-day interisland cruise...4-ports-of-call, 3 islands + 3 days....
I’m going Saturday via Norwegian Cruise Line! Forecast is showing high 60’s all 7 days! My kinda weather! 😊
Coincidentally i just booked our first Hawaiian trip for this October!!! So excited 🥲😆 cant wait to see maui!
have a great trip in October! good choice!
Well if you couldn't wait wouldn't that mean you didn't go? Did you go? Did you have to quarantine?
vacation planned for April 2021. maui. first time visit. i am so happy your page!
We are excited for you! You may even still have some whales here in April.
Just got back a couple days ago January 18 2022. Beautiful weather, sunny and 80 degrees every day. Amazing sunsets every night but sadly the sun sets at 615pm.
I’m from Oahu, born and raised I actually enjoy the rainy days . I also like going on back home in October . Btw I love data science approach to traveling to Hawaii
yeah, rainy days are relaxing. makes the tropics feel like the tropics.
Thank you so much!💜🌺
Thanks guys!
Great video. I agree with you, October is a good time to come for the advantages you mentioned. And yes last 2 weeks of December are so much fun but so crowded and expensive! I am enjoying your videos. Will connect soon (sorry I dropped the ball on that).
We look forward to it! And I'm terrible about checking messages but I'll get better :)
Go in December. Christmas is great in Hawaii. And new years fireworks celebration is the best.
My birthday is in October and that is when I plan to go ❤️
I’m going to Kauai thanksgiving week this year :) would love some recs on what to do to enjoy the thanksgiving holiday!
Husband and I always go to Maui in October!! 😁😁😁
No kidssssss!! lol
And so quiet and cheap! 🙌
Poor kids
You guys have such a great vibe. I’m going to visit Hawaii this year for the first time, and I plan to watch your videos. Thank you.
Just spent $80/night on Ai'i rd in April. Was great.
Winter is the best time. Best sunsets great surf.
New friend here.thank you for sharing Hawaii beautiful place
feel like anytime is a good time in hawaii
So much smilling in the video made my day! 😇
you guys seem like such nice people!! going to oahu next week🤙🏼
Have a great trip! Love that island
Such a good vid. We’re coming in Thanksgiving because that’s the only time our family of 4 have the availability. Outstanding information. Thank you
have a wonderful Thanksgiving trip. My family came out for Thanksgiving in 2019!
GREAT video!! We were planning a trip to Hawaii in May next year. It'll be my parents 40th wedding anniversary.. It'll be my wife and I, my parent's and some of her family. How would you rate May overall for snorkeling, hiking and other activities? You have a new subscriber too! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍
We always travel end of Sept to mid October. You are so right about travel in October! It is the best time to visit Hawaii. Although, we just booked a trip to the big island in late April. I have never traveled in April and never been to the big island so hoping for the best! We are celebrating my dad's 90th birthday! If you have any tips, please share! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the island. It's appreciated 🙏
Congrats on booking a trip for your dad's 90th. The Big Island will be an adventure for the whole family. April has great weather but watch the surf advisories as there can still be big waves in April. Check out our 1-day in Hilo itinerary because Hilo has a lot to offer but it is best to stay on the leeward side of the island. thehawaiivacationguide.com/what-can-you-do-in-hilo-for-the-day/. Check out our Around the Big Island video if you haven't yet, it shows our favorite places to visit. Have a great trip and thanks for watching!
I'm planning a trip in October so I'm super excited
Have a great trip!
Yay for October being the best month to come because I was going to come anyway😌
Subscribed!!! ❤️
I only want to got to Hawaii when the weather is bad in Seattle. May through September is totally out for my family. Late October it is. Thanks for the great advice.
wooohoooo look at that! october is my anniversary and the best month!! i think thats a sign
Thanks so much. I am planning our first trip for next year to renew our vows.
have a wonderful trip and enjoying the planning. Congrats on the vow renewal
We had to cancel our Springbreak trip, but we re-booked for Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed we can go!!! :)
Great video, my wife and I loved October, the Maui Fair, Upcountry was beautiful and I feel like the Road to Hana was less crowded.
Doing the road to Hana when it's less crowded is a huge plus! And we love Thanksgiving time out here too - I hope it works out!
The best time for me is during the winter, cooler and big winter swells 🏄🏽♂️
Hi guys, I love your videos. They’re so informative and just your overall demeanor is so friendly, inviting and pleasant; it makes your videos so enjoyable to watch. I’m planning on returning to Hawaii next year (‘22) and have decided to visit a resort in Ka’anapali thanks to your recommendation, but something I’ve been wondering about but have not been able to get a straight answer to is: are there any all-inclusive resorts ANYWHERE in Hawaii? And if not, why? Paying for every single meal during your stay can get pricey. And do you have any tips for managing your meals while vacationing in Hawaii? Thank you.
Aloha Linden, thanks for watching! The closest thing to all-inclusive is the Sensei on Lana'i, by Four Seasons. There are no all-inclusives in Hawaii because it is a safe place to travel and resorts want you to leave and explore. We get food at grocery stores like Foodland, pack lunch for the beach, and go to a lot of local places. Food trucks are the best way to eat on the islands. Have a wonderful trip in 2022, and thanks for the lovely comment!
We picked Maui in late September 2021 because of you guys. Thanks. Great price for flight and lodging.
great to hear! congrats on the good deals
How was the weather in September?
Yes, we are lucky that we booked our Maui vacation in October. Thanks for the info. 😊
well done! have a great trip!
Going to Waikiki Hawaii in may 11th. So excited!
i’m going may 6! :)
We’re going on May 11 Kauai
We're actually going in February. On valentines to be exact. Super excited. We also went last February before covid really blew up. So excited to be going back.
we're going next month as well! the week after Valentine's. what was your overall experience last time you went in February?
@@letters7777 since nobody was really concerned about covid at the time it was pretty packed. But its so beautiful it wasn't really a problem in any way. Lots of people walking in the streets was the only time I noticed how packed it was. But the weather was nice. You'll love it. 💘 maybe after the trip if I remember I can come and update how it is now.
that’s nice, we’re planning on going after vday as well. Was there too much rain when you went?
May is my favorite month.
We booked for second half of December 😂 It’s impossible to plan cheap travel with kids in school, I found peace with the cost I just hope the weather will be ok! ♥️
Ha! Truthfully, there is no bad time to go. It's just the most expensive (though maybe not this year!). And the good news is the weather will likely be better than wherever you're coming from :)
Love the channel, always great info!! We've been to Maui several times in January and just now in August for the first time, we have always stayed in Kihei. We love to snorkel and bodyboard, and understand the effect of the north swell in January, and just learned about the south swell (snorkeling is south Maui was a bust). We would like to come back in October 2022. My question is which part of Maui would you stay if snorkeling and body boarding were your go to activities? Thanks very much!
I’d recommend northwest Maui. DT Fleming Beach is great for body boarding. Napili and kapalua and honalua are all favorite snorkel spots.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Thanks very much!!
Terrific advice, and kudos for supplying graphics to support your recommendations.
We're big fans of Maui in February since the whales are just everywhere and it offers the biggest contrast in weather compared to where we're escaping from (ditching the heart of Chicago winter in favor of a Wailea beach is the best kind of culture shock.) All of your arguments against December seem reasonable... but we're still hoping to see Christmas in Hawaii sometime in the next few years. The very valid negative aspects will hopefully be outweighed by the positives.
We were a little harsh on late December. Christmas is special in Hawaii. Watch this video on Christmas in Hawaii! ruclips.net/video/CLB3S7UFQ1M/видео.html
Def go in dec you won’t regret it
Thank you.
We are so excited to go! We are still ironing out the details but we will there in September!
have a great trip! book early as it is busy this summer and early fall.
I really enjoyed your video guys; it was very informative. My husband and I will be in Oahu from 3/12 - 3/18 this year, my brother and sister-in-law will join un on her birthday 3/14, on 3/18 we will fly to Maui and my sister will fly in on that day and meet us at OGG, we'll fly home to Texas on 3/25. It's actually a blessing that we get to spend all that time on the 2 islands, my husband cleans 3 vacation homes for a doctor and her husband, and they asked us in July if we wanted to stay at their time share properties in Hawaii (Marriott's), you can imagine our excitement! so our accommodations are paid for, we just have to fork out for food, car rental, flight, etc..... I still can't believe we're going to Hawaii! I wanted to share that with you.
Have a wonderful time! Lodging is the biggest cost so enjoy the ride! Checkout House Without a Key at the Halekulani for happy hour and live music and hula for her birthday.
Thanks for info. What the best time for rent a sailboat for a trip on Hawaiian islands(except December)?
hi! planning a trip for a birthday! would you recommend the last week of march? or beginning/middle of april for sunny days and no rain
Omggg my parents won a contest and won a trip to Hawaii in October for a week I’m so excited
Niceeeee I hope there’s no cough cough around that time
I came last Nov. The day after Thanksgiving!! It was amazing. Covid was in full swing. I loved it. I stayed at the beachcomber. It was empty. I fill like I had the place to myself!! Coming back this year. Not looking forward to the crowds!!
Aloha and thank you for your amazing videos - I love watching them! I was in Maui 2 years ago to celebrate my 50th birthday and it was THE best holiday of my life. I can’t wait to come back! I’m hoping to come in September/October this year and was wondering if there is an area that would be best for me? I’m coming alone and probably won’t be hiring a car due to getting lost in my own back yard so where would you advise me to stay? I’m looking for luxury and relaxation but with accessibility to great restaurants and shopping. I don’t know if the time of year plays a part in the area too. Mahalo!
Depends. Wailea is nicer, but Ka'anapali if you are more social.
I'm going end of Oct to mid Nov. Got $500 return flights from Australia! Still trying to figure out where to stay, what to do. Your vids are very helpful xx
Glad to help! Finding a place is the hardest decision but also, hard to go wrong.
Dude that hot pink so wrinkled t-shirt is so not right. However, your info is right on!!! We have been visiting for 50 years, WOW...never never go at Christmas.
I love Christmas in Hawaii.staying with my ohana.for a month and helping out at their restaurant
That sounds like a wonderful Christmas for your ohana. We bash Christmas a little too much so we made this video: ruclips.net/video/CLB3S7UFQ1M/видео.html
I was born and raised in Hawai’i, so I’ll visit Hawai’i any month, any time of the year, because, it’s ultimately “home” for me. Doesn’t matter.
I'm going on Thanksgiving day which happens to be my bday ❤ thanks for the info 🙂
Have a great birthday and Hawaii vacation!
I've been watching your videos nonstop for the last 2 hours haha thanks for the great content and congrats on your beautiful family. I am planning a 1-week trip to Oahu in mid-Feb (the first time in Hawaii), but I am surprised to see that it's the month with the fewest visitors by far. Why is that? My friends and I can't push back the trip for too long due to our working schedules, but March is doable. Does it make that much of a difference? Beach weather is very important for us... I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I've been living in Ohio for the last 2 years. Can't wait to enjoy the beach again, but I want to make it right! Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
The weather can be great in February! You always have a chance of rain in the winter, but it's still mostly great beach days. We love the north shore of Oahu but in the winter the weather can be less predictable, so stay on the leeward or south side (waikiki, Honolulu, ko olina). I'm not sure why arrivals is lower in February...maybe it's the lull after the holidays and before spring break?
Also, stay tuned because we're going to have some Oahu videos coming out in a few weeks. That should help!
