24 thoughts on “Why Timing Is Now Everything When Visiting Hawaii”

  1. Timing is crucial when planning a visit to Hawaii. With the ever-increasing tourism, it’s important to choose the right time to avoid overwhelming crowds. The worst times to visit are during school breaks on the mainland, but even then, there are better slots available. From January to spring break, and from late summer to mid-December, you can experience a more relaxed atmosphere. When it comes to costs, spring and fall of 2023 offer better deals, while peak summer and Christmas are the most expensive. Consider ocean conditions and surf preferences, as well as the unique weather patterns throughout the year.

  3. We just got back last week from spending a wonderful week in Hawaii big island. Stunningly beautiful, best sunsets over the ocean ever. Friendly atmosphere, great food, rustic and full of history. The coffee and jasmine aroma is unmatched like no others. From the salty ocean waves to the Lilikoi flavors and the Malasadas are delicious! If you are ever blessed to go , please do and just soak up the history and be respectful of the islands. Aloha

  4. This article seems right on even from what I remember living there from 1996 to 2014.
    Even better, I got to spend a week on Maui in Feb of 1975 as a 14 year old. It was literally, actually–heavenly!
    My big brother and bad influence immediately procured pakaholo from the a hotel worker at a hotel (which is still there by the way!).
    There was a hippie guy in a stand right on the beach (never today!) with one little blender and an extension cord that led out of sight selling fruit smoothies. He had a little radio playing Albert Hammonds “free electric band”, followed by I remember, Sugarloaf’s “Don’t call us (we’ll call you).” It was magical. Me and brother swan, played ping pong and hot tub at the Maui Kai, ika ‘aina kaulana o Maui nei

  5. My secret would be to keep it to myself as social media is destroying the islands as it once was. It has become a selfie check list for many, there are many who are abusing the footprint, there are many that only want to visit to check out restaurants, there are many that want to take their kids to the closest disneyland like experience. then there is me, who gave up my dream to live on the islands because I did not want Maui to go to hell in a hand basket, so promised my Island Gods that I would not contribute to the over growth, only to fast forward to now a travel mecca that is too expensive to enjoy now.

  6. We visited Hawaii in June and saw the Kamehameha parade. Waikiki beach was not crowded early in the morning. We had the beach practically to ourselves. It was hot but we are from Texas so we were use to it.

  7. Perhaps since it is every island spirituall unique you could take visitors on a lottery basis or a limited reservation w background checks making it more exclusive and pleasant, weeding out unwanteds.

  8. Just finished a 3 week stay on Kauai. Didn’t seem to be crowded, locals were friendly but food was expensive. But I’ll take 2 out of 3. A great time was had by all,
