Best Times to Visit Honolulu - Oahu
The best time to visit Honolulu is from September to November, when temperatures, hotel rates, and airline prices are mild. Honolulu's temperatures don't climb higher than the low 80s during the winter (the island's peak tourist—and sufing—season). If you don't mind a little humidity, you can probably find a pretty good deal sometime between May and August.
