Whether you fancy diving deep into the sea, soaring over waterfalls on a helicopter tour

DON'T travel to Hawaii in the coursework of school holidays. Tourists crowd Hawaii's stunning beaches in summer and winter. In the coursework of school holidays, flight and hotel rates are off the charts -- between Christmas and New Years, condos and holiday rentals can run times as much as rates in early December.
 Say aloha to Hawaii's offseason
DO visit Hawaii in the off-season. Hands down the best values on visiting Hawaii can be present in May and October. With prices moderately low and the weather at its peak -- not hot, not rainy -- take advantage of the perks of off-season travel to jet off to the islands. Current spring and fall flight deals from the West Coast are half of July rates. Additionally, hotels and condos usually slash their prices off-season, rewarding visitors with oceanfront accommodations that usually sell out in peak months.


DON'T try to see everything. While each island has its own persona, it is expensive (and exhausting) to island-hop the whole archipelago on holiday. Inter-island flights usually run between $70-$140 each way and most travel to Oahu, so in the event you require to get from Kauai to the Giant Island, you might must cease in Honolulu and fundamentally pay the equivalent of inter-island flights each way.
DO stick to or islands. Each region on each island has its own flavor. The north and east sides of the islands are more tropical, while the south and west regions offer sunnier skies and a more arid landscape. In lieu of island hopping, break your trip up by staying in an opulent hotel within running distance of a sunny south shore beach and then cozy up in a rental house near the more tropical (read: rainy) north shore. In the event you require to island-hop on the cheap, Maui offers ferry service to Lanai and Molokai.
DON'T fall for the luau. Most luaus are overpriced and far from the actual thing (usually relatives events on a beach for a first birthday). While they appear like an authentic experience, you can actually piece together the highlights of a luau yourself. Grab a picnic of poke, lomi lomi, fresh pineapple, and poi from a local market. In the evenings at most malls on Kauai and Maui, and at sundown at Waikiki Beach, you can watch free hula shows featuring a number of Hawaii's best dancers.
DO splurge on an adventure. Whether you fancy diving deep in to the sea, soaring over waterfalls on a helicopter tour, or a kayak trip along the Na Pali Coast, treat yourself to at least adventure. Be sure to book early in your trip in case of bad weather.
