Booking Tips
When to Book
Peak season runs December through March and again in June through August. Book 3–6 months ahead for the best rates during these windows. Shoulder months (April–May, September–November) offer the steepest discounts — often 30–40% off peak pricing.
Resort Fees
Most Hawaii hotels charge a daily resort fee ($25–$50+) on top of the nightly rate. These fees typically cover Wi-Fi, pool access, parking discounts, and cultural activities. Always factor them into your budget when comparing properties.
Location Matters
Beachfront comes at a premium. Properties a short walk or drive from the beach often cost less, though the difference varies substantially by property and travel date. On the Big Island, Kohala Coast resorts cluster along the sunny west side, while Hilo hotels are generally more affordable but rainier. On Maui, Wailea and Ka'anapali tend to cost more; Kihei offers solid mid-range alternatives.
Car Rental Pairing
Most visitors need a rental car on every island except Waikiki. Book your car early — inventory gets tight in peak season. We recommend Discount Hawaii Car Rental for the best local rates.
Showers are ending Saturday, with trade winds picking up through the weekend. A high surf advisory covers north and northwest-facing shores until 6 PM today. A medium swell arrives late Saturday into Sunday and could bring surf back to advisory levels early Sunday morning. Rough seas and choppy conditions will persist through Sunday, so hold off on water sports and exposed beaches. Saturday afternoon onward is best for outdoor activities once showers clear and the swell eases.

Showers are heavy this morning on Maui's windward side and mountains—some spots picked up 2 to 5 inches overnight. Expect rain to continue through Saturday morning, then gradually clear out.
Trade winds are strengthening through the weekend with rough seas in all channels. A High Surf Advisory is in effect until 6 PM today on north and west-facing shores—conditions are dangerous right now. Surf should ease below warning levels by evening, but a medium swell arrives late Saturday into Sunday and could push surf back to advisory levels early Sunday. A tropical disturbance tracking far south of the islands will keep trade winds elevated through early next week but won't bring rain to Maui.
Wait until Saturday afternoon to plan your beach time and water activities—that's when showers end and conditions start to settle.

Rain continues through Saturday morning, especially on mountains and windward exposures, then gradually clears. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon on the windward side if clouds break midday.
North and northwest-facing shores have dangerous high surf today under advisory until 6 PM—it eases by evening but a medium swell arrives late Saturday into Sunday, potentially bringing advisory-level conditions again early Sunday. Trade winds stay gusty through the weekend with rough seas and choppy conditions in the channels. Better conditions arrive Saturday afternoon and hold through Wednesday.
Plan water activities for Saturday afternoon onward once the rain clears and surf settles. Avoid water sports and exposed beaches through Sunday.

Showers are moving through this morning, with heavier rain on windward Big Island and Maui through Saturday morning. Trade winds are strong across the islands through the weekend, and a high surf advisory is in effect until 6 PM today on north and northwest facing shores—dangerous conditions if you're planning to get in the water. By Saturday afternoon, showers taper off and conditions settle into typical dry trade wind weather, though a medium swell could bring surf back to advisory levels early Sunday morning. Beach time is best Saturday afternoon onward; avoid water sports and exposed shores through Sunday due to high surf and rough seas.
