Estimate details ＋
Seven days; one room per two travelers, rounded up. Mixed dining; one shared rental car; fuel for 20 miles/day at 24 mpg. Estimated lodging tax covers the room and mandatory resort-fee allowance; parking taxes may be extra. Resort and parking fees are planning allowances. Lodging seasonality comes from published hotel history when available; car seasonality uses editorial benchmarks.
January–March is the usual peak. NOAA describes November–April generally, and November–May in its boating guidance. May is a season edge; limited encounters are possible outside the season. These are calendar categories, not live sightings or probabilities.

Island visitors can visit more than one island. Island arrivals should not be added into a statewide total.
September 2026 storm context: DBEDT reports severe Hurricane Lowell disruption on Kauaʻi. Lower visitor numbers do not mean an ideal or safe time to visit. Check current travel alerts and access.
Historical island-level averages, not live crowds, predictions for a beach or trail, or evidence of current safety or access. These historical observations are not a forecast for your travel dates.

Values are shown as whole visitors; year-over-year changes follow DBEDT’s published percentages. P means preliminary. Use the reporting year and data-status labels when comparing months.
Median sampled base price per vehicle/day; excludes taxes, fuel, insurance and add-ons. Seven-day Thanksgiving-week rental, searched 30 days ahead; no availability guarantee. The trip scenario uses midsize samples adjusted by editorial month factors, not this economy sample. Other vehicle-class tables in the full calculator retain their own update date.
Selected records from HawaiiGuide’s fees database; not a complete checklist or clearance to visit. Check official notices and current booking totals. Stored records may predate current conditions.
Where these numbers come fromSource dates, estimates and what’s still missing＋
Each metric keeps its own date and scope. A recent site build does not make an older observation current. Planning estimates are illustrative scenarios; published averages describe a market, not an available booking.
Missing or invalid values remain unavailable. No island gas history, live rental inventory, or island-wide weather average is inferred.
Showers and isolated thunderstorms may move in overnight into Sunday morning—timing and intensity over Oʻahu are uncertain, with some forecasts showing heavy rain and others keeping it south. Sunday through Monday, strong northeast winds push across the islands and ocean conditions turn rough. North- and west-facing beaches will see dangerously high surf over 10 feet on exposed coasts; stay out of the water. Boats should expect choppy seas and strong winds through Monday evening, when conditions begin to ease. By midweek, trade winds settle in and the air dries out—windward slopes still catch occasional showers, but leeward areas clear. Plan water activities for after Monday. Sunday and Monday, secure loose items and use caution while driving.

Heavy rain is moving across Kauai and Niihau right now and may reach Oahu overnight into Sunday morning. Maui will stay dry today, though the air remains muggy.
Sunday through Monday, strong northeast winds will push across the islands and bring dangerously high surf over 10 feet on north- and west-facing exposed coasts. Stay out of the water. By Monday evening conditions start to ease. Midweek brings drier trade winds and relief from the humidity. Windward slopes will still see occasional showers, but leeward areas will be drier. A tropical system is being watched for next weekend, but it's far away and uncertain.
If you're planning beach time through Monday, stick to leeward shores where conditions will be calmer.
