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.

Planning dates
Check one visit day at a time. Release dates use booking windows from active records with a review date on file within the last 45 days. Confirm release times, eligibility, current access and available tickets with the operator.
Choose a date for release-day calculations. A calculated date does not mean tickets are available or a destination is open.
Review dates are metadata in our records; later notices may be newer. Check the operator before travel.
This is a selected set of stored reservation records, not every stop. Detailed rules and calculations are withheld after 45 days or when undated. Release dates are also withheld when current access needs review. No booking is made here.
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 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.
