Best Time to Visit
Oahu has great weather all year round and it is thus considered to be one of Hawaii's best islands. However, the winter from November until March can be more rainy, especially on the island's east coast, so this season can be considered as a less popular one with visitors. While the winter offers best chances for whale watching, the period between May and September is the warmest, and thus tourists' favorite. Do consider travelling in off-season periods, as prices will be lower and both sights and streets less crowded.
