Hawaii occupies a unique position in the travel landscape: it's a US state, but it looks and feels nothing like the mainland. Each island has a distinct character. Oahu is the most visited and the most developed, taking in Waikiki, Diamond Head and Pearl Harbour. Maui is the honeymoon island, with the Hana Highway and Haleakala volcano. The Big Island has active lava flows and snow-capped Mauna Kea. Kauai is the most remote and arguably the most beautiful.
The outdoor offering is exceptional: surfing, snorkelling, hiking through dramatic volcanic terrain, and whale watching from December through April.
February to March and October to November are the prime window for Hawaii, balancing good weather, fewer crowds and competitive fares. The Window Score peaks at 86/100 in November.
February is typically the cheapest month to fly to Hawaii, with return fares averaging around A$1,288, about 17% below the yearly average.
