Question

Answer 1

Any time is a good time in Hawaii, The trade winds usually keep the weather bearable and the temperature changes very little with the seasons. I have been there for the Christmas holidays and stayed through to the middle of Jan. it was great after the holiday crowds had moved on. Have fun. As far as whats to do. Check this out,

The cool thing about Oahu is that there is everything to do. You can go to Waikiki and take a catamaran booze Cruise for $10.00 all you can drink. Just walking the strip at Waikiki at night is fun with all the street performers and people watching. Good shopping. Great surfing and diving all over the island. Sea Plane and glider flights at reasonable prices. Hit the north shore and the Haleiwa area and see some of the best waves in the world. And if it’s flat the fishing and snorkeling is spectacular. There are water falls, parks, concerts, and an amazing area of Strip clubs. (Not to my taste but available). Try Dukes for cocktails at Waikiki on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful people watching. Go to the Hawaii Yacht club on Friday night and ask for a ride on one of the big sailboats for the beer can races. Right after the races there are Fireworks on the point at the Sheraton. Have Lunch at tropical licks. It’s a cart by the Chart House that serves some the best tacos in the world. Tell Jim that Randy said Hi. The list goes on and on. Absolutely one of the best vacations in the world. I am envious. It will be awhile before I get back there.

PS there is a great old restaurant on Sand Island. La Mariana. It is this Great Tiki bar and it might be the last Real Tiki bar in the Islands. Sand Island is kind of Isolated and La Mariana serves a small Yacht club there. The Place is all Bamboo and blown up Puffer fish. Gorgeous waitresses and the old Lady that owns the place comes down, holds court and greets her guests. The food is just spectacular. With thick and hot Juicy steaks, Ice cold beer and great cocktails. There is a small piano bar and I swear that the same guy has been playing that piano for thirty years. The place was built at the beginning of WW2 and really hasn't changed that much. The old Bamboo has a kind of inner glow that only comes with age and care. It’s really great. Most tourists never find it because it’s off the beaten track. Check it out. You won't regret it and the price is right.

Answer 2

January may not be the cheapest or quietest but it is a great time to go! Whales are in so you can whale watching. Temp should be in the high 70s and low 80s. Water will be in the 70s.

I recommend the link below for well written guidebooks that cover Oahu or Maui. Very candid, honest and well liked by those who used them.

Answer 3

Any time is a good time to go to Oahu!!!! i prefer the month of May (kids are still in school). Been there four times in early May, once in April and once this past Sept.

Answer 4

I've been to Hawaii twice during the a week before labor day. I figure kids are getting ready to go back to school meaning les speople are traveling during that time. The weather is nice there year round so go when the kids are in school. It is cheaper and less crowd.

Answer 5
