Question

Getting there ...

Answer

Hawai'i does not observe daylight saving time and follows Hawai'i Standard Time (HST). As a result, depending on your departure city, Hawai'i time is three to five hours behind Mainland time. When booking your flight, select Honolulu (HNL) as your destination. It is located on the beautiful island of O'ahu. Keep in mind that, typically, your journey back home will see you arriving at your final destination one day later. For instance, if you schedule your return flight to the Mainland for Saturday, you can expect to reach your home city by Sunday. This time difference is important to plan for as you finalize your travel arrangements.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! There are several options we can recommend for hotels. Please see the Travel & Accommodations section for a full list. *An important note regarding AirBnB/VRBOs in Hawai'i: Short-term rentals (STRs) are allowed to operate in Hawai'i with a minimum booking time of 30 days; however, you can rent STRs for a week, depending on local zoning regulations. On O'ahu, you can rent legally permitted STRs for a week in resort-zoned areas like Waikiki, Ko'Olina, and Turtle Bay Resort. Check if the property in one of these resort-zoned areas is legally permitted before booking.

Question

What can I expect the weather to be in Hawai'i in September?

Answer

September makes an excellent month to visit the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i. The weather in September offers pleasant temperatures between 73 and 89 degrees Fahrenheit. Trade winds from the northeast somewhat calm the high humidity. The rainy season doesn't begin until November, so September rain tends to be mild-to-moderate. The warm and inviting weather is perfect for outdoor tours and activities!
