Hawaii 🏄 in $240s-$360s RT

Premium Deal Alert: 21 May 2025

As fun as a jet-setting summer can be, pro travelers know to embrace the shoulder, that precious middle ground between peak tourist months and the off-season.

In Hawaii, that's September-November. These dates get you the best of both worlds: cheap hotels, warm weather (but not too warm!), and wayyyyy fewer visitors crowding up the beaches. If you're lucky, you can even catch the beginning of whale watching season.

Oh, and here's a tip for the surfers among you—Later dates mean bigger waves :-)
