If you are visiting Honolulu for the first time it would be ideal to visit the city from April to June. This is when the surf season ends and there are not many tourists allowing you to get the best hotel rates. Also, you can do plenty of outdoor activities and explore local attractions. June to August months bring more tourists because of the sunny weather. September to December is when the temperature drops and this is ideal for budget travellers to find the best hotel deals. January to March brings plenty of surfers for various competitions and events and that increases the accommodation costs.
