General Info

Welcome to the island of Oahu! Home of Hawaii's state capital, Honolulu, Oahu is the most populous of the Hawaiian islands with nearly 1 million residents, but it welcomes nearly 5 million tourists annually. 

When to go

If you want the best weather and don't mind higher prices, April & May will offer the best weather before summer crowds pick up.

Oahu experiences the most rain from October to March. Rainy season may sound like a downer, but rain is usually localized and brief, so you are still sure to be able to find sun by only crossing to another side of the island. Traveling in the rainy season is a great way to keep your budget low since both airfare and accommodations will generally be cheaper than summer months.

Hawaii is also prone to hurricanes, with most common occurrances in July, August, & September.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi! I'm Lucy, the type-A, overly organized, travel enthused person behind Getaway Goose. I'm everyone's favorite travel companion because I'm that friend. The one who plans a trip down to the minute. The one who has thought of everything, packed everything, and wants to do everything. As my dad put it so eloquently in his Father of the Bride speech, "if you want to have a good vacation, just have Lucy go there first." I specialize in incredibly detailed travel itineraries that ensure you get the most bang for your buck and most experiences for your travel time on every single trip. You can expect detailed timings along with any and all pre-trip arrangement information to guarantee every second of your trip is spent in vacation-mode not the black hole of "what do we do?", "where do we eat?", and "when should we go?" My husband is my most frequent travel companion, but I am no stranger to planning trips for large groups of people, and all of my plans could also be modified for solo or family travel with children. I hope you'll count me as your newest travel buddy and enjoy all the adventures I have to share!
