Who'd actually believe that there is actually no better time than this summer to book a trip to Hawaii instead of spending the money on traveling the Mainland. Here is what Best Hawaii Vacation blog editors, Pua + Keoki, think why it is a good time to visit Hawaii this summer.
3 Reasons to Visit Hawaii this summer
1. Air fares to Hawaii are at bargain prices this summer
At least when we compare the fares to ticket prices to Hawaii in the past few years. The economic slowdown forces the Hawaii carriers to come up with unbelievable low RT fares to Hawaii for this summer. This applies to Interisland ticket prices too. Just remember that about 9 mos. ago a one-way Hawaii Interisland ticket was about $150, when one did not fly in the very early morning or late at night. Today, a round-trip ticket with IflyGo from Honolulu, Oahu to Kona, Big Island is $48! With those low Interisland rates, Hawaii island hopping has become very popular again. Most of our Hawaii visitors currently visit two Hawaiian islands on Hawaii vacation.
2. Hawaii Vacation Rental hosts consider your best offer
Why shouldn't they? It's all about bookings for their vacation homes in Hawaii. They have mortgages or monthly payments for their cars to pay, school tuition and more. Smart vacation rental owners will consider your offer. Advice from us: Be reasonable with your offer and consider what you already get for free - compared to a stay at a Hawaii hotel. Don't forget electricity costs for AC and hot water in Hawaii is one of the highest in the nation.
Be aware that Hawaii beach rental owners are used to charging high rates (and always got those in the past) and are not always willing to come down with their rates. Hawaii rentals within 10 - 15 min. drive to beaches are more willing to make special offers this summer. Mostly those rentals are at a higher elevation, which allows you a comfortable sleep in the cooler air esp. during summer vacation.

3. Hawaii Vacation Effect - Priceless!
Is it the beach, the endless ocean, the swaying palm trees, the Maitai or the pretty hula dancer which makes the Hawaii vacation one of the most relaxing and recuperating of vacation destinations around the world? Who knows! But ask anybody who visited Hawaii and can compare his Hawaii vacation with other destinations, in most cases, Hawaii vacation memories don't fade. On the contrary, Hawaii and Hawaii vacation memories become more vivid with the number of passing years and 'haunt' you till you go back to Hawaii. Visit Hawaii this summer and come back as a new 'You', ready to take on the world!

I agree. Now is the time if ever to visit Hawaii. Not only is the air fare good, but you can also get here using minimal frequent flyer miles.
Having accumulated enough miles for a trip to Hawaii is definitely another good reason to visit Hawaii this summer.
There are still good chances to get a flight with miles for the summer months. It might not be a direct flight into Kona, Big Island or Kahului, Maui but most important is to make it to Hawaii!
The best thing about Hawaii is that you can rest at the beach and snorkel and get away from the stress. Renting a condo with a kitchen also saves a lot of money because you can make your own meals....and go out to eat when you want to..
Getting away from the stress is a good reason for visiting Hawaii this summer. Where can you relax better than on a beach in Hawaii! Renting a golf course condo by the in Waikoloa with ocean views seems like a the perfect place to be in Hawaii.
If you are looking into visiting the Big Island, you should seriously consider checking out one of the most beautiful & yet unknown areas on the east side.
The islands of Hawaii are sacred, and beautiful in every aspect. To see past this fact is impossible... & to experience it first-hand is a gift in itself. You should seriously consider vacation rentals because they can you offer something that high-rise hotels will never be able to.
The Bali Cottage at Kehena Beach is a vacation home that sits right off the coast, almost directly across from the famous clothing-optional Kehena Beach. This cottage has a beautiful view of the sweeping coastline, and is steps away from the trail that leads you to the beach.
Kehena is located on the East Side of the Island, south of Hilo and near the historical Pahoa town.
This is definetely worth your time, check it out:

A hui hou kakou!!
Mahalo Bali Cottage for comment.
I must admit that beaches on the East Coast like wonderful Kehena beach are still hidden gems on the Big Island. Good for those visitors who know about it.
However, we noticed during the past few years that the sunny Kapoho area on the East Coast of the Big Island gets more and more the attention of Hawaii tourists it deserves.

Hi! I have never been to Hawaii but seems fantastic, I just watched an amazing youtube video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_epUmKGG3U Hope to be there soon!
I wonder who would say pass on such a vacation. If you have the financial resources, and the persons to go with, you have all you need for a perfect vacation.
thank you very helpful article, so I add insight. I always wait any posts from you
Even with air fares being at a low in years and accommodation specials by Hawaii hotels and owners, it still takes some money out of your pocket for your Hawaii vacation.
I for one love Hawaii in the summer time. You are pretty much guaranteed to have sunny skies, and the snorkeling is the best, because in the summer the reefs are way more clear than in Hawaii winters.
I definitely recommend staying in a vacation home to make your Hawaii holiday more affordable. Our favourite island is Maui and we recommend the Maui Garden http://www.maui-kihei-vacation-rental.com/ House, a two bedroom, two level condo in a lovely tropical complex, just steps to the beach. In the summer you can get great deals on vacation rentals. Just ask the owner to give you their best rate.
Yes, Julie from Maui, snorkeling in crystal clear water during the calm ocean summer months is definitely a good reason to visit Hawaii this summer. A lot of our Hawaii visitors assume snorkeling is great at all times of the year. Best snorkel is in summer and mornings!
Hmm... this is great! you could actually enjoy going to Hawaii for a really affordable price.
Hopefully the rates don't change during peak seasons
Aloha traveller,
Summer peak season is looking around the corner and flights to Hawaii are still affordable and vacation rental owners compete with the hotels and each other by offering the lowest summer Hawaii lodging rates I 've seen in years. Hawaii travelers will benefit from low summer rates big time!
It looks like fun taking a long vacation in Hawaii.
Hmm.. it reminded me of hawaii's golden anniversary coming soon.
Mahalo Hawaiistatehood for reminding us.
Hawaii's 50th anniversay in August is another good reason to visit Hawaii this summer. Our country's 50th state, Hawaii was admitted to the union on Aug. 21, 1959. Hawaii is turning 50 soon!
I noticed quite a number of hotel specials for this occasion like
$50/nt. at Waikiki hotels for the first night for 3-night stays or an extra amenity for guests over
50.
This is worthwhile some more research for a post '50th Hawaii Anniversary Specials' for our Best Hawaii Vacation visitors. Stay tuned.
