I've been there 4 times. Twice in June, once in Nov and most recently July/Aug last year.
Temp wise, it'll be warm but less humid during out winter. Cost wise - it'll be cheaper too.
Activities will be impacted though, as the southern swells that push up during May-August make some of the best snorkelling spots (Hanouma bay, Molokini island) a bit rough and the water murky. There's generally a better swell in and around Honolulu during our winter. During August last year, there was a monster swell of around 2.5 meters off Waikiki beach, which was massive for that area.
A benefit is that the Maui north shore is quiet and some of the bays are great for snorkelling and swimming with turtles, wheras at other times of the year, those same beaches are pounded by 5m+ swells.
Bottom line - i'd definitely go back in our winter, but the best time of year IMO is Oct-Nov.
Oh and make sure you go to at least Maui. The big island is also magnificent. The novelty of honolulu wears off after a while.

Looking to plan a trip to the US later in the year. Just wondered if anyone had any tips of the best places to go and see. Not just looking for the typical places like Disneyland etc...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers :wink:
