Would 4 days be too short for a Hawaii trip?

Would fly out on a Thursday (arriving Noon Hawaii time), and leave on Monday night (red-eye).

We did 4 on our honeymoon. I would do it if I had the chance again but I think min 7 days if you want to hop to one of the other islands on some of the days. We took one entire day and just drove around the island and made stops along the way.

The time difference will get to you. We left BHM very early in the morning. Stopover on Houston, then 8.5 hours in the air to Honolulu. We were completely exhausted and waiting for some place at the resort to open for dinner at 5PM local time. We ate then went to sleep before sunset. Our bodies were telling us it was near midnight and we'd been awake for 21 hours. Woke up at 2-3 AM the first couple of days. Starving and waiting until 5 AM to get breakfast. But it was neat watching the sunrise every day. About day 4 is when we got used to the time. We stayed 6 nights.

Where are you leaving from? It was a 5 or 6 hour time difference for us. If you're out wear it might not be as big of a difference.

4 days is fine. Go sit on a beach with a sugary alcohol drink and enjoy life

The worst part about shirt trips is the cost of flying is emphasized. Longer trips stretch out the value of the upfront flights.

I'd save my money until I could spend more time there unless I lived on the west coast.

I have a seven day minimum for Hawaii. I find nine days is perfect. I'm too old for that 4 day shite.

4 is somewhat of a minimum. You'll get 2.5 decent days there. It's just enough to satisfy the need to getaway, but you won't get to enjoy much else besides the beach.

If all you are after is some beach time, sure.
