Rocky provided an exceptional tour experience in Oahu! His humor added a delightful touch to the journey, making the trip not only informative but also entertaining. His knowledge of the island and its attractions was impressive, and he ensured that everyone on the tour felt engaged and included. Rocky's passion for sharing the beauty of Oahu shone through, making it a memorable and enjoyable experience for all. I highly recommend Rocky as a tour guide for anyone visiting Oahu!

They were very welcoming and patient with everyone!!!! i definitely recommend this for island visitors any day of the week

If you have a limited time, or are looking for a quick way to see several famous spots of the whole island in a day, this is your way to go. We did a day tour stop to Waimea Falls. It was perfect with amount of time for us to have a nice stroll to the falls and float around. The lunch option was limited, where they drop off all the tour buses into one place. Though, we didn't expect much more from this tour format. The garlic shrimps was actually tasty and better than some place in Waikiki we had tried. Kanamu was an amazing guide with incredible knowledge of the island history and its rich culture. I love that she also shared the history as it is, not sugar coating the dark history or the struggle that the natives have had. Would definitely go on a tour with Kanamu again!

Big shout outs to Rocky our tour guide driver! He was by far the most informative tour guide ever! I would definitely recommend Go Tours Hidden Gems Island Tour for any first timers to Hawaii like us. I was so happy they were able to accommodate my pregnant wife on this tour especially since this was going to be our last big vacation before she heads into labor. In addition to that we were very lucky to have front seats on the bus as it really added to the experience and gave us the best views! The package we opted for took us around to most of the main must-sees of the island of Oahu such as the Dole Pineapple Plantation, Byodo In Temple, Shrimp Farm, and many other famous sites. I believe they also offer a much more rigorous package as well that includes more activities like hiking up a mountain. But unfortunately we had to skip out on it this time since I didn't want to tire my wife out due to the state she's in with carrying the baby and all. Rocky's extensive experience in the touring and bus driving industry made us feel really comfortable throughout the whole tour. We were really impressed with his multitasking skills of being able to drive safely while trying to explain to us the backstory of each site at the same time as we were passing by. He was really knowledgeable and vested in the deep history of the island and we really appreciated his time for sharing it with us all. Most of all he kept us entertained throughout the whole ride by throwing in some humor and spoke about his life stories in relation to each site as well so that we wouldn't get bored or sleepy and not overloading us with just information. He's also got a really touching story about his family which he ended the tour with but I will not go into too much detail here since I don't want to spoil it. If you want to know, be sure to request for Rocky as your tour guide to find out!

We loved the sarcastic humor from our tour guide Colins. He was straight forward with what services and recommendations he could offer and was open to give local recommendations and conversations. I liked that shuttles were for smaller groups of 25. But that also meant no bathrooms in this shuttle. However our tour guide did mention all the stops that would have restrooms. The shuttle was older but was spacious. My favorite thing was he recommended these fried bananas that were SO good!! There's a long list of stops but most of them are either 10-30 minutes. This was a good starter tour to see the island, but you definitely need more time on some of the stops.

Took my family to Oahu for my fiancés birthday and daughters Spring break and I can definitely say that this was our best family trip ever! Our first day in Oahu I booked the Circle Island Byodo Temple In tour which was amazing and worth it. My tour guide Bon Jovi was super knowledgeable about all the sites and history of Hawaii being a local himself. He shared stories and had games for us to play along through out the day during our ride, which livened the mood, because I was a little hesitant to book an all day tour cause you never know. I guess I just lucked and all the "stars aligned" like Bon Jovi said. We made all the pit stops listed on the tour description, and we're given time check ins at each pit stop so there was clear directions. I never felt rushed and always had plenty time to enjoy each location. Anyway as a second time guest in Oahu I recommend taking this tour, and if you're lucky enough, you'll get to meet Bon Jovi.

Ray was an excellent host, we had such a wonderful experience. This was my husband and I's first trip to Oahu and we truly enjoyed the tour. Ray was very kind, friendly, and informative all throughout the trip, I highly recommend this experience!

We recently did the "Circle Island Tour: Hidden Gems, Byodo-In Temple, & Turtle Spotting" and it was definitely a highlight of a trip! Lani was a GREAT tour guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved how much there was to see on this tour: it was a full day! Lunch at Tanaka Kahuku Shrimp may have been one of the best meals I had on throughout our entire trip; I'd recommend the butter and garlic shrimp. The Mac Nut farm was amazing - best coffee we had. So glad we did this tour!

Highly, HIGHLY recommend this tour!! Noah was an amazing tour guide and literally went above and beyond to make sure all of us were having a great time. He likes to speed up the process to make sure we're ahead of the line and don't have to wait on anything and squeezes in some extra places to see. He's very adaptable to what's going during the tour as it seems there was some sort of car accident that both the driver and Noah were able to avoid so we wouldn't be stuck in all the traffic. Kudos to them!!! They're also extremely informative on the island's history and makes sure we aren't overwhelmed with information. They also recommended some great places to eat around in Waikiki, which was super helpful!! This tour has EVERYTHING you want to visit in Oahu so if you don't want to drive, I highly recommend this place because you get to see everything in one day and more!!! Would definitely book again if we come back with some people new to Hawaii!!!

Rocky was an amazing guide that had great stories to share and fun facts. It was an amazing time and I'm extremely glad to have this experience. Rocky was kind enough to not rush us at all and was just the most amazing and respectful individual. I definitely recommend going in this tour, you will get great photos and many opportunities to get some nice souvenirs

Make the most of your visit to the Aloha State with one of these top-rated excursions.

With so much to explore in Hawaii, it's best to start your trip with a knowledgeable guide.

The best way to see these jaw-dropping sights is with a guided tour. Led by in-the-know locals, these tours will help you experience all of the state's incredible wildlife, scenery, culture and food. Relying on both expert opinion and traveler input, U.S. News determined these to be the best tours in Hawaii.

Tours are available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m. Tickets cost about $150 for adults ages 18 and older and approximately $90 for kids ages 6 to 17. Children 5 and younger can cruise for free. Dinner and one complimentary cocktail are included in the ticket price; additional cocktails are available for purchase. Body Glove also offers lunch cruises, as well as whale watching excursions.

Fair Wind Cruises – Morning Kealakekua Snorkeling Tour

Snorkel around the Big Island's Kealakekua Bay – known for its calm, pool-like waters – on this 4 1/2-hour tour. As you cruise along the Kona coast, the crew will share stories of Hawaii's history, including King Kamehameha III – Hawaii's longest reigning monarch. A plant-based breakfast and lunch are served on board, and soda, juice, wine and beer are available to purchase from the cash bar. According to travelers, the boat is well-equipped with a diving platform, snorkeling gear, waterslides and plenty of flotation devices. Reviewers also commend the attentive, friendly crew. However, a few travelers express disappointment with the plant-based meals offered. Tours are generally available daily at 9 a.m., though availability may vary by month. Tickets cost approximately $160 for participants ages 13 and older and $100 for kids ages 4 to 12; children 3 and younger can join for about $30. Fair Wind Cruises offers an afternoon version of this tour, as well as a variety of other snorkeling excursions around the island.

Living Ocean Tours – Turtle Canyons Snorkel Excursion

The appropriately titled Turtle Canyons is known as a sea turtle hangout spot. It's at this area along the Waikiki coast that green sea turtles congregate as reef fish swim around them and clean their shells. It's also the perfect place to go snorkeling if you're interested in getting up close to the majestic creatures. On this two-hour snorkel trip, you'll cruise along the coast before having time to get in the water in search of the marine life at Turtle Canyons. Depending on the season, you may also spot dolphins and humpback whales during the tour. Reviewers admire the passionate crew, and say they are especially helpful with kids. Others plan to book this same tour on future visits to the island. Tours are available daily beginning at 7 a.m., with multiple departure times per day. Tickets cost about $75 per person ages 3 and older. Juices, water, light snacks and the use of snorkeling gear are all included in the cost of the tour. Living Ocean also offers private charters.

Hawaii is often on the short list of dream destinations for a relaxing beach holiday. But a potential trip to paradise doesn’t happen without first asking the critical question: How much is a trip to Hawaii?

The answer varies depending on where you stay and when you travel. We’ve crunched the numbers to give you an idea of how much you can expect to spend so you’re better prepared to budget for a vacation in Hawaii.

Estimated Hawaii trip cost

Beachfront view of the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. (Photo courtesy of Hilton)

We looked at the estimated costs of a 10-night trip for a family of four (two adults and two children) during the peak summer travel season, as well as a seven-night trip for that same family during the shoulder season.

Here are the hypotheticals:

Travel to Honolulu on the island of Oahu, the most popular island for visitors to Hawaii.

Round-trip flights for four from Los Angeles.

A peak-season trip assumes a June 25, 2024, departure, while a shoulder-season trip assumes a May 8, 2024, departure.

We used three property types to assess price estimates:

A beachfront four-star resort: Hilton Hawaiian Village.

A three-star hotel: Holiday Inn Express Waikiki.

A condo: Various Waikiki units on Vrbo.com.

Totals include resort fees :

$50 per night at the four-star resort.

$29.49 per night at the three-star hotel.

All management and cleaning fees at the condo units.

Totals include parking costs of:

$68.06 per day at the four-star resort.

$45 per day at the three-star hotel.

Parking isn't included in condo totals (varies by building/unit).

Meals include nightly dinners of about $225, including drinks, taxes and tips.

At a four-star resort, meal estimates include breakfasts and lunches totaling about $100 per day.

Costs at a three-star hotel, which includes free breakfast, include only lunches totaling about $50 per day.

Tightly budgeted meals assume cutting food costs by 60% with cheap eats and/or preparing meals.

Activities for the 10-night trip include a snorkeling excursion, surfing lessons, a Pearl Harbor visit and a day at a water park. For the seven-night trip: snorkeling, the Pearl Harbor visit and a day at a water park (no surfing lessons).

Economy rental car reserved through DiscountHawaiiCarRental.com or Turo .

$5-a-day tip for housekeepers .

Based on the information outlined above, here are our estimated budgets.

» Learn more: The best times to visit Hawaii by travel style

10-night trip, peak summer travel season

$15,090: Four-star beachfront resort, with a 10-day rental car.

$10,447: Three-star hotel, with a 10-minute walk to the beach and a five-day rental car.

$7,781 Low-cost condo within walking distance to the beach, tightly budgeted meals and a five-day rental car.

Seven-night trip, shoulder season

$9,574: Four-star beachfront resort, with a seven-day rental car.

$6,488: Three-star hotel, with a 10-minute walk to the beach and a rental car for two days.

$4,936: Low-cost condo within walking distance to the beach, tightly budgeted meals and a two-day rental car.

Can you beat these numbers? Definitely. Here are tips on how to save on your vacation to Hawaii.

How to cut your Hawaii vacation costs

Stay on the beach or rent a car every day, but don’t do both.

Does your idea of a great vacation involve hitting the open road to explore every corner of the island? Then, don’t pay premium prices for a hotel on the beach.

On the other hand, if your dream trip involves tons of time lounging on the sand and splashing in the pool, don’t pay $55 a day for a rental car plus $68 a day to park it when it’s just going to sit there.

Many Waikiki hotels are within walking distance of a car rental agency, so it’s easy to get a car for just part of your trip. Select “Waikiki” instead of “Honolulu airport” as your pick-up and drop-off location for your rental car. If you pick the car up in the morning, then drop it off at the end of the day, you can save a night’s worth of parking costs, cutting down your trip cost.

The downside to this strategy is you may have to wait in a long line to get your car. So send one adult to pick up the vehicle in the morning while the rest of the crew gets ready for the day. And don’t forget to include airport transfers in your budget. Budget about $37 each way, including tip, for a taxi or rideshare between Waikiki and Honolulu airport.

Eat cheaper

If your family of four has a nice dinner at the world-famous Duke’s Waikiki, including cocktails for the adults, an appetizer and a Hula Pie dessert to share, you’ll spend about $225, including taxes and tip. Of course, the beachfront views, tiki torches and aloha spirit might be worth it. But you don’t have to spend that much every night.

Step away from the beach and meals get much cheaper. For example, the outstanding burgers at Cheeseburger in Paradise are about $20, as opposed to the $36 baked fish at Duke’s.

In addition, pizza joints, super-affordable ramen houses, authentic Hawaiian diners such as Rainbow Drive-In, chains such as Denny’s and IHOP and fast-food restaurants including McDonald’s, Burger King and Subway can bring your meal costs down.

Or swing into one of the many ABC Stores to pick up packaged salads, sandwiches, yogurt, snacks, drinks or some spam musubi (a slice of grilled Spam sandwiched between or on top of a block of rice, wrapped in nori) to fill up on the cheap.

More affordable yet, you can buy cereal, coffee, milk, sandwich meats and bread to prepare breakfasts and lunches at your hotel or condo.

» Learn more: Is island hopping in Hawaii worth it?

Consider a condo

You can often find a vacation rental just a few minutes from the beach for much cheaper than you’d pay for a hotel.

For example, we found the condo shown below on Vrbo for 10 nights for $1,942 plus tax, for a total of $2,260. And that’s during peak summer travel.

For a seven-day rental during the shoulder season, you can cut your total accommodations expenditure by around $500 by choosing a condo over a hotel.

Many condos have kitchens, too, so you could save money by making eggs or pancakes for breakfast, spaghetti for dinner and packing sandwiches for lunches while you’re out and about.

Pay with points and miles

The question “How much is a vacation to Hawaii?” has a much more appealing answer if you pay using airline miles, hotel points or credit card points — which can erase hundreds or even thousands of dollars from your trip cost.

If you want to go to Hawaii

So how much does it cost to go to Hawaii? It can be expensive. Hidden costs like resort fees and exorbitant parking prices can easily break a budget. But there are ways to save on the cost of a vacation to Hawaii.

Traveling before or after the peak summer season can save a considerable amount. In addition, don’t pay a premium to stay on the beach if you won’t take full advantage of that location, and don’t pay up to $68 a night to park a car as you’re splashing around the pool for several days.

To save big, consider a condo where you can cook many of your meals to save on dining. With these simple strategies, your answer to the question “How much is a vacation to Hawaii?” is one that fits your budget.

How Much Does a 2024 Hawaii Trip Cost? (+ Budget Saving Tips)

W hat family doesn’t dream of a visit to Hawaii? The Hawaiian Islands hold incredible appeal and intrigue for families as a vacation destination. With spectacular beaches, incredible landscapes, and kid-friendly resorts, it seems easy enough to pack your bags and head across the Pacific for a Hawaii vacation. But how much does a Hawaii trip cost? We’ve crunched the numbers to come up with guidelines for a Hawaiian vacation budget.

Below is an outline of travel costs that families can use when visiting Hawaii for the first time . This includes the approximate cost of flights and accommodations, how much to pay when renting a car in Hawaii, what time of year to travel in order to save money, and how to plan for the cost of special experiences like a helicopter tour of Mauna Kea or surf lessons.

With the right planning, your family can determine how best to allocate your precious travel savings to design the Hawaii vacation package of your dreams. If you want to cut this budget down, check out these 105 tips for doing Hawaii on a budget . These are also some great tips for saving money to travel .

Hawaii Budget Assumptions

For calculating Hawaii trip costs, this post will outline pricing for two adults and two children between the ages of 6-11 , traveling from the east coast of the United States in the summer months , and spending 5 nights each on Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii , for a total of 10 nights, 11 days.

These islands were chosen because they offer the common introductory Hawaiian experiences: Oahu is home to Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the North Shore, while the Big Island of Hawaii has a laid-back vibe perfect for relaxing, and is home to six of Hawaii’s nine national parks including the best options for volcano viewing and hiking. You can use this guide to pick the best Hawaiian island for your family.

I have organized the costs of a trip to Hawaii by airfare, car rental/transportation, accommodations, food, and activities , including tips and ideas for savings in each category. If you want to skip to the bottom line, a summer trip to Hawaii for a family of four for 10 nights costs approximately $16,690, or about $417.25 per person, per day. But read on to see how this breaks down and where you can save money.!

Cost of Airfare to Hawaii

Note that this post contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission.

The biggest cost differentiator when purchasing flights is whether your family is flying from the west coast of the U.S. or somewhere else (midwest, east coast, etc.) Expect to pay around $865-1,300 per person traveling from one of the east coast hubs in the summer months, while flights from California may be $700-900 in the summer.

Honolulu on Oahu has more flight connections to and from mainland U.S. airports than any other Hawaiian airport, so that is typically the point of arrival or departure. To maximize your vacation time, be sure to price out flying into Oahu and out of the Big Island (Kona is the largest airport on the Big Island) or vice versa.

This will save you another inter-island flight back to your initial destination for your return flight. If you choose Maui as your second island, you can often find direct flights from Maui to many U.S. cities.

Another huge cost savings can be gained by flying mid-week if at all possible. Flights in and out of Hawaii jump up in price on Saturdays and Sundays since it is primarily a leisure travel destination, not a business location.

Flight prices are also dependent on the time of year. The festive period, Thanksgiving week, and popular spring break weeks will price out similarly to summer dates, if not more. January and February are typically the cheapest time to fly to Hawaii if you have the flexibility to get away then.

For inter-island flights (like connections between the Big Island and Oahu), Hawaiian Airlines and Mokulele are your best bets. Hawaiian Airlines will feel similar to a full-service airline, and importantly, you can use or earn points on most of the major U.S. airlines like Delta and United when booking flights on this airline because of their mutual affiliation.

Mokulele is a typical low-budget airline. Expect limited service and no frills, but it certainly works and there can be significant cost savings, given that it is a very short flight time.

Prices for an inter-island flight are usually under $60 per person for a one-way flight and most flights are less than one hour in length. Do take note of flight departure times, though. It’s always best to schedule these inter-island flights for mid-day, so that your family is in the air between check-out time at one hotel and check-in time at the next hotel. Early morning departures may be a little cheaper, but then you’re stuck filling several hours before you can check into your next accommodation.

Be aware that Southwest Airlines does offer direct flights from several California airports to all the major Hawaiian Islands. Remember that Southwest prices aren’t published on flight comparison sites, so you must book directly with the airline.

For this post, I assumed that families would spend $900 per person to get to and from Hawaii, and then another $60 per person on a one-way inter-island flight. You’d want to budget for an additional inter-island flight if you need to get back to your island of arrival for your return flight to the mainland U.S., however.

I’d highly recommend signing up for Going to get alerts on flight sales to your dream destinations.

Total airfare cost: $3,840

Cost of Accommodations in Hawaii

Basic rooms that sleep four at full-service luxury resorts, like Disney’s Aulani on Oahu or Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island, price out around $700 per night in the summer months. You can easily spend $1,000 a night or more for more spacious accommodation, like larger suites or condos with kitchens at these properties.

For budget travelers, even three-star hotels in Hawaii price out at around $250-400 per night in the summer months. Often these properties sacrifice beach access or beautiful locations and expect rooms to be quite basic. But most will have that sought-after amenity of a great pool so they certainly work for families who don’t require a lot of frills.

For those who veer away from resorts and toward quieter, self-catering accommodations, expect vacation rentals to range from $250-1,500 per night in the summer. Prices on the Big Island tend to be a little lower and a better value overall than Oahu.

Keep in mind that having a kitchen may bring down your food costs, especially if you choose to cook some meals yourself, or simply prepare basic breakfasts and sandwiches and keep drinks and snacks cold. Resorts are not known for inexpensive food, after all.

Also, take note of what’s included when booking resort vacation packages in Hawaii. Some include the cost of all the on-site amenities, while others do not. Complimentary breakfast is not always a given here, either. Other properties have a big markup when it comes to daily resort fees ($30 per person per day is not uncommon). Reading the fine print is important for this style of accommodation.

Another cost-saving strategy is to book early, especially for peak summer dates. Many of the popular resorts are fully booked for July and August by February. So booking accommodation in the fall for summer travel makes a lot of sense just so you have access to all the room category options. Plus, many properties offer pay-in-advance discounts, though you’ll definitely want to invest in travel insurance should you decide to take advantage of those lower rates.

See the 9 best Maui resorts for families and the 7 best Oahu hotels for families .

I used the $700 average nightly rate for a lower category room at full-service resorts as my price calculation for accommodation costs.

Total Accommodation Cost: $7,000 for 10 nights

Transportation costs in Hawaii

Of course, if you want to get off the property of the resort and explore some of the natural beauty of the Hawaiian islands, you are going to need a way to get around. The cost to rent a midsize SUV is typically around $400 for 5 days, including taxes and fees.

Be sure to book early if you’re traveling to Hawaii during busy periods; rental cars often sell out a few weeks prior to peak travel weeks. When calculating total transportation costs, I assumed families would rent a car on both Oahu and the Big Island for the duration of their trip, plus another $150 in gas and parking fees.

Check car rental prices on Kayak

While both islands have public transportation by way of bus routes, most families find this method of travel prohibitively time-consuming to get to the various spots that interest them. For families that envision not leaving the resort much, but still want a taste of both islands, you can book a driver to take you around for the day for around $600 per day.

If you opt not to rent a car, you’ll also need to account for airport transfers. Private transfers price out around $70-150 for one-way service to various accommodations within a reasonable drive of the airport.

Total Car Rental/Transportation Cost: $950

Food Costs in Hawaii

There’s no way around it: eating in Hawaii is expensive. Many families who don’t plan ahead and take this into account have serious sticker shock when they arrive. Remember, a lot of the food has traveled by boat for over a week to get to the Hawaiian Islands.

One great rule to keep in mind, both when grocery shopping and dining out, is to look for food that is sourced locally. Not only will it be cheaper, but it will taste fresher and reduce your carbon footprint. For example, stop at markets and roadside stands for produce. It’ll be a fraction of the cost of what fruits and vegetables cost at the grocery stores and it makes for a great cultural immersion experience.

This is another example of why renting a car ultimately often saves money: because resort mini-markets are very overpriced. If you can get to a big box store to stock up on snacks or simple meal ingredients, there will be cost savings. That said, even grocery shopping is expensive. If you’re on a very tight budget, consider doing a little research in advance. Most of Hawaii’s grocery store chains are affiliated with a mainland counterpart. You may be able to use your loyalty card from home for discounts.

Naturally, dining out is also pricey. Look for accommodations that provide complimentary breakfast; this will be a huge cost saver up front. Next, aim for more reasonably priced lunches, like roadside stands or packed picnic fixings while you’re out exploring. This way, lunch will cost about $12 per person, instead of $25, which you can expect to pay at resort restaurants. Then you can indulge in lovely dinners with a little less guilt about the price tag. Expect dinner to cost around $50 or more per person, younger children who order off a kid’s menu will be significantly less.

Given that, we can assume that families of four will spend around $250 per day on food costs.

Total Food Cost: $2,500

Tours and Activity Costs

Undoubtedly the top reason families love coming to Hawaii is the natural beauty: gorgeous views, incredible beaches, and diverse landscapes. Fortunately, this is all completely free to enjoy once you arrive.

It’s quite easy to spend days exploring the islands without spending a dime other than on food and gas. Add in a few days of leisurely enjoying resort amenities, and it means activities don’t have to break the bank compared to other travel expenses.

That said, a trip here is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so families tend to want to do and see it all while here. A favorite bucket list activity can include surf lessons, which can cost around $100-200 per person for an hour or two. You may also want to visit Pearl Harbor. See more suggestions on things to do in Oahu with kids .

Most of the national parks in Hawaii are free to enter, but the three that do charge entrance fees are around $30 per car. Check to see if your resort will host a luau dinner during your stay, or plan to arrange to attend one off-site one evening. The cost is around $120 per adult and kids are usually half off (but this includes dinner).

The big ticket item is usually a helicopter tour. Costs can differ drastically based on where you go, how long, and your departure point. Generally, a tour that originates in Hilo, the rainier side of the Big Island, is a cheaper location yet offers incredible views of the volcanoes that dot the island. The cost for this for a family of four is around $1556.

Total Activity Cost: $2,400

Of course, for a vacation this expensive, you want to make sure you purchase travel insurance .

Total Cost for a 10-day Trip to Hawaii

The total cost for a 10-day trip to Hawaii for a family of four is about $16,690. This assumes nice, four-star accommodations and a few splurges on activities and meals. Of course, you may also want to budget for some souvenirs from Hawaii , we were very tempted by some beautiful paintings when we visited!

As we discussed above, families can save money on more budget accommodations, vacation rentals, preparing their own meals, staying at a resort to use the pool and beach and not renting a car or doing other activities. For West Coast families, it is also easy to visit for just a week or even five days. But if you are traveling from the East Coast and taking a 10-hour flight, you probably want to stay at least 10 days.

One of the best ways to save is to use airline, hotel, or credit card points to offset some of those expenses. If it is going to be a trip of a lifetime, save those points to make it happen!

Let’s recap the Hawaii budget breakdown:

There are cheaper locations to travel to, especially if your family merely wants sunny weather and sandy beaches. But Hawaii is one of the most unique locations in the world, with its indigenous culture, lush landscapes and rugged mountains, and incredibly luxurious yet kid-friendly resorts.

It has a correspondingly hefty price tag, but families unanimously consider a trip here money well spent, and many return year after year. Here are some tips for planning a budget trip to Hawaii .

New Hawaii Airlines and Their Effect on Ticket Prices

There is now more reason for you to visit Hawaii in 2018. This year, newly opened airline companies offer more flights to the island, promising a comfortable journey with an affordable price.

Southwest Airlines

Just as 2017 is closing, in a gathering in Los Angeles, Southwest Airlines just launched its newest service to Hawaii. This ended years of speculation from patrons and potential passengers. According to news sources, the airline company will start their ticket sales earlier this year. The service will start as soon as the company secures FAA approval to operate between the mainland and Hawaii.

Executive Vice President of Southwest Airlines, Andrew Watterson tackled the ‘Southwest Effect’ on Hawaii News Now. He said that their average fares is lower than other airlines. “Low costs come from very efficient operations. We pay our people well, but we work them hard and we work the airplanes hard. So that leads to lows costs so we have lower than our competitors so we’ll be able to bring lower ticket prices.” He added.

The West Coast will experience this innovation earlier, as first Southwest Airlines flights to Hawaii will be dawning from California. The company is also eyeing to offer inter-island transfers as well.

Furthermore, a budget airline company called Scoot stepped up to the game. Scoot is the low-cost arm of the Singapore Airlines Group. Hawaii is Scoot’s first U.S. destination, with four days weekly of flights offered. They open their doors for passengers who want to travel from Honolulu to Singapore through Osaka.

The inaugural flight set for Dec. 19. Their company has a Christmas promotion. They gave away $80 one-way fares from Honolulu to Osaka and $200 one-way fares to Singapore.

“We are pleased to enter the U.S. market through Hawaii”, Lee Lik Hsin, Scoot CEO said in an interview. “We’ve heard so much excitement among our frequent fliers since announcing the Honolulu route and we wanted to offer Hawaii locals a chance to experience our airline and visit one of our key destinations at an affordable rate”. He added.

Virgin America

On the other hand, more airlines are expanding their flights to Hawaii too. Companies decided to increase the number of direct flights to and from Honolulu and other main cities of Hawaii. It is because of the massive volume of tourists these previous years.

Virgin America is now offering non-stop, daily flights between San Francisco and Kona starting December 14.

Delta Air Lines

Last December 20, United Airlines began expanding its capacity of flying in tourists to Hawaii by 20 percent overall. It adds more non-stop flights to the islands from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Denver. One day later, Delta Air Lines began their non-stop daily flights from Seattle to Lihue.

All of these developments attributed to the boost of Hawaii’s tourism industry throughout the years. In 2016, Hawaii achieved a new record of 8,934,277 visitors.

These added and expanded flight offerings are just one proof that people from across the globe wants to visit Hawaii. Indeed, these developments are a great way to finish 2017 on a high note . It is also a springboard to further strengthen Hawaii’s tourism as 2018 begins.
