Want to save money on your Hawaii vacation in 2016?
There’s no denying that a visit to this stunning paradise can get expensive fast, but there are ways to save yourself some money…without having any less fun.
Check out this list of six budget friendly tips to make your vacation a tad cheaper (but no less fun).
Here are 6 tips to save money on your Hawaii vacation in 2016:
1. Consider Traveling During the Off-Season
Let’s be honest…there’s never really a bad season to be in paradise.
No matter what time of year you visit Hawaii, you’ll more than likely have gorgeous weather and a variety of activities to choose from.
This doesn’t mean, however, that there’s not still a peak season for tourists. If you’re looking for money-saving deals, you should think about visiting during the off-season.
So when should you go?
Generally, from the middle of April to early June and from September to Early December, things are quieter and will cost less.
2. Plan Ahead…OR Wait Until the Last Minute
By planning your trip far in advance, you will have a greater chance of finding budget-friendly options. There will be more availability and things tend to be a little bit cheaper.
On the contrary, however, if you’re looking for a spur-of-the-moment vacation, you can often find big discounts, thanks to cancellations and vacancies.
3. Book a Vacation Package
When you’re planning a trip to Hawaii, there are two things you’ll need no matter what – flights and accommodations.
By bundling these reservations and making them together through the same company, you will often find yourself rolling in discounted rates.
4. Schedule Your Activities and Excursions Online
While a lot of people choose to wait and buy tickets to various tours and activities once they arrive in Hawaii, you could be saving a lot of money by booking these activities in advance.
Online discount sites work directly with these locations and are able to offer their customers cheaper rates.
So if you’re interested in places like the following, don’t forget to buy tickets ahead of time:
- Dinner Cruises
- Pearl Harbor Memorial
- Polynesian Cultural Center
- Various Hawaii Tours and Activities, Including:
- Kayaking
- Horseback Riding
- Helicopter
5. Search for Free Activities
When you’re vacationing in Hawaii, rest assured that there are plenty of free things to do.
Whether you go window shopping at some of the state’s most popular malls and local stores, plan a hike, or spend the day lounging on the beach … free opportunities for fun abound.
6. Find a Hotel or Vacation Rental with a Kitchen
During your stay in Hawaii, there’s no doubt that you’ll want to experience some of its world-class restaurants and traditional cuisine. This doesn’t mean, however, that you have to eat out every meal.
Take advantage of local grocery stores and markets by making some of your own meals. This will save a ton of money and still allow you to experience the incredible native flavors.
