Travel during less busy times of the year
Supply and demand even applies to travel. If you choose to travel to Hawaii during a less busy month of the year like April, you can save some money on your flight. You can also choose to travel to Hawaii in September through November.
The height of the summer as well as the holidays are much busier than normal. Thus, flights will cost more during these times.
Choose a cheaper island
Not all islands are equal! Some islands will cost you more than others to visit. Oahu is the cheapest island to visit. Kauai is also pretty cheap in comparison to more expensive islands like the big island or Maui.
When we say cheap, we mean that hotels and other basic necessities will be cheaper. Things like gas and groceries will cost about the same.
Look for free stuff to do
You can always save some cash by doing things that will not cost you anything. This includes hiking, visiting the beach by taking a bus, watching firework displays, and going sightseeing. You can easily spend several days filled with fun and interesting activities that do not cost a penny.
You can also do things that might cost some money but are relatively inexpensive. This could include things like going to a museum.
Seek out deals and coupons
At some point you will need to do something that costs money. However, it does not need to cost a lot of money. You can search on Google for coupons. Many businesses will offer up to fifty percent off on sites like Groupon. Just be sure that the coupons are valid during the dates of your visit to Hawaii.
Think and plan ahead
The best way to get cheaper accommodations in Hawaii is to book them as early as you can. Travel companies know that when someone is booking a room close to the date that they will be staying that they can change more for it, so, they do. They take advantage of a traveler’s desperation and need.
You can avoid this by booking your room and whatever else accommodations you need a few months in advance.
