How to Have a Hawaiin Vacation for Less than $1,000!
In these times of economical woes, most people think that a Hawaiian vacation is out of the question. With a little research and planning, and maybe a little "out of the box" thinking, you could be on your way to tropical paradise..without breaking the bank!
- The cheapest time to visit Hawaii is during SHOULDER SEASON. High season is too pricey and low season usually means bad weather and closed beaches.
Shoulder season in hawaii is from mid-March-May, September-November. You'll find low rates on hotels, car rentals, and activities.
- Go online to find the cheapest deal. Check these travel quote sites for cheap rates:
Expedia
Orbitz
Travelocity
Priceline
Cheap Tickets
OneTravel has quoted me the lowest airline prices so far.Try to book your flight at least 6 months in advance for cheaper rates.
Flights booked in May seem to produce the lowest rates. Even lower if you leave during the weekday.For example: Today is March 5, 2009. OneTravel.com quoted me $591(taxes included) for a flight to Hilo, Hi, leaving on May 12, 2009 returning May 19th. This is about as cheap as you can find. If you've priced flights to Hawaii you know that they can get well over $1000 bucks per person. MAY IS THE SECRET MONTH...AND TRUST ME I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK!
- If you want to see Hawaii in its natural glory opt for camping or staying in a cabin rental. Did you know you can pitch a tent in Hawaii on a beach for free? However, this is not often the safest route. You can camp on a campground with amenities for as little as $10.00 dollars per person per night! It's much safter and you'll be able to use the facilities. Here's a list of campgrounds/cabin rentals offering top notch facilities:

- A great way to save money on food is to split the cost with other campers or cabins dwellers. Come up with a fair meal plan and head to the nearest village grocer. You can pitch this idea by of course mentioning the money that will be saved but also propose rotating cooking nights...you'll cook the first night. Most everyone is looking for a way to save money and they'll probably jump right in.
