There are endless options of ways to enjoy your time in Hawaii so it really depends on your interests, expectations, and available funds. Although it costs quite a bit for airfare and hotel for a Hawaiian vacation you do not have to go into debt to have fun. There are many low cost and free ways to explore and enjoy your stay in paradise.
The key is to get the most for your money while making your dream Hawaiian vacation come true. Hiking is a no or low cost activity that can take you to the parts of Hawaii you have been dreaming of like lush rainforests, along shorelines overlooking the turquoise blue ocean, through volcanic fields, and even into extinct volcanoes. Take time to check out and smell all the beautiful flora and fauna found in Hawaii. There are Botanical Gardens and/or Arboretums on each island allowing you to view a wide variety of species easily in one location. Visit a coffee, pineapple, or macadamia nut farm to see how your favorite island treats are grown and processed. Expand your mind by visiting some of the many cultural and historical museums in the islands.
With an average year round air and water temperature of 75 degrees F you can enjoy several days at the beach getting a sun tan, snorkeling, learning to surf, kayaking, boogie boarding, or body surfing. Plan a romantic adventure where you pack a picnic, drive the coast until you find an uninhabited beach, then enjoy lunch, a swim, a stroll along the shore, and build sand castles. There are some activities with higher priced admission fees which are worth the cost if it is something you have always wanted to do, like skydiving or flying in a helicopter to see flowing lava on the Big Island. It costs about $40 a day to rent a car but you can spend days site seeing by car so it is also a good value for the money.
