vacation

. Guys, wait before you say the cheapest island. Can we say which one we thought was the cheapest island? because I was, we're both surprised, I'm very surprised, I'm sure the cheapest island will be the big island, yeah right, that makes sense, yeah, we had a very reasonably priced trip there last year.

And I thought it was affordable, but what we found was that the cheapest island is actually Oahu, which I guess shouldn't be surprising because it's like the biggest island, there's a lot of competition, a lot of people like to go there, yeah, but yeah, Oahu. It is the cheapest Hawaiian island to

visit

and we have all the data for you in an article below, but we are going to share some of that with you here exactly, so we have analyzed kayak.com and a few other sites. To compare costs and the biggest cost when you come to Hawaii is accommodation, yes, then flights and then rental cars, yes, so we don't cover activities because it really depends on where you are, but they don't really change that.

Anyway, to be honest, flights were actually cheaper to fly to the big island, but only marginally, so Oahu was the second cheapest island to fly to and then for flights, if you want the cheapest time to fly What Skyscanner data has found is that February and April have the cheapest deals for flights, so when it comes to accommodation, I have some data here. We got this data from the Hawaii Tourism Authority from their 2019 data, so this is official government data and they surveyed 89 of the hotels in Hawaii. For this data, yes, the average daily hotel rate on Oahu was $200,241, so it was the cheapest.

The most expensive average daily hotel rate was here on Maui, at 3.99, so that's a big difference, 241 per night for 3.99 per night, that's huge. considerable and what if you stay in a vacation rental, the big island is actually cheaper, but only by a little bit, so the big island was $181 a night. Oahu was $191 per night and the most expensive per night room rate for a vacation rental. it was Kauai at $294 a night so Oahu is still the cheapest place for lodging and lodging makes a big difference and then rental cars are a little bit cheaper on Oahu so there you go yeah a bit.

There is a difference, there is data in the article, but it all adds up, yes it really does, overall costs, so we priced out a week trip for two people to come to all the islands and just see which ones they were. general costs. For these three things, flight, accommodation and rental car, what we found was that Oahu was the cheapest, the total cost would be 2625. The most expensive island costs almost a thousand dollars more for that week and that is Maui, which costs 3,600 . The most expensive Hawaiian island of Maui. I still think it's worth it, we love Maui, I mean we love them all, but we love Maui so I can understand why it's so expensive, so if you're looking for an affordable trip to Hawaii, you're trying to make it

your

travel

money

will stretch.

As much as possible, I don't blame you at all, here are some

tips

, so number one is vacation rentals. I recommend booking vacation rentals, it is usually cheaper than the hotel, especially for groups. Yes, this is a good way to do it. Plus, I love the experience. vacation rentals we have a video above hotels vs vacation rentals find out what is best for you for her why vacation then jordan loves vacation rentals and i enjoy them too but sometimes i really love a resort especially in vacation, um and so we found make a compromise by spending maybe five days at a vacation rental and two days at a resort, you'll do it.

It's really nice. Tip number two is car rental. Try to save money on your car rental. We do this by going to discounts on car rentals in Hawaii. wonderful, we have the link below and they are always cheaper, we always compare prices even when we use them, we are fine, they say hertz is the cheapest, let's go to hertz and double check and they are still cheaper with discount. White car rental, so with discount car rentals in Hawaii you book through their portal, but you book with all the major car rental websites, so you book directly with Hertz, Thrifty, Enterprise or anyone else and you don't have to pay up front. which is nice and I'll just say that when we went to the big island over new years, we saved three hundred dollars for a car rental for a week just by using the discount car rental in Hawaii, we just made the drive to Hana, this It's just a two-day rental we saved thirty dollars on a two-day rental round trip, it was great, so tip number three is the activities we recommend comparing prices for activities like comparing prices based on quality, because it Cheaper is not always as good as the quality you miss out on. stuff and there are also some good discount websites like the

hawaii

activity.com link is below, they are usually a little cheaper but sometimes it's great to just go straight to the booking site because like the Pacific Whale Foundation in Maui, offers a 10 discount if you make a reservation. directly through their online portal yeah so it just takes a little bit of research on the activities that can really add up and obviously you don't want to spend less and do a really terrible activity that you want to balance like the cost and the Uh , experience you will have, so it takes quite a bit of time to compare prices and the last tip is how to get a good deal on flights to Hawaii.

We have a video on how to book your cheapest flight. What I recommend is to simply sign up for the Hawaii low cost airline notifications, so the low cost airlines that fly to Wire are Alaska Southwest Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, they always have the best deals. If you sign up for notifications, you'll get a ping when they have really good deals, sometimes they have great ones. Flash sales are especially looming over the next year. We know flights will be cheaper, so sign up for notifications and find great deals. Yes, we fly in Alaska all the time back and forth between the mainland and Hawaii or we used to. before the quarantine was a thing and then we flew to the inner island in the southwest and Hawaii and all the time so we really enjoyed them this was the cheapest island to visit.
