Day 1: Arriving in Hawaii

When you arrive in Hawaii, you will find that this place is very beautiful, but also very expensive. Therefore, I suggest that after arriving in Hawaii, you first find a cost-effective hotel. If you want to save money, choose to stay in an Airbnb room outside your hotel.

The next day: the island tour begins

The next morning, you can rent a car and start the island tour. I recommend starting at Waikiki Beach on Oahu, one of the most famous beaches in Hawaii. You can relax here and enjoy the sun, sand and waves. If you want to save money, you can bring your own lunch or buy food at the convenience store outside the beach.

Day Three: Explore Volcanoes National Park

On Day Three you can head to Volcanoes National Park, here It is one of the most famous attractions in Hawaii. You can see spectacular volcanoes, lava and tropical rainforests here. If you want to save money, you can choose to drive there instead of taking a tour.

Day 5: Enjoy local food

On the fifth day you can go to the local farmer’s market and taste local food. Hawaiian cuisine is very diverse, including Hawaiian barbecue, lobster, sashimi and more. If you want to save money, you can choose to buy food at the market and cook it yourself.
