Hawaii is expensive! Not just flights & hotels, meals & activities add up fast, too!  Tip: Add free activities like beach days and botanical gardens to your plans!

Public transport is limited, especially on Kauai and the Big Island. To explore Oahu's North Shore or drive Maui’s Road to Hana, you'll need a car!

Island-hopping is great (and you should do it!). But unless you have more than one week, stick to 1 or 2 islands.

Hawaii’s waters are beautiful but can be dangerous. Always check beach safety signs and consult lifeguards before swimming.
