For many people, a trip to Hawaii is a life-long dream that they think is not affordable. Plan carefully and you’ll see that it is, in fact, entirely possible. Start by choosing just one of the islands to visit. Hawaii on a budget usually means not just watching your cash, but also watching your time. Hopping from one island to the next will use up both your money and time in short order. Start by Making a list of the “must dos.” Choose a central location that will allow you to easily get to all of those things easily.

Time
The weather in Hawaii seems perfect to most visitors, nearly all year long. It only makes sense to choose a time for your vacation when others might consider it an off time. You’ll find the best deals during the months of April through November. Spring and fall are the very best times to visit. This might seem odd at first. However, the islands are a haven for those in the northern areas. That means they travel to Hawaii in the winter months, when it is coldest in their home locations.

Flight fares
The least expensive flight fares will be, of course, out of the west. The further you reside from the western shores, the more you will pay for your flight. If you can be flexible about dates for your trip, you might find a last minute deal. It pays to keep an eye on airline sites and newsletters where unannounced special fares are offered throughout the year.

Accommodations- Hawaii Vacation Rentals
The most cost effective lodging is a vacation rental. It allows you to stay in one location, while you enjoy all the surrounding endeavors on your itinerary. Of course, you will need to attend a luau during your visit, but otherwise so much money can be saved by preparing your own meals. This is true even if you stock up on just breakfast and late night snack foods. Most Hawaii vacation rentals come with fully equipped kitchens. You will be pleasantly surprise to find the use of beach towels and other water recreational gear included in many Hawaiian vacation rentals. Renting a vacation condo, apartment or home, lets you receive the full effect of living in Hawaii.

Low cost or free
Hawaii’s natural beauty is free to enjoy. Spend time at one of the many exquisite beaches, enjoying snorkeling, swimming or boogie boarding. Take a picnic lunch, you packed earlier, from your vacation rental. No matter which island you choose, there are plenty of low cost and free endeavors. If you’ve chosen the island of Oahu to visit, don’t miss a hiking trip up Diamond Head. When you get to the top you’ll have a full view of Waikiki. The U.S.S. Arizona Memorial tour, at Pearl Harbor, is not to be missed. Maui offers many famous places to visit, such as the Haleakala Crater, Kaanapali Beach, the road to Hana and the old town of Lahaina. The island of Molokai has a rain forest on the east side. You’ll find African and Indian wildlife at the Molokai Ranch Wildlife Park. The Big Island is full of natural beauty, including Akaka Falls, Lapakahi State Historical Park and the Tsunami Museum (free admission).
