There is nothing that compares to a vacation in Hawaii. It is such a wonderful, relaxing place to visit.

If you want to experience the nightlife and shopping then Oahu is where you might want to go. If you are looking for quiet beaches, lots of flowers and less traffic, Kauai is the perfect place.

Step 1: Planning Your Trip

It's important to do your research and plan ahead.

Do a web search for each island and your own personal interests.

What Island do you want to visit? Each one has it's own thing, it's very own feel.

Calculate how much the trip will cost and start saving up money. Making a budget and sticking to it will help to make your trip more enjoyable.

In Hawaii, everyone dresses casual all the time so there's no need to bring fancy clothes.

Hanging out at the beach is the best way, in my opinion, to spend a day in Hawaii!

Step 2: Buying a Plane Ticket

Once you decide when you are going, you can purchase a plane ticket. Search around for bargains and remember that flying on a weekday will save you money. Also, flying September through May will be less expensive than during the Summer months.

Step 3: Making Hotel Reservations

Search for a hotel within your budget and make reservations online.

Even better, there are several Airbnb locations to stay at in Hawaii. Many of these are under $75 per night!

Be sure to look for extra fees.

When you arrive at your Hotel, ask the desk clerk or host for recommendations for Restaurants and night life.

Find out where the locals go!

Step 4: Transportation

Hawaii has most major rental car companies at the airport, so most travelers rent a vehicle but it can run into quite an expense when you factor in the gas.

The big Island, Oahu, Kauai, and Maui all have public transportation with their buses. This is a good way to save money while you are visiting Hawaii. A couple of dollars will get you a ride. They have day passes that will save even more.

There are also several places to rent bicycles.

Step 5: Schedule Events

There are many things to do in Hawaii. Prioritize your list and that way, if you run out of time, you've gotten to do the most important things on the list.

Ziplining is loads of fun!

Step 6: See the Sights

There are many things to see and do in Hawaii. The islands are full of historical landmarks and museums for you to learn about the people and culture.
