Have you been to a black sand beach ?
*
Punaluʻu beach is the most famous black sand beach of Hawaii. It’s great for seeing turtles ( I have seen several in the water ), sunbathing, coastal hikes or a nice picnic.
*
I recommend visiting during morning hours ( anytime before noon) rather than afternoon because it often gets cloudy in afternoon hours since it’s a east facing beach.

The magic of Kaua’i 🌿🌺✨

Located in the middle of the pacific, this little island packs a huge punch when it comes to stunning views and incredible experiences. I’ve been lucky enough to visit twice now 🥰

Each time was filled with lots of sporadic dumps of rain, beautiful rainbows in the clearing after, gorgeous hikes and insane views- if you can get yourself out to Kauai I 10/10 recommend 🫶🏻

9 TIPS FOR TRAVELING TO HAWAII WITHOUT EMPTYING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT ✈️🏝️🤑 [‘save’ this post for your future travel planning to the Hawaiian islands!]

1️⃣ Google Flights is your new bff — I love the “track prices” and “date grid“ options for finding the cheapest flights; for flights from Chicago I’ve had success w Southwest Airlines | southwestair and Delta | delta (I’ve also heard good things about cheap flights on Alaska Airlines | alaskaair but haven’t flown them yet!)

2️⃣ for cheap car rentals in Hawaii search DiscountHawaiiCarRental.com + use car rental loyalty programs — I got 4 FREE rental days on Oahu this trip through the Hertz | hertz loyalty program!

3️⃣ get a Costco membership — it’ll save you a lot of $$ on gas / groceries in Hawaii (plus Hawaii Costcos have tons of Hawaiian snacks which make fab souvenirs!)

4️⃣ use Hawaii FB groups to rent directly from owners and avoid short term rental fees (if you decide to use AirBnB for your Hawaii rental, I have a post on CourseCharted.com that’ll also help you save money!)

5️⃣ eat / drink at Hawaiian restaurants’ happy hours — my first time in Hawaii I was amazed by how many fantastic restaurants have happy hours (favs on Oahu include: Sky Waikiki | skywaikiki Bevy | bevybar and Indochine 1938 | 1938indochine and Moku | mokukitchen )

6️⃣ take advantage of all the FREE outdoor activities in the Hawaiian islands like hiking, snorkeling (byo gear), relaxing on the beach, swimming in secluded bays, botanic gardens, surfing (byo board or see if your condo has one included like mine did this trip!), watching the sunrise / sunset

7️⃣ eat at food trucks — the Hawaiian islands have an incredible food truck scene with gourmet eats for not a lot of money (favorite food trucks include Haleiwa no 7, Ahi Limo, Aloha Shrimp, and Da Bald Guy)

8️⃣ use Groupon and multi-attraction passes like the Go Oahu Card to save money on activities

9️⃣ book your trip in shoulder season months — late March through the beginning of May, and from September until the week before Thanksgiving

how do you save money when traveling to in demand places like Hawaii?? ...
