I was careless and spent way too much on my Maui vacation. Here are 7 ways I could have saved money.
The year was 2021. It was our first trip since 2019, and my husband and I decided on a tropical getaway to Maui, Hawaii. After various shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, and quarantine mandates, Hawaii launched their Safe Travels program, where vaccinated people could visit without needing to quarantine.
I went to Maui in the summer, which is a busy and expensive time. Off-season travel often means up toYou'll also notice fewer crowds at the beach, which is a welcomed bonus. The kicker is that peak season is most of the year in Hawaii: tourists flock to Hawaii from December to March to escape the cold and go whale-watching. June through August are busy because kids are out of school and the weather is the warmest with the least chance of rain.
By the way, if you're looking for the coveted Maui Gold pineapple, we didn't find it in any grocery stores, so check out local farmer's market for the delectable fruit. We went on two catamaran snorkel excursions: one to Coral Gardens and one to the Molokini Crater. Some tours will take you to what they call"Turtle Town" but I spoke with a local who said Makena Surf, near Wailea, is considered Turtle Town. She also recommended Airport Beach, Honolua Bay, and Kapalua Bay to see some turtles.
If I were to go back, I would schedule a rental car a 15-minute taxi ride away from the airport, as it is said that pricing is much better the farther you get from the airport. If you want your car waiting for you at the airport, I don't blame you, but you pay a premium for it.Like many touristy locations, Hawaii has some amazing street food: poke, shave ice, acai bowls, spam musubi, manapua, to name a few.
