Hawaii Budget Breakdown – The Ultimate Cost Guide
Since Kauai wraps up our Hawaii adventure, I’m adding one last special post—a full cost breakdown of our trip! Here, you’ll find all our expenses categorized into some sections.
We went full low-cost mode, not even spending just one night in a hotel/hostel. We slept in rental cars, and on Kauai, we stayed in a house via trustedhousesitters.com.
Kauai - Hawaii
Welcome to Kauai, the “Garden Isle”—a place where towering emerald cliffs, secret waterfalls, and golden beaches create a real-life adventure movie set (no wonder Hollywood loves it here!). Whether you’re hiking the legendary Kalalau Trail, chasing waterfalls in Waimea Canyon, or soaring over the jaw-dropping Napali Coast, Kauai delivers untamed beauty at every turn.

Maui - Hawaii
Maui isn’t just another tropical paradise—it’s an island of contrasts and adventure. One moment, you’re standing above the clouds at Haleakalā, watching the sunrise from a volcanic crater, and the next, you’re navigating the twisting curves of the Hana Highway, chasing waterfalls and black sand beaches. From lush rainforests and towering bamboo groves to hidden snorkeling spots and sea turtle encounters, Maui offers a little bit of everything. Whether you’re hiking through lava fields, lounging on golden beaches, or tasting fresh pineapple straight from the farm, one thing is certain—Maui stays with you long after you’ve left.
O'ahu- Hawaii
With everything you can do on this Island we spent an unforgettable time there. We spent time in the ocean with sharks, we were probably between few hundreds of people who saw Stairway to Heaven as a last. We’ve visited amazing waterfalls or historic parts of Pearl Harbor. We’ve hiked some beatiful peaks such as 1st peak of Olomana Trail or Koko Head or Crouching Lion and we also saw a few beautiful sunsets or sunrises.
Big Island - Hawaii
With the time difference, we arrive on the Big Island at 8:05PM, pick up the rental car, go shopping and head to the southernmost point of the USA, where we also plan to sleep. We are still dealing with the problem of hotspot not working on the new esim, we try different settings of the phone and nothing works, we write to the support of the provider and the problem is solved just by restarting of the phone, haha
