Many posts on here saying Hawaii is absurdly expensive. What am I missing? Currently deciding on honeymoon for February. As opposed to a 4 day all inclusive in the Caribbean for $4500, I can get two round trip tickets to Hawaii for $500 each, planning a 10 day trip in HI. The food is more expensive than mainland but not that much. My partner and I don’t drink alcohol either so that’s money saved. Airbnbs are $150/nigh…

I’m going to Hawaii (oahu) in late October and want to do the tourist stuff, but also don’t want to do anything that doesn’t necessarily support native Hawaiians. Is there a luau that isn’t put on by a bunch of white people where the money goes to conservation efforts for Hawaii?

I’m going to Hawaii (oahu) in late October and want to do the tourist stuff, but also don’t want to do anything that doesn’t necessarily support native Hawaiians. Is there a luau that isn’t put on by a bunch of white people where the money goes to conservation efforts for Hawaii? Basically, I want to experience Hawaii, but not at the expense of the people that live there. Unfortunately, I am having to stay at one of those bigass hotels due to financial reasons, but my wife and I want to get some authentic, but culturally supportive (not exploitative) experiences. Any suggestions? submitted by /u/maniakzack …

Hawaii calls for tourists to visit Maui as unemployment claims surge I know there’s been a lot of posts and comments saying people shouldn’t visit Maui or even the entire state of Hawaii because it takes resources away from residents. Hawaii is now specifically asking you to come spend your tourist dollars. Just avoid west Maui. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/25/hawaii-calls-for-tourists-to-visit-maui-as-unemployme…

LPT: How to help the Maui fire victims if you’re not in Hawaii I hope this is allowed as a LPT, because Maui and its people need all the help they can get. If you’re not on Maui or a neighbor island, please DO NOT send physical donations unless you are sending them to a specific person who can take it to a donation center or distribute it themselves. Don’t ship things directly to donation centers. Please i…
