Hawaii was one of those places that's been on my bucket list for years so it felt incredible to finally tick it off. After spending the past 5 months travelling SE Asia we were prepared for the prices to be significantly higher but we were still a little shocked by how much we spent. Here is exactly what we spent in 8 days whilst travelling on Oahu, Hawaii.
*prices are all in Australian Dollars
Accommodation: $710.73
Things to consider: we collaborated with one resort and we did receive a discount on our kombi hire.
Food: $472.51
Things to consider: food bills can vary a lot depending on whether you are eating our of cooking at home.
Experiences: $0
Things to consider: we are not big tour people, we much prefer to explore a place ourselves. We hired a kombi camper so we were able to avoid tours by driving ourselves places.
Travel: $295.10
Things to consider: This price does not include our flights. It includes Ubers and taxis.
Laundry: $6.23
Things to consider: We only did one load of laundry.
Shopping: $91.09
Things to consider: this covers any non essential items we purchased like beach toys, clothing etc.
Bank Fees: $21.32
Things to consider: We bank with ING so we do NOT incur any international fees for using our card and we receive 4 free ATM withdrawals per month and after that it is $5. This fee was from booking a flight from our Australian bank account that did not include free international transactions.
Flights: $1769.29
Things to consider: We are a family of 3 and we always book the cheapest flight available. This was a flight from Australia to Hawaii.
Visa: $65.62
Things to consider: This amount covers 90 days in the United States for 2 people.
Medical: $0
That brings our grand total for 8 days of holidaying in Hawaii to $3431.89. Our next stop is road tripping the west coast of the USA so stay tuned for how much spend over there.
The budget breakdown for Hawaii travel was very helpful and realistic. During my dissertation period, I once used an Affordable dissertation service to manage workload while planning future trips. Honest travel budgeting like this helps readers prepare better and avoid surprises. Careful planning always makes travel more relaxing and enjoyable
This was really practical because it breaks down real travel expenses in a clear way. I once used do my assignment for me during a busy semester, which gave me time later to read travel budgeting posts like this. The cost breakdown makes travel feel more realistic and less confusing. Hawaii always sounds dreamy but planning matters a lot. Honest budget posts like this are very helpful for planning trips. It showed me how self care matters. It helped me understand large projects better. Nice post . Your post make me smile.
Your breakdown of Hawaii travel costs felt very honest and easy to relate to. When I did a short trip last year, I was also juggling deadlines and decided to do my assignment with some help so I could enjoy the experience without stress. It made me see that planning both time and money well can really change how much you enjoy a trip like this.
