Bottom line is that Hawaii is expensive. Most good hotels will be $300 a night or more and then you usually have resort fees and expensive parking on top of that. Food and beverages will cost more than you expect – many restaurants have websites so you’ll want to look at those to get an idea for your food budget. Your best bet is to do as much research as you can to try to find a good deal.

Since you have some time before you leave, I recommend getting some type of hotel credit card, like a Marriott Rewards card. If you us that card exclusively between now and your trip you can probably rack up a couple of free hotel nights in rewards points.

Try to determine which islands you want to visit. There are plenty of inter island flights and ferries so island hopping is easy, even as a day trip if the islands are close. Once you have an estimated itinerary then you can do more in depth research on those particular islands.

I was married on O’ahu a few years ago. Check out Hawaiiweddings.net. They are the best!! It was our first time going to Hawaii, and we were really nervous about getting married there. The took care of everything for us. We chose our location (we had our choice of a sunset wedding, waterfall wedding, church ceremony, sandy beach location…the list goes on). We also received flower lei’s, over 200 pictures, 2 DVD’s, champagne, a wedding cake, 2-hour limo, music….and much more – for around $1000. Our pictures are great, as is our DVD. They also took care of reserving our dinner reservations and my hair & makeup appointments.

The only things we had to do was choose our date, our location, our package, and the color for our flowers. The wedding planner even had the flowers for my hair matched to the lei’s and the cake. They are wonderful!!

Their website is Hawaiiweddings.net.

Hawaii is an amazing place to get married! You won’t regret being married there!

I always seem to find the best packages through Pleasant Holidays.
Also I would suggest hiking to the to top of Diamond Head. The view is fantastic!

You asked this yesterday! Here was my response then – seriously, give them a call.

I was a Hawaii bride in June 2006 – what a great way to do it. So beautiful and romantic!

We went through a website no one has mentioned here, and that’s a shame -

They are the BEST. They were friendly, responsive to emails and calls, helpful from start to finish, even telling me things I hadn’t thought to ask. They offer several suggested locations to choose from, or you can pick your own. Their photos were phenomenal, and best of all, they are AFFORDABLE for even those on a budget – they have plans for all budget types.

Give them a call, you won’t be sorry. Best wishes, and Aloha!

You can check out the below website for hawaiian prices Later!!

Two weeks in Hawaii plan on around $1,000 hotel plus flight ($500.00). Flight prices will depend on where you are flying from. The prices are gave are for flying from the east coast. Look around on-line b/c u can find some reasonable prices you just have to research. There is no currency exchange if you are from the United States. The locals are friendly. Hike Diamond Head. Take Hawaii SuperFerry to other islands. Definitely you have to go to Pearl Harbor. If you want to see whales go in the winter months when they come from Alaska. Go to Hanamua Bay Nature Perserve for snorkeling. Hope this helps.

Try this . . . it is often a local favorite if just for the pictures. The garden is normally free.

I would got to Kauai if you’ve never been before. Oahu is too touristy and crowded, at least in my opinion. It doesn’t maintain the true feeling of Hawaii. If you want pristine Hawaii, go to Kauai, there’s still plenty to do and it’s not as crowded. I don’t know of any packages, but I’m sure if you do some online research, you will find something affordable. Have fun!

Oahu is your best bet for your first time. Try Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays they have many packages that will help you out and competitive prices. Here are some tips about Oahu.
The cool thing about Oahu is that there is everything to do. You can go to Waikiki and take a catamaran booze Cruise for $10.00 all you can drink. Just walking the strip at Waikiki at night is fun with all the street performers and people watching. Good shopping. Great surfing and diving all over the island. Sea Plane and glider flights at reasonable prices. Hit the north shore and the Haleiwa area and see some of the best waves in the world. And if it’s flat the fishing and snorkeling is spectacular. There are water falls, parks, concerts, and an amazing area of Strip clubs. (Not to my taste but available). Try Dukes for cocktails at Waikiki on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful people watching. Go to the Hawaii Yacht club on Friday night and ask for a ride on one of the big sailboats for the beer can races. Right after the races there are Fireworks on the point at the Sheraton. Have Lunch at tropical licks. It’s a cart by the Chart House that serves some the best tacos in the world. Tell Jim that Randy said Hi. The list goes on and on. Absolutely one of the best vacations in the world. I am envious. It will be awhile before I get back there.

PS there is a great old restaurant on Sand Island. La Mariana. It is this Great Tiki bar and it might be the last Real Tiki bar in the Islands. Sand Island is kind of Isolated and La Mariana serves a small Yacht club there. The Place is all Bamboo and blown up Puffer fish. Gorgeous waitresses and the old Lady that owns the place comes down, holds court and greets her guests. The food is just spectacular. With thick and hot Juicy steaks, Ice cold beer and great cocktails. There is a small piano bar and I swear that the same guy has been playing that piano for thirty years. The place was built at the beginning of WW2 and really hasn’t changed that much. The old Bamboo has a kind of inner glow that only comes with age and care. It’s really great. Most tourists never find it because it’s off the beaten track. Check it out. You won’t regret it and the price is right.
