Foolproof Ways To Save Money On Your Next Trip To Maui
By Leslie Veliz
VACATIONS
Off-Season
Three million tourists visit Maui annually, most of which visit during winter and summer. Visiting during these seasons means everything comes with a higher price tag.
Instead, travel in spring or fall, Maui's off-seasons. Temperatures are still in the 70s, crowds will be smaller, and the prices will be lower since there's less of a demand.
Attractions
Skip tourist traps like luaus, snorkeling excursions, and farm tours, which can cost hundreds of dollars. Instead, enjoy many of Maui's budget-friendly attractions.
Maui Walking Tours offers free tours of Kihei and Wailuku, and many beaches are free to visit. If you have a rental car, driving the scenic 64-mile Road to Hana is a must.
Hostel/Camp
Maui's beachside resorts are expensive. Instead, consider a hostel like the Aloha Surf Hostel, which is under $200 a night and has shared dorms and private rooms.
If you're on a tighter budget, you can camp on Maui. Wai'ānapanapa State Park offers cabin rentals for $100 per night, though you'll need to pack your own necessities.
