While waking up to the sound of waves and lying in the Hawaiian sun may sound like a dream come true, the reality is that many people pick a different vacation spot because of the price tag. However, with lots of pre-planning and a little bit of strategic saving, this dream vacation could become a reality. At Wailea Ekahi, our goal is for you to experience all that the beautiful island of Maui has to offer. Keep reading to learn how you can visit Maui on a budget and enjoy the beauty and adventure Hawaii has to offer without breaking the bank.
Cooking In Rather than Dining Out
One major benefit of renting a condo like the ones we offer at Wailea Ekahi is the convenient kitchen. Take advantage of the full kitchen and consider making lots of your meals at the condo, treating yourself to the occasional local meal, of course. Finding the perfect balance between eating at a restaurant and cooking yourself will save you money, plus, you’ll get to shop at the local markets and experience the fresh produce Maui has to offer.
Lots of Beach Days
The best thing about Maui is how many low-cost or free activities there are, with one of them being the beach! There’s no shortage of outdoor activities for you and your family to enjoy, whether you’re lounging at one of the beautiful beaches or hiking a scenic trail. There are also plenty of free local events, such as farmers markets and festivals, allowing you to experience Maui’s fun community. While the occasional excursion is always fun, save extra cash by enjoying nature at no cost.
Go Snorkeling
Snorkel gear can be rented inexpensively, providing you with a day full of underwater exploration. This is a great activity for any age, so if you’re traveling with kids — this is a great option. Maui’s underwater views are something everyone has to experience at least once!
Scenic Drives and Sunsets
If you decide to rent a car, take advantage of the beautiful landscape with a drive along the Hana Highway or Upcountry routes. You’ll get to see the other side of Maui, beyond the ocean and beach bliss. Not only are the waterfalls and valleys sights to see, but Maui has some of the best sunsets. Take a road trip around the island as the sun sets to experience breathtaking views without spending a dime.
Group Rentals
If you’re traveling with a group or multiple families, don’t miss out on the discounted prices that you can get with group rentals. For example, if you want to go kayaking or paddleboarding, group rates are usually available and will make the activities much more affordable. Plus, you’ll get to share unforgettable memories with your family or friends.
