Here's what we spent in 8 days travelling in Hawaii

Updated: Feb 1, 2023

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.
