It’s no secret that Hawaiʻi is one of the most expensive U.S. destinations to visit when it comes to airline fares and accommodation rates. Food, rental cars, and organized tours are also not cheap. So, in that sense, you’ll never hear Hawaiʻi described as a cheap destination.
Maui wildfire update (September 8, 2023)
Governor Josh Green, M.D., today declared in a statewide address that the West Maui communities of Kā‘anapali, Nāpili, Honokōwai, and Kapalua will fully reopen on Sunday, October 8, two months after the August 8 wildfires that destroyed Lahaina.
Hawai‘i residents and visitors are encouraged to make travel plans to Maui and support the island’s businesses, restaurants, retail outlets, attractions, and accommodations. Lahaina itself will remain fully closed to the public until further notice out of respect to the town’s residents.
