Start looking now. Prices are out of this world now. Prices are up 300% since precovid times.

Buddy just came back. The place he rented for over 20 years was $260 US / night. Slept 8. Located in Wailea. Cost now$860/night. It’s an expensive area.


We stayed last in Maui at Maui Kamaole for $140/night 15 years ago. 2 weeks now is over $8000US. Kihei is general cheapest in Hawaii. Nice beach in this spot but often windy by afternoon with blowing sand.

The big island we’ve stayed both sides. Not a ton of beaches. Better fishing. Manga snorkel is cool. Also very expensive and lots of condo rentals and super expensive resorts.

Oahu is like going to any American city with a big beach. Night are constant sirens of emergency vehicles.

Best island bar none has to be Kauai. They filmed Gillian’s Island there. They filmed the first Jurassic park scenery shots there. Great snorkelling. Nice beaches. Prices are crazy though.

For a family of 5 with food, airfare, car rental, accommodation, activities… i would be budgeting $12,000+ Cdn/week.

You may be wise to see a travel agent as they may have better deals available to them.
