Please remember These are just fun facts that we've found on the web, but you can't always trust the internet, so some of these facts could be false.
And this is meant to be a fun video based on these findings, so don't hate and please correct us if we're wrong!

Aloha!
That aside, let's dive right in!

1. Don't Pay For Expensive Hotels.
Expensive resorts may offer amazing amenities, bars, and restaurants, but if you're planning on spending your days exploring the island, going on tours, hiking, or just relaxing on the beach, you won't be using the expensive amenities that you've paid for. To get the full Hawaiian experience, book the first half of your holiday in an affordable hotel, explore the island and go on excursions, and the second half in a nice resort, where you can relax, this will give you the best of both worlds.

2. Don't Go During High Season.
Hawaii is expensive! but even more so in the high season, if you can avoid it, you could save a lot of money on flights, hotels, and activities. If you can plan your trip in September through mid-December or from mid-April to June, not only will it be cheaper but it will be less crowded and easier to book activities, attractions, and guided excursions.

3. Don't Underbudget.
You may have booked your flights, a rental car, and an all-inclusive hotel, but don't think the costs end there. When planning your vacation you need to budget for: resort fees, additional attractions and activities, food costs when you're not in the resort, and parking!
Hotel parking for your rental car is expensive, especially in Waikiki, and because it's charged on a day-by-day basis, it quickly creeps up and you can suddenly find yourself paying two weeks' rental and parking for a car you use on a just couple of occasions.
Try to plan all your car excursions on successive days, this way you'll be able to save money by hiring the car for fewer days and paying fewer days for parking.

4. Don't Just Eat At Chain Restaurants.
Going on holiday and just eating in Mcdonald's or KFC is just stupid and wrong,
When Hawaii has Kalua Pulled Pork, Barbeque Huli Huli Chicken, Garlic Shrimp,
Kalbi Short Ribs, and Manapua steam buns filled with curried chicken, hotdogs, or barbequed pork
why would you eat a big mac?

5. Don't Leave It Too Late.
While most bars and clubs stay open till 2 am, and some are allowed to close at 4, Hawaiian restaurants are all closed around 9 pm, so if you turn up around 8 pm, you probably won't get served.
If you want to have a late supper out, make sure you phone the restaurant beforehand and make a reservation for the latest time possible, this way you won't find yourself hungry and angry in a street full of closed restaurants rushing around, looking for a grocery shop.

6. Don't Take Rocks, Shells, Or Sand Home.
Hawaii has a limited number of rocks, shells, and sand, in fact, Waikiki beach is almost entirely manmade and erosion and climate change cause it to lose at least 30 cm of the beach a year.
Hawaii receives millions of tourists every year, if everyone were to take a jar of sand home with them the island's beaches would disappear in no time.
In addition to this, it is considered bad luck to take rocks and sand from the island and those who do will incur the wrath of Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of fire and Volcanoes.
This may seem a bit ridiculous, but before you laugh, there might actually be some truth to it.
Every year, thousands of packages containing sand and rocks are mailed back to the island addressed to Pele and pleading for her forgiveness.
Rocks have been received from all over the world including Japan, Australia, and even Germany, with postage costs sometimes reaching as high as $100!

7. Don't Pick The Wrong Island.
Hawaii has 4 main islands and each offers a different experience, make sure you pick the right one for your home base and don't try to visit them all during your stay because you'll end up spending most of your vacation time traveling.
Big Island is the biggest and has the bluest waters, and active volcanoes, although you may not see actual lava flow.
Kauai has tropical rainforests to explore, the Napali Coast, and Queens Bath.
Maui has whale watching, snorkelling, and water sports.
and Oahu has Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, and Pearl Harbor.
