If you don't have room in your suitcase for souvenirs for your extended family, the office staff and your neighbors, don't spend time in the shops. If you plan to attend a lu'au, shop around for the best price. See our Lu'au Guide for a list of some of the best lu'au providers in the Islands. At a lu'au, take your own photos instead of buying the official lu'au photographer's shots. If you can, bring your own sports equipment.
Rental prices can be high on items such as tennis rackets, golf clubs, etc.
Visit our Activities Guide for a wide range of activity companies and on-line booking options. If you have friends in the military who live in Hawai'i, ask if they can help you rent equipment and book activities through a MWR office. Prices for most activities and major attractions are discounted for the military.
