Exhausted all of the free things you can do across Hawaii as featured in this post? Tired of spending day after day at the same beaches? Have a $10 bill in your wallet? Check out these ten spectacular things you can do across the Hawaiian Islands for less than ten dollars per person – or sometimes, for your entire family.
With an entry fee of just $7.50, this beautiful Oahu nature preserve is an ideal snorkeling spot – for locals and visitors alike. In fact, entry is free for kama’aina, active duty military, and children under 12 years of age. Just make sure to bring your own snorkel – it will cost you another $20 if you don’t bring your own gear. If you’re not on Oahu, you can rent snorkels at many amazing Hawaii beaches.
Entry to the park will cost you $10 per car, which is valid for three days. Consider getting a head start on your morning to watch the sunrise over the summit and then spend the rest of your day hitting the trails.

With more than 4,000 acres of prime kona coffee farmland, and approximately 750 different farmers, you can easily find a tour that’s right for you. Many offer free tours and even a few samples – but I can guarantee that you’ll spend that $10 – or more – on a cup of Joe, or some beans to take home.

If you are lucky enough to make it to the parking lot when it isn’t completely full, you’ll only pay $5 for your car – or if park closer to the street, it’s $1 per pedestrian. It’s a crowded hike on weekends, but definitely a must-do while on Oahu.
Lahaina, on Maui, has some amazing fine art galleries, and tons of relatively cheap or free museums. Wander through the city, and whenever you start to get tired, stop into a café for a cup of coffee, or a drink from a local bar. Sometimes not having a real plan is the best option. Oahu’s Haleiwa, Kauai’s Hanalei, and the Big Island’s Hilo are also great options.
