– Entertainment coupon books are on sale for $7 with free shipping with promo code SAVENOW. The 2021 edition is the final printed version before the coupon service transitions to digital-only after June 23, 2021. For our insights as well as readers’ thoughts on this coupon book read our article Hawaii Entertainment Coupons – Worth the Price? Slight spoiler alert, we only recommend them for Oahu.
– Rental cars continue to be in short supply in Hawaii and beyond. Yesterday, the Hawaii Tourism Authority announced a page with lists of alternate transportation options by island. These alternatives include shuttle services, rideshares services (like Uber) and bike rentals.
– The price for visiting Oahu’s Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve may be going up for out-of-state visitors. At the start of this year, the fee was $7.50 for out-of-state visitor. Earlier this spring, the fee was raised to $12 per person for out-of-state visitors. This past week, Oahu lawmakers approved a bill to raise the fee to $25 for out-of-state visitors. If implemented, that would result in a 333% rate hike for visitors in less than a year. Residents may enter at no cost. We understand that the county mayor will need to provide the final approval before implementation. We’re watching to see when/if this rate hike goes into effect.
