I just booked a Jeep with the discount company

Can’t yet register with auto slash, dates don’t go far enough yet for our travel time

Will check that as well as Costco in the next few months

Thanks for the info
I think you will find that as the time gets closer rates will drop. I first booked our SUV for Maui for March 2020 in late August this year. Rate for two weeks was $817. Most current rate is $720. I expect it to drop a few more times before our trip.

Agree with vacationtime1. We bought snorkeling masks from amazon, the full mask kind. They pack easy. Don't even use fins, I look like an idiot trying to go backwards in the water. Use your park pass both islands really have cool national parks or monuments. We always buy most of our food and alcohol at costco. Panululu bakery in the big island is to die for and the bread makes very good French toast and sandwiches. I always bring a carryon that I feel with bread to bring back. Buy the Hawaii revealed book for both islands, you can get them on amazon.

It is a lot easier and safer to put your fins on in the water. You also avoid all the sand getting trapped in your fins. Just walk in and put them on while you float.

Panululu bakery in the big island

That would be the Punalu'u Bake Shop.
