Hawaii in 10 Days: Day-by-Day Itinerary with Budget (Printable + iPad)

Hawaii is easy to plan badly: too many islands, a rental car where you do not need one, and the best sights sold out before you arrive. This plan sorts the order, the timing and the costs for you.

This printable guide gives you 10 days and 9 nights across Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, planned from breakfast to dinner, with the cost of every stop and a realistic budget. Fees and prices were checked in September 2026, and the plan is built around today's conditions after the September 2026 storms.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• A day-by-day plan: 3 days on Oahu, 3 on Maui and 4 on the Big Island, with the inter-island flights and car pick-ups built in
• The cost of every stop: admissions, parking, tours and meal ranges
• A Google Maps link for every sight: tap it in the iPad edition for directions
• Where to stay: an Our pick, a budget and a splurge hotel on each of the three islands
• A book-ahead checklist: Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Haleakalā, luaus and more, with the official booking sites
• Plan B: what to swap for rain, closures, storms and sold-out reservations
• A Kauai add-on: a 4-day plan that works while the state parks there are closed
• Flights, cars and moving days explained, plus beaches by island, foods to try, a safety guide and a packing checklist
• A full budget sheet with a column for what you actually spend
• Two editions: a printable PDF and an iPad edition with a tappable contents page

PERFECT FOR

• First-time visitors to Hawaii with about 10 days
• Anyone who wants the order and timing worked out
• Travellers who want a realistic budget before they book
• A gift for someone with a Hawaii trip booked

PAIRS WELL WITH
