Yes, in that vicinity, though I don’t think Aulani offers steak and eggs.I paid $45 for a steak & egg breakfast yesterday at Moana Surfrider. It was the most delicious thing ever, would this be comparable to Aulani prices?
Yeah, good point. It’s just hard to find the good ones, especially if you don’t live there. Are you referring to a place near Aulani? If do, what is it?!
Hummm. Maybe we WON'T be making eggs every morning on our April trip....CNN reported that the price of 1 dozen eggs in Hawaii is $10.99. There was no specific location given. The price of eggs is up everywhere due to chickens dying from Avian Bird Flu, but Hawaii is the current highest price.

It’s a 5-10 minute walk along the path overlooking the lagoons. It’s beautiful.Dumb question - do most of you walk over to the Marriott if you're dining at one of their restaurants or do you drive?? I wasn't sure how long the walk would be?
My daughter and husband are going to Hawaii for their 20th anniversary. Your itinerary sounds just like their's. They are going to Maui as their main Island, then to Kauai for a few days and to do the excursions. They are staying in nice hotels too, but dont' remember which ones. They know it is super expensive for everything, but have been saving for years to do this. I hope you have a great time. Please let us know how you liked your itinerary and any information I can give to my daughter about her trip coming in September. Thank youWell, I'm not sure what class hotel Aulani is considered (just googled....it's a four star resort)...but we're going to Hawaii for the first time ever....for our 25th wedding anniversary. Our trip has morphed a bit, at first we were doing Maui and Kauai, then just Kauai, but now we're spending 5 nights on the south shore of Kauai at a 4 star Ko'a Kea in the Ocean Front One Bedroom Suite. And five nights on the BI at Auberge's 5 star Mauna Lani in an Ocean Front room (the room is nearly 700 sq ft though...so it's a big room), and we're spending 15K on our 10 nights...taxes and resort fees included.
Then you start looking at excursions...etc....and that's all really expensive as well. I booked us for a deluxe valance helicopter tour....that alone was $714 each! I've looked at some of the menus of restaurants that we've booked...and again, almost all are 30-50% more than we just paid on a 5 star vacation in Costa Rica.
Obviously, I think you can spend *way* less to travel to Hawaii if you stay in less fancy hotels, or Air BnB it and cook in your unit....etc. But we've just concluded it's just a very expensive place to visit. But...we're excited to be going .
I'm also booking a two week trip to South Africa....5 days in Cape Town, 9 days at Safari Lodges....all transport, excursions in Cape Town, all meals except for lunches and dinners in Cape Town included (and obviously the safari game drives are included)....and that trip is coming in at 30K (no flights included). But still....on a daily rate with excursions/entertainment/food/ground transportation included...it's definitely a cheaper trip than Hawaii.
When going to Kauai, make sure to visit Waimea Canyon.My daughter and husband are going to Hawaii for their 20th anniversary. Your itinerary sounds just like their's.

Thank you very much for sharing. I will be sure to let my daughter know about these sites. They sound beautifulWhen going to Kauai, make sure to head up to Weimei Canyon
When going to Kauai, make sure to visit Waimea Canyon.
Ke'e beach in the North-West is wonderfully quiet, and the Limahuli gardens right beside it are a great place to check out both native and non native plant species, and learn a bunch. https://ntbg.org/gardens/limahuli/
As much as I loved the beaches, the Canyon, Ke'e beach/Limahuli, and the Kilauea Lighthouse were the highlights of my trip there.
