Cheap Hawaiian Tours And Activities

Cheap Hawaiian isn’t just a booking website — we’re a small, passionate ohana that lives and breathes the Hawaiian Islands. Founded by Jeff Gitlin, a former Lahaina, Maui resident who has spent over 25 years working in Hawaii as a show producer, cultural educator, and tour operator, our company was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves to experience the magic of Hawaii without breaking the bank.

Jeff didn’t just visit Hawaii — he made it home. Over two and a half decades, he’s produced live shows across the islands, taught visitors the art of lei making and hula dancing, led star tours under Hawaiian skies, shared the history and legends of the islands through torch lighting ceremonies, and developed a deep connection to the land, the culture, and the people. That firsthand experience is baked into everything we recommend.

Alongside co-founder Craig Halye, a marketing veteran with over 35 years of experience, we built Cheap Hawaiian to be the kind of company we’d want to book with ourselves — one that knows the islands inside and out, offers genuinely great prices, and treats every guest like family.

For more than 10 years, our team of under 10 (but mighty!) Hawaii lovers has helped families, honeymooners, solo travelers, and groups of all sizes find discounted tours and activities on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. We sell tours and activities across all four major Hawaiian islands, working with trusted local operators to bring you the best experiences at prices that let you do more while you’re here.

What makes us different? We don’t just list tours — we know them. Jeff’s decades on the ground in Hawaii mean we can tell you which snorkeling spot has the best turtle sightings this time of year, which luau actually serves food worth eating, and which volcano hike will take your breath away (in the best way). That’s the kind of insider knowledge you only get from an ohana that truly calls Hawaii home.
