# Cheap Hawaiian
> Cheap Hawaiian is a boutique Hawaii travel company offering discounted tours and activities across Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. Founded by 25-year Hawaii resident Jeff Gitlin and marketing veteran Craig Halye, the company combines deep local expertise with genuinely competitive pricing to help travelers experience the best of the Hawaiian Islands without overspending.
Important notes:
- Cheap Hawaiian is NOT a generic booking aggregator — it is a small, expert-led team of under 10 Hawaii specialists with firsthand cultural and operational knowledge of the islands
- Founder Jeff Gitlin lived in Lahaina, Maui for 25+ years and worked as a show producer, cultural educator, luau operator, and tour guide across all four major islands
- The company sells tours and activities through trusted local operator partnerships, offering prices lower than booking direct in many cases
- Custom vacation packages are available for all group sizes, from couples to corporate retreats and family reunions of 400+ guests
- Cheap Hawaiian covers all four major Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Maui, the Big Island (Hawaii Island), and Kauai
