With a thought-out plan, a trip to another Hawaiian island can be around $200, says BYUH student BY LEXI LANGLEY

hile students would like the opportunity to travel to a neighboring island, or “island hop,” the potentially high costs can be a bit discouraging. Here are some ways students of BYU–Hawaii have afforded island hopping while on a college budget.
Kauai Denzyl Dacayanan, a freshman exercise & sport science major from Las Vegas, Nevada, planned a trip with his friends to Kauai last semester. Dacayanan said he encourages students to include as many people as possible when planning to island hop because it saves money. He explained the majority of costs such as food, hotel and rental car fees were split between himself and his friends. Dacayanan said he and his friends were able to go hiking, surfing and interact with community members living on Kauai. “Of course, it’s a beautiful place, but the people there, you can’t find them anywhere else.”
