Getting to Waikīkī from the Airport
There are several options getting to Waikīkī from the airport.
We are happy to recommend Aloha Airport Shuttle (Toll Free: 855-538-3355; www.alohaairportshuttle.com). The cost is just $40 for a party of 4 from the Airport to Waikīkī!

Walking - Getting around Waikīkī is fairly easy. You can walk to most places or grab one of the many taxis for longer trips.
Bicycle - Rent a bicycle, but just be sure to watch for traffic and make sure that the bicycle is well locked at all times, as bike theft is unfortunately common in Waikīkī and around Oʻahu. Hawaiian Style Rentals and Sales has a great reputation.

Moped - Renting a moped for a day can be fun. Just please stay safe, as moped accidents are a common occurence on Oʻahu. Hawaiian Style Rentals and Sales also rents mopeds as well.
Bus - Oʻahu has an award-winning island-wide bus system, affectionately known as TheBus. The service is very good within the city of Honolulu, and is a great, affordable option for travel in and around Waikīkī. Wait times may increase the further you get from Honolulu/Waikīkī. The cost is $3.00 per person per ride (includes 2.5 hours unlimited transfers) or $7.50 per day unlimited. See information and routes at http://www.thebus.org/
Renting a Car
If you decide to rent a car, be sure you have parking at your rental. Parking in Waikīkī is difficult most of the time. There is parking along Ala Wai Boulevard, which runs along the Ala Wai Canal on the north side of Waikīkī. Just make sure to read the parking signs, as they clean the streets twice a week in the morning and they will give you a ticket and tow your car.
