Honolulu and Waikiki Transport on Best Ways to Travel within the City

The best way to get around Oahu is by car and fortunately car rental rates are fairly reasonable. The Honolulu airport is conveniently situated long far from downtown Honolulu and airport transfer Hawaii will take you there in comfort and style. Walking to some locales is possible and you can also take the public bus systems or the Waikiki Trolley to get around Honolulu. Taxies and services like Uber and Lyft are available but fares can mount up.

Private shuttles

The best way to get to and from the airport is using a private shuttle service. A Waikiki Airport Shuttle will take you to your destination and take care of everything you’ll need from extra space for a bike or golf clubs, child seats and more. You can look out the window on the drive and gain your first impression of what lies in store for you. GoGo Private Shuttle is a popular choice.

Rental cars

A car rental is a good option for traveling around the city and the surrounding areas. Consider avoiding hotels that charge extra for on-site parking and remember that the roads can get congested so it is best to travel outside of rush hours. Parking can also be expensive and scarce – another reason to travel at times when fewer people are traveling and need to find parking.

The Bus

If you want to avoid traffic congestion and finding parking, Oahu has a public bus system. TheBus is easy to use and has extensive routes covering most of the island. The buses usually run every 15 to 30 minutes although times do vary according to the lines. Exact routes and hours are available on TheBus website. One-way adult fares are payable on boarding and seniors receive discounted fares.

The Waikiki Trolley

The Waikiki Trolley visits many different Honolulu attractions and is easy, convenient and popular. There are five different lines that stop at various attractions, including some hotels. There is a scenic tour, a historic tour, a shopping tour, and an island tour. You can take the blue line to popular Hanauma Bay for a day of snorkeling where you can see hundreds of fish species swimming in the shallow reef. You can buy one-, four- or seven-day passes and reduced rates are available for seniors and children.

Taxi

You can travel around by taxi but this is an expensive option and you will usually have to call ahead to book. Fares are regulated locally regardless of the cab company to an initial fee and an amount per hour travelled. Each piece of luggage will also cost you an extra amount.
