Avant de partir
Depuis l'aéroport
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is about 6 miles west of Waikiki. Options include: TheBus #20 ($3.00, takes ~1 hour), shared shuttle vans like Roberts Hawaii (~$16 one-way), taxis (~$40-50), and ride-shares like Uber/Lyft (~$35-45 to Waikiki).
Se déplacer
Waikiki and Downtown are very walkable for tourists, with most major attractions, shops, and restaurants within a compact area. Other neighborhoods require transportation.
Conseils sur place
- Rent a car for at least one day to explore the North Shore and Windward Coast properly; the bus takes much longer.
- For a less crowded Diamond Head experience, arrive right at the 6:00 AM opening time, especially on weekends.
- Always remove your shoes before entering someone's home, and it's polite to do so before entering some small shops or B&Bs.
