Oʻahu Travel Tips

Getting to Oʻahu

Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oʻahu is Hawaiʻi’s major airport, serving as the entry point for most of Hawaiʻi’s visitors. All major domestic carriers and many international carriers serve Oʻahu, so you can get here from just about anywhere.

Staying on Oʻahu

Finding accommodations is easy on Oʻahu. You’ll find everything here from hotels, luxury resorts, boutiques, rentals and bed and breakfasts. Waikīkī is where you’ll find the majority of Oʻahu’s hotels and resorts. Beyond Waikīkī, you can find one luxury resort in east Honolulu (The Kāhala Hotel & Resort), one on the North Shore (Turtle Bay Resort) and one on the Leeward Coast in the Kō Olina Resort area (J.W. Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa), as well as rental cottages and condos throughout the island.

Anytime of year is a good time to visit Oʻahu. The average temperature here is between 75?-85? F.  Summer, between April and November, is warmer and drier while winter, between December and March, is a bit cooler. Trade winds keep things comfortable year-round. It is generally drier on the western (leeward) side and wetter on the eastern (windward) side.

Traveling on Oʻahu

You can get around by car rental, shuttle, taxi or Oʻahu’s public transportation system. Many visitors also enjoy taking bus tours to conveniently explore the Island. Others rent mopeds and motorcycles. But to really experience all that Oʻahu offers, you should consider reserving a rental car in advance from the Honolulu International Airport.

Oʻahu’s city transportation system is aptly named “TheBus.” Fares are reasonable, routes are extensive and there are special visitor passes for multiple day uses. Note: You will need cash or a Holo card to ride! For additional information on fares, bus routes to popular attractions and other useful information visit http://www.thebus.org.

Another affordable option is the trolley. The routes and destinations are not as extensive as TheBus but the trolley goes to most major tourist attractions and offer tickets for unlimited rides over a certain number of days. For more information visit http://www.waikikitrolley.com or call (808) 593-2822.

Taxis are a great way to travel when in a group and the cost can be shared. You can find taxi stands at most major shopping malls, in the business district and at the airport. Note that rather than hailing a cab, finding taxi stands at major shopping malls and businesses as well as calling for pick-ups via hotel concierge or phone is the norm in Hawaiʻi.
