Honolulu → Waikiki: key facts

Waikiki from Honolulu Airport (HNL) by private transfer: $65 per car (1–3 people) or $95 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 26 km via I H1, roughly 35 min when traffic is light and 35–50 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits for you in the baggage claim area on the ground level of the terminal your flight arrives at (Terminal 1, Terminal 2 or Terminal 3), holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Waikiki is the hotel and beach district on the south shore, about 14 km from the airport. Drivers usually take the H-1 freeway east and leave it towards Waikiki, or follow Nimitz Highway and Ala Moana Boulevard past Downtown, Kakaako and Ala Moana Center before crossing the Ala Wai Canal. The trip normally takes 20 to 30 minutes and can take longer at weekday rush hours and on busy weekend evenings.

Waikiki is a narrow area between the Ala Wai Canal and the ocean. Kalakaua Avenue, the beachfront street, carries one-way traffic towards Diamond Head, while Kuhio Avenue runs parallel one block inland, so the approach to a hotel depends on its side of the district. The Hilton Hawaiian Village and Fort DeRussy are at the western end, Kuhio Beach and the Duke Kahanamoku statue in the middle, and Kapiolani Park with the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium at the eastern end below Diamond Head.

Public transport instead: TheBus (City and County of Honolulu) bus W Line from Bus stop on Ala Onaona Street, east of the lei stands, in front of Lelepaua Station to Waikiki (via Downtown, Kakaako and Ala Moana Center), weekdays every 10 min at peak, 15 min off-peak, 30 min after 7 p.m.; weekends and holidays every 15 min, 30 min after 7 p.m..
