Honolulu Travel Forum

Hi. We have seven days at Waikiki but thought it might be good to visit the Big Island. Is it worth taking one of those day trip flights with tour? Also, with the Pearl Harbour Memorial; can you book ahead instead of having to line up outside (I've been reading other posts). If not, what's the best way to get there - tour coach, taxi or public transport? Many thanks for your help. :D

Daytrips can be fun but can also be a tiring day doing a tour as depending on which one you choose you maybe getting up at 4 in the morning to catch a ride to the airport. We did the circle island tour a couple years ago because the lava flow was a long hike from the road and my wife's knees said no but lastest I have read the flow is much closer.
As far as Pearl Harbor you cannot make reservations and of the ways you mention will work but I agree with the renting a car because if you go Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday you can leave there and hit the swap meet at Aloha Stadium just a few minutes away.

Hi
There are on-line contacts for tickets to the activities on the Islands and to Pearl Harbor.. Here is one .. http://adventureinhawaii.com/oahu_pearlharbor.htm
If you are coming soon to the Islands beware that on the Big Island(Hawaii) there has been a Vog..sort of like a Fog but from the Volcano...So the air has been polluted with some thick clouds lately..
