Honolulu Travel Forum

Our ship comes into port in the early AM on Saturday and our flight leaves at 3:00 PM. We are debating what to do in the meantime (with luggage in tow). Renting a car to either go to the other side of the island and back, or to go to another site (i.e. Pearl Harbor) seems the best route. We would love to see as much as possible before we leave Oahu...to get a good "view" of the island. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Looking for any info one can give on where one could stay in Honolulu for just 4 nites at a relatively priced hotel. Hotel must be clean and provide some ammenities like possibly shuttle to airport etc, and close to beach or within walking distance. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'll be attending a wedding in Honolulu and will be there for Halloween. A coworker tells me that he and his wife happened to be there for Halloween several years ago and the Waikiki area was filled with costumed party goers. The last time I was in Honolulu, the Waikiki area didn't have many locals hanging out except for the 'models' and their 'managers' showing up at bars trying to win the bikini contest prize money.

Can anyone give me the lay of the land for Halloween in Honolulu (annual parties, current best clubs for Halloween, contests, dances, singles etc.)? Am single and will be traveling alone.

Oh and what type of costumes to expect at different events? Rent/high end, typical store bought, half hearted attempts, beach themed, sexy, etc.

Sorry for being long winded and thanks in advance for any help,

Grey

If you do not take a tour of Pearl Harbor and ride bus there does it work out that you see everything there to see on your own? We are coming to Honolula in Aug, any advice for us about what to do and not to do. Thank you

Do you have an L & L Drive on Kauai? Thanks!

what number of bus that i can take to get to waikele~~?? thx

Hi, My wife and I are having a three week holiday in Waikiki in September, to coincide with our 9th wedding anniversary. An ideas on where we could go for dinner to mark this occassion. The last time we were there we had dinner at The Top 0f Waikiki.
All suggestions welcome.

I am thinking about staying in this area. Is there any construction going on? If so, approximate location of construction if you know it, please. Thanks.

Does anyone know the specific bus # to go to Chinatown? I will be on Kuhio in Waikiki. Bus # anyone? The operator at the bus info service was not very helpful. Thanks.

Where does it go? Is it island hopping or what? Help.

Is there a restaurant there? Any food vendors? Will be walking.

Hello. If I am in Waikiki on Kuhio...Which bus will take me to Lanikai Beach?

Suddenly I have to go to a conference shortly in Honolulu. It is for 3 days. With flights etc I will be there 7 days. I am looking for suggestions as to best things to do on the 4 days free--, best place to stay etc etc. The conference is at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
Thanks

What's a good area of the Honolulu to stay in for a few months? What sort of rent should we expect to pay if it is 3 people and a small dog? Do you suggest furnished or unfurnished apartments if you are only there for less than a year?

We will be going on a cruise out of honolulu and when we get off of the ship we need a place to store our luggage for the day. We get off the ship in the morning and our flight is not until 10pm. We would like to go sightseeing or do something that day. But what do we do with our luggage?

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

Hi everyone :-)

We have an all day stopover in Honolulu on our way to Vancover in September.
(arrive 7.45am Saturday morning & depart 10.10pm Saturday night).

Have just checked out the Honolulu Airport web site and says:

"Due to Security, Locker Storage is not available. We will not answer any e-mail regarding where you can store your luggage. The airport does not have this facility. You must ask the airline you are flying on if they can store it for you".

Anyone have any ideas what we can do for luggage storage in Honolulu so that we can go and sightsee and not have to worry?

Thanks

Hi VTers, we land in Honolulu at 7.30am on a Sat from Australia and then fly to LA at 2pm. Any suggestions on what to do in between other than sitting in Honolulu airport? Thanks Matt

Hi everyone. Any suggestions on what to do with our luggage between disembarking from our cruise ship and hotel checkin? My wife and I are taking the 7 day Pride of America Cruise. When the ship returns to port in Honolulu, we disembark at 7am, however, our hotel check is not until 3PM that day. I though of renting a car just to have someplace to put our stuff.

Greetings
My partner and I are holidaying in Hawaii from June 18 for one month. Looking for a non-touristy beach side (or near) one bedroom condo/accommodation. Would prefer on Oahu but for a great place would be willing to travel. On a fairly tight budget so a place that is around $500 or less would be ideal. Any help or suggestions where to start looking would be appreciated.
Thanks again

I will be attending a Sweet Adeline convention on November 2nd. Is there a bus that takes me between Waikiki Beach, the convention center and Hawaiian University?
Thanks!

I did a check on their reservation website and compare the prices with the different towers for the same type of room and it seems Alii is the most expensive followed by Rainbow. I can understand this because they are nearer the beach but why are Tapa, Kalia and Diamond priced about the same when Diamond Head Tower is much closer to the beach like Rainbow and Alii are? Which tower is currently most preferred for whatever reasons?

Need guidance as to when the box jellyfish appears.

My first visit to Hawaii next month and I will have maybe 3 full days to explore. I'll be on my own and using the local bus as my mode of transport. I'm more into natural sceneries like mountains, gardens, waterfalls, and I especially love flowers. But I'm open to suggestions especially for must-see, must-do stuffs. Will be staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Your suggestions would much appreciated. Thanks.

This will be my first trip to Hawaii and I will have 4-5 days. I don't drive and I'm not sure if I will be able to get around with ease on my own. Would you recommend a reliable day tour operator? Thanks.

Would be staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on a company trip but after the official business I would like to find a cheaper alternative hotel/resort nearby to stay a few more days at my own expense. Any recommendations? Anything under $100?

Back home I can take a digital camera's memory card into one of several shops and plug it into a photofinishing machine and prepare my own prints. These machines are often yellow ones, made by Kodak.

I've looked around Waikiki but have not seen any such machines so far. Might anyone know if/where they are?

In addition to the USS Arizona Memorial tour, I noticed that one can also tour the USS Bowfin and/or the USS Missouri.

I'm wondering if anyone has toured either of these vessels. If so, what are your thoughts?
