Taxis Metered, usually $35 to $45 to Waikiki (more during rush hour), plus 35 per bag

Local Transportation

The majority of interisland travel is by plane, although a limited number of boats connect Maui with Lanai and Molokai. Renting a car is usually necessary if you want the freedom to really explore; on Hawaii the Big Island and Lanai, a 4WD vehicle may come in handy for off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Public buses run around the four largest main islands: Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai, but often infrequent bus schedules and routes are designed to serve commuters, not tourists. Youll find it time-consuming and difficult to get around relying only on public transportation, except on Oahu, where TheBus route network is extensive.

Why Go?

Our boat captain summed it up neatly as we rocked in 4ft waves watching live lava pour into the sea: very few have set eyes on new earth being created in such a fiery display of raw power. Sunrise rainbows and romping dolphins aside, its all about the lava here from palm-fringed black-sand beaches to lava tide pools teeming with Technicolor life.

But its the people, as much as the land, that keeps legends like Pele the volcano goddess pulsing on the Big Island. Ancient chants accompanied by sacred hula are still performed here, fish are netted in an old-fashioned hukilau , and the Big Island work day ends in pau hana (happy hour).

Hawaii is so big (twice as big as the other islands combined), its the only island where you feel youre on a road trip.
