Arriving in Hawaii
Honolulu International Airport (HNL)
Car 25 to 45 minutes drive to Waikiki via Nimitz Hwy or H-1 Fwy
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?

On Kauai, aina (land) reigns supreme. While even a short stopover can offer a taste of aggressively lush landscape amongst which to cruise or frolic about, an extended stay may suddenly metamorphose into a course-study of nirvana evading reality, leaving you spending your return flight home debating immediate relocation if you go home, that is.

Or, you may just get sunburnt and have loads of fun. Redefining mellow, the pace of life on the least populated of the major Hawaiian Islands is forever in first gear, with nobody in too much of a rush to do anything. Though, if action is whats desired, rest assured that limitless potential for adventure is forever fixed into each square mile of this 5-million-year-old dormant volcanos gaping chasms, hanging valleys and velvety emerald flora. With a little willingness, thrill is just a snorkel, a pair of hiking boots, or a paddle stroke away.
