I went there for three days recently. I did not rent a car and still went to Hanauma Bay with Uber, I did a grand circle tour (with Star of Honolulu cruises) and I had the chance to know many, many places. It was perfect, I really didn't need a rental car (way too expensive).
Aloha! Went to oahu hawaii this august with wife and 2 kids. We did not rent a car, our transport was the bus and uber rides. The trip was amazing and i dont regret not taking a car. Was cheaper, dont have to pay for a parking and no stress by drivong around. Best choice ever 🤙
My best Friend and I were in Oahu for 8 weeks last summer (stayed in Kailua and Aiea) and we only used the Bus 😊 it was frustrating at some times but we made it. :)
@@Livingtheglobe yes it was definitely challenging. we always had a bus stop close but the biggest problem was that most of the time when we wanted to go for example to north shore we had to take a bus to honolulu first bc there are all the big transfer points.
The 22 bus to Hanauma Bay was stopped in October 2020 and has not been reinstated. It is still listed on the webpage with the notation that it was temporarily discontinued. The closest a bus can get you is to the Hawaii Kai transit center. That’s a very long uphill walk to get to the bay 😢 you can get to both turtle bay and sharks cove on the 60 bus for a snorkel.
Thank you so much for this video. It's my first time going in Hawaii and family budget is important. Thank you so much for detail and transportation on bus. I will try that on the way there. Save money live better. Will there be any train or trolley as well.
@@Livingtheglobe I’m in the planning stages now so I’ll try to add the car 🚗 now and not waiting until I arrive. Though the bus is an option, I’d prefer to spend my time enjoying Hawaii rather than waiting around for a delayed bus 🤦🏾♀️. So excited to visit again! The information you provide is priceless!
I feel like the bus needs to have a machine to accept credit/debit cards. It is too much to ask for exact change. Maybe charge a quarter extra for CC use to make up for the budget to install the equipment.
No sorry , you's have to go to the other Hawaii islands to see black sand beaches. Here's our Full Beach tour of Oahu: ua-cam.com/play/PLLWL1kOKTMKvGX85f6OMa0aRAVhzk3Erp.html
great information guys. Thanks guys. Also I know you were at Ilikai Hotel where you did a tour and review. I am staying there in December prior to a cruise. What would be the best way , and not too expensive to get from the Ilikai hotel to the NCL pride of america cruise ship? there are 4 of us.
Yes that’s correct, but the system has just recently been updated, and they no longer use paper slips. We will update this video soon, but an all day pass is an all day pass you will have no issues getting off and on during the day.
We sure do!

I live in Honolulu and do catch the bus and the holo card I found it easier to use verses using cash. If you know your going to use the bus often then it's best to get the holo card but if not just pay cash. The holo card is free and you can conveniently pick it up from the Foodland Grocery store in Ala Moana center. You can either apply cash to the card or add credit card payment online.
First, I love your videos! (: Second, I have a quick question. We are planning to go to Oahu for my birthday in September. Will it be less busy during this month because it won't be considered summer? Do you predict the rental car situation might be better during that time? Thank you (:
Thank you so much, the prediction for the car rental situation will we bad for the remainder of the year, BUT you have a lot of time to keep checking till you find something good. Happy Birthday!Cheeee
It is always busy down here. Many of our car rental companies closed down and sold their cars off because of the pandemic. It'll be a long time the prices will be this high.
There are, but it may just be a walk away from your actual hotel. There are many parking areas that are less expensive. You just wont have the convenience of having your car in your hotel
We rented a car, we were there last week. We used the hotel which was convenient. U text when u want the car and by the time u get to front of hotel, it’s there. Just the cost was steep. 50$ per day for parking with 5$ tip every time they brought our car to us

Fingers crossed! but they are predicting it will be this way for the entire year.

How late does the bus run from Waikiki to north shore?
Not sure, probably 10pm is the last bus. You can find the schedule online
@@Livingtheglobe Thanks

Hi, for 4 ppl taxi would be the best. but a bus would be a bit cheaper
Can I take the bus to the swap stadium outdoor shopping place? If yes, which bus(es) number?
Yes! We did a video ua-cam.com/video/n9QqbqK8dj0/v-deo.html
Can you buy multiple day pass at the airport?
Sorry not sure, they changed the system but you might be able to get a week pass
Is the bus available to take in Ko Olina to get to Hamauna Bay and the Ma Valley and waterfall area
Yes
Bus schedule runs 24h a day or at night they stop?
i do not think busses run at night
Is there a bus to Paradise Cove Luau?
we will look into that for you
What about the trolley?
Yes, you can use the trolly to get around as well.
If u pay $5.50 and that's a day pass, does the bus driver give you the day pass (like a transfer slip) to use?
Yes that’s correct, but the system has just recently been updated, and they no longer use paper slips. We will update this video soon, but an all day pass is an all day pass you will have no issues getting off and on during the day.
$2.50 for know? if i want to Diamon head trail what NO# bus to take? Thank you! oh! the bus work for 28NOV2024? Thanks again!

Very helpful. Thanks so much. I’ll pass your link along to others that I know are going to Oahu.
We’ve used the bus from airport to Waikiki for $2.75 each way… no hassle at all… done this every trip every year…
That’s great, the only thing with that is they don’t allow luggage on the bus, so it’s not very practical for most travelers
What do you think about HOLO cards? Are all buses using it or do you still recommend I bring Cash?
Yes the busses are using it now, we will do a full review very soon.
@@Livingtheglobe Can't wait!

Now rental are way cheaper
Prices change with time. Thanks for the tip!
I’m renting a car for my one week trip. Could you please let me know if there are cheaper alternatives parking in Waikiki then Hotel’s parking?
There are, but it may just be a walk away from your actual hotel. There are many parking areas that are less expensive. You just wont have the convenience of having your car in your hotel
@@Livingtheglobe do I need to book ahead or just browsing when I’m there?
We rented a car, we were there last week. We used the hotel which was convenient. U text when u want the car and by the time u get to front of hotel, it’s there. Just the cost was steep. 50$ per day for parking with 5$ tip every time they brought our car to us
