Getting Around– Save money plus see the sights
Walking, Buses, & Uber
Waikiki, Honolulu is a walkable friendly city. As a former New Yorker walking is our travel mode of choice. We literally walked to and from each stretch of Waikiki; Unfortunately if you are going to a Luau, a factory tour or the many other activities walking may not be an option. Good news! Uber and Lyft is readily available. We took Uber a couple of times but we found the public buses more accessible and economical. http://www.thebus.org/Route/Routes.asp
