Trip to Oahu, Honolulu

Travel planning

Accommodation Options
Considering that Oahu is a well-developed city, and has very convenient bus transportation, we skipped car rental and opt for hostel accommodation near the heart of Waikiki and most attractions.
1) Hotel at hotels.com

2) Bed & breakfast

3) Hostel website

Transportation Options
1) For travel from Buffalo to Oahu during the peak period (Dec-Feb), we were able to get a very good deal by naming our own price at$740 including taxes and fees. The price were good, and layover duration was reasonable, less than 2 hours for connecting flight. Total travel time was about 12-13 hours.
2) Car rental at the island may range from $50-80 per day during the peak period from Dec- Feb including tax, fees and insurance.
3) Scooter rental is probably a good option since insurance is not required ($50 per day)
4) Bicycle rental range between $15- $20 website
5) Public bus is $2.50 one way, valid for transfer within 2 hours or a visitor pass $25 valid for 4 consecutive days. website
