15 Hours in Honolulu - Tour vs multiple taxix

Hi All

When we get off the ship, ( 22 September 2017, Friday ) in Honolulu we will have 15 hours till our flight departs.

Ideally we would like to do only 2 things, anything else is a bonus. Visit Pearl Harbour, and swim at Waikiki beach, and meet Mr Duke Kahanamoku.

So we will have 2 options:

Take a tour, that pick us up at the cruise port, that includes Pearl Harbour and Waikiki beach, get off at Waikiki, leave our luggage at some hotel, spend a few hours there, than go back to the airport.

Tour is with Roberts Hawaii.

Or Taxi.

Taxi from ship to Airport – Drop off Luggage at the storage facility there.

Taxi to Pearl Harbour

Taxi/shuttle/bus from Pearl Harbour to Waikikki

Than, Taxi/shuttle/bus back to the airport.

We are leaning towards the Taxi route, as it is much less hassle. And will be easier as no waiting, etc.

We just wanted to see, what do any locals think of our idea?

We do not mind taking local busses if available.

Thanks.

There is luggage storage at the pier in Honolulu which would save you a trip to the airport for luggage storage there. You could then book a Pearl Harbor Tour with pick up either at the pier or a Waikiki Beach hotel ( via short taxi ride ). Or just taxi to and from PH. When done at PH, return to Waikiki ( if a tour, they may agree to drop you there rather than the pier. You are then free to beach, shop and explore the Waikiki area to your heart's content. Very walkable. If you want to meet "Duke" the closest you will come is his statue and the pictures inside Duke's Restaurant and Beach Bar. A great place for lunch or dinner. Or there are lots of other great beach side restaurants and bars. Taxi back and collect your luggage and head to the airport at the end of the evening.

Assuming you are on Carnival, then we are on the same sailing! [emoji1303]

Due to our late departure flight, 11:35pm, we will probably just get taxis.

Taxi from ship to Airport – Drop off Luggage at the storage facility there.( as port baggage storage closes at 6 or 7pm)

Taxi from Airport to Pearl Harbour

Taxi/shuttle/bus from Pearl Harbour to Waikikki

Than, Taxi/shuttle/bus back to the airport.
