Oahu Hawaii Travel

Archive for the ‘oahu rentals’ Category

Hey, I’m trying to find a place to store a 9′ longboard somewhere close to waikiki, does anyone know of places that stores boards? I’ve called several surfboard rental places around here and no one seem to. Also do you know what the price range a month is?

Aloha,

Check out Hawaii Beach Bum @ http://hawaiibeachbum.com . They are located in the middle of Waikiki in the International Market Place. If you need to rent a surfboard look me up @ http://www.HawaiiSurfboardRentals.com .

Hi there,

My boyfriend and I are going to Hawaii in February 2009. We won’t have a rental car, so we’ll need to take other means of transportation. We will be in Oahu for 6 days and have most of our activities/transportation planned out. However, in our down time (to explore), I need some help with bus lines.

We will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki…

1) Where is the closest bus stop to our hotel?

2) Which bus will take us to Kapahulu Avenue and back to our hotel? We have a number of restaurants that we are planning to try on this street (Ono Seafood, Waiola Shave Ice, Ono Hawaiian Foods, Rainbow Drive-In, Leonard’s Bakery, Tokkuri-Tei etc.)

3) Which bus will take us to the Ala Moana Center and back to our hotel?

4) Which bus will take us to Waialae Avenue? We want to try Ninniku Ya Garlic Restaurant at 3196 Waialae Ave.; afterwards, how do we get to Bubbies at 1010 University Ave; then back to our hotel?

5) Are Puka Dog (2301 Kuhio), House Without a Key (2199 Kalia) and Hau Tree Lanai (2863 Kalakaua) all within walking distance from the Hyatt Regency (2424 Kalakaua)?

I know it’s a lot, but i truly appreciate it!!! Thanks a billion, and I can’t wait for this vacation!

There are frequent bus stops in Waikiki. Everything there like House Without a Key etc. are within walking distance. There is a bus that will take you to Waialae Avenue for the Garlic restaurant (very good!) and to University Avenue (that one is #4 University). From the garlic restaurant, to get to Bubbies you take the #1 bus going west and get off at Univ.Ave. From Waikiki, #8 busses and others all go through Ala Moana Center.

You will have no problem–very easy to get around. You can also take the bus to Sea Life Park, which is also a good "tour" of some very scenic areas on the east end.

I’m going on vacation next month to Oahu, and want to rent a car for the week. I’ve heard that a rental car isn’t necessary, but I’d still really like one. I’ve been warned about the expensive parking rates, but I’m more concerned about not being able to find a place to park. Is it too big of a headache to bother renting a car?

If you don’t plan on leaving Waikiki, then you can walk everywhere, or take a cab. Parking does suck, but most hotels will have they’re own lots. It’s worth it to be able to explore the rest of the island!!! Have fun!
