Travel Recommendations 🚗 Rental Cars We highly recommend renting a car for your stay to make exploring Oʻahu easier. Rental cars can conveniently be picked up and returned directly at Honolulu Airport (HNL). We have had great experiences with both Enterprise and Hertz! 🏨 Where to Stay We recommend staying in Waikīkī, which offers a wide variety of hotels, restaurants, shopping, and activities within walking distance. ✈️ Flights For guests traveling from California, we recommend checking flights from Sacramento (SMF) and booking morning flights when possible. 🌺 Airlines If available, we recommend booking a nonstop flight to Honolulu. Hawaiian / Alaskan Airlines and Southwest Airlines typically offer the most nonstop options from Northern California. As always, these are simply our recommendations based on our experiences visiting Oʻahu. We encourage everyone to choose the travel arrangements that work best for them!

Flight

Sacramento International Airport (SMF)Sacramento International Airport (SMF)

We recommend flying out of Sacramento if possible! In our opinion, it's the easiest and most convenient airport to navigate, and also offers cheaper parking options than San Francisco International Airport.

Turo Car RentalTuro Car Rental

Turo is another popular option on Oʻahu and can sometimes be more affordable than a traditional rental car. Many hosts offer vehicle pickup locations in or near Waikīkī, making it easy to rent a car just for the days you plan to explore the island. Some visitors choose to pick up a car in the morning and return it in the evening, which can help avoid overnight hotel parking fees that can be expensive in Waikīkī. If you only plan to sightsee on a few days, Turo can be a convenient alternative to keeping a rental car for your entire trip!
