Fly into the Honolulu International Airport on O'ahu, Hawaii. This is about 10 minutes from Waikiki Beach and 10 minutes from downtown Honolulu.
Question
What should I wear to the wedding?
Answer
We are requesting cocktail/ Hawaiian formal attire at the wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony and reception will take place on a grassy lawn so avoid pointing high heels so you don't sink into the ground! It will most likely be 70-80 degrees with a chance of tropical showers!
Question
Should I rent a car?
Answer
We would suggest that you do rent a car! You will want to see as much of the island as possible during your trip. Beaches and activities are all accessible by car and make things a little more convenient. Although UBER and Lift are great ways to also get around! Here is a great option for affordable car rentals : https://turo.com/ We recommend booking early as they is a shortage of rental cars on the island.
