Middleager Posted July 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This "special" keep popping up. We read mixed reviews on Trip Advisor. We also thought about taking it to Pearl Harbour. But finding out the connection time is not good, and the possible late/missed schedules of the buses, we decided to rent car. Gives a lot more flexibility, go at our own pace, and can go a lot further. A good place to book car rental is discounthawaiicarrental.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going to rent a car but it's just going to cost us too much money in the long run once you start adding the parking fee at the hotel.

Middleager Posted July 13, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2012 No need to pay for a tour to Pearl Harbour. You can take the bus, $2.50/p each way. You can pre-book your ticket at $1.50/p, so you are not tied to the tour schedule. The tour only takes you there, and don't do anything else for you. At Pearl Harbour you can walk or take the free shuttle to the Aloha Stadium swap meet (huge flee market). But if still want to pay Roberts for tour, then get the Entertainment book b1g1 coupon.

Really where do I pre-book the ticket? Any other tips you can give me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middleager Posted July 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Really where do I pre-book the ticket? Reservations.gov Started earlier this year. A lot of people still don't know about his, and still pay tour companies to take them to PH. Those tour companies don't really add much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HImom Posted July 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Please remember that traffic is VERY BAD in Honolulu, especially if you are working around a tight deadline, like being sure not to miss the cruise boat. Be sure to allow yourselves LOTS of time to get back to the pier, especially in the mornings and afternoons. The tour companies should be able to allow sufficient time, but not all people driving themselves would realize how bad & slow traffic here can get.

We're going in September. What are you doing in the other ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtoseethe world Posted July 22, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The public buses in Honolulu are only $1 if you show your Medicare card, and you can get a transfer if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
