Star1 Posted July 1 #26 Share Posted July 1 I am trying to figure out what route I take to the bus. We will be going to Pearl Harbor. I have looked at the bus site. I just want to make sure I am getting the correct bus. How far of a walk to the bus? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 2 #27 Share Posted July 2 Have you been looking at thebus.org? Tying it to Google Maps helps a lot. You can take the 20, or the 42. Its about 15 minutes walk from Terminal 2. It will be a little longer from Terminal 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star1 Posted July 2 #29 Share Posted July 2 Thanks. I did look at the bus website. I did Google it. I was wondering if the roads were OK to walk on. Anything I should be aware of. Looks easy enough. I just wanted to know what others thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good sidewalks and crossing lights, But do be aware of the possibility of sudden, soaking showers. I walked to my favorite store in downtown one time and got drenched before I could get inside someplace. I cabbed back to the ship to change.

Agree with Bear that you can walk anywhere downtown but just in case you were asking about walking to Pearl Harbor, since your adjacent posts referenced it was the goal to get there, it is not walkable-- it is over 7 miles and you use a major highway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I read it right, they were looking to walk to a stop for TheBus, but life is too short, I'd Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasHikers Posted July 5 #34 Share Posted July 5 We will be in Honolulu on January 19, 2024, I studied the bus schedule, but because of the amount of time it takes going there and time to get to Waikiki by bus, we've decided to Uber. Will it be hard to get an Uber at Pearl Harbor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget anything you've heard about Uber in the rest of the islands-- Uber in Honolulu is like getting one in any other major US city. Easy and quick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have any issue. Uber is also fairly reliable in Maui (in the resort areas and around the airport). Other than that its the wild west in the rest of Hawaii.

We are in Hilo, Kona, Kauai, and Honolulu. We have excursions booked in all port except Honolulu which we prefer it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have mentioned the bus, which is cheap but slow, we decided against it. Due to our own fault we ended up waiting for an Uber for 20+ minutes @ Pearl and never saw a bus go by, we were glad we did an Uber, even with our problems.

Just to clarify, YES, the bus stops are safe and easy to walk to, but TheBus takes 45 minutes or more to get to and from Pearl Harbor. For us, Uber or taxi is worth the cost. The only place I'd use TheBus to or from on a cruise would be to Ala Moana Center or Waikiki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bus to Pearl Harbor is a colossal waste of time if it can be avoided, especially if your time on Oahu is limited. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took the bus several times from/to Waikiki and passed the port each time so, I'd say 10-15 "on the bus", but you have to add the waiting time for the next bus, which is a wild card. You have to decide if saving some cash on the bus is really worth the hassle and stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can vary by which bus is available and which route they take and which cruise port you are at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
