TheBus

811 Middle Street

Honolulu, Hawaii 96819

Note that TheBus allows you to carry a pack no larger than you can hold on your lap—practically, no larger than a big daypack. As there are no backpacking opportunities to speak of for visitors to Oahu, you shouldn’t find this limitation to be a problem. Also, TheBus stops running late at night—don’t let yourself get stranded. If a trailhead isn’t directly served by TheBus but isn’t too far from a bus stop, consider taking TheBus and adding to the trip’s mileage your foot miles from/to the bus stop.

 Take a taxi. This isn’t cheap, but you’ll probably save a lot of aggravation as compared to driving and some time as compared to taking TheBus. Be sure to bring a cell phone that works on Oahu or plan to hike from a trailhead with a nearby pay phone from which you can call the taxi company for your return ride.

 Drive it one day at a time. A few prime hiking areas, like the Tantalus-Roundtop area and the extreme west end of Oahu, are not served by TheBus. For these, you may wish to rent a car for a day, or arrange for a pickup and a ride as part of taking the hike with an organized group.
