    Great round trip transportation

    Our entire experience with round trip transportation was great. Pick up from airport to the hotel when we arrived was super easy. I got a call when I arrived at the airport and there was someone waiting for us already at baggage claim to take us to the shuttle. On our return, pick up at our Waikīkī hotel was also very easy and the driver was on time. Overall great service and convenient.

    Disappointing Experience- Poor customer

    The service was good when we arrived in Hawaii, but the departure experience was completely different. My airline changed my flight, so I needed to adjust my pickup time. I contacted Viator through their messaging service for clarification but received no response. I was instructed the morning of to call VIP Airport Transportation directly 10 minutes before y scheduled pickup from the hotel. Unfortunately, the gentleman I spoke with was extremely rude and aggressive, repeatedly arguing with me instead of trying to help. I was being told I was a “no-show” when I had clearly communicated that my flight had changed and I needed a new pickup time. There was no empathy, professionalism, or effort to resolve the situation. I ultimately had to end the conversation because I will not accept being spoken to disrespectfully. I was left without the transportation I had already paid for to get me to the airport. Very poor communication and customer service. I would not use VIP Airport Transportation again.

    The best company very professional and knowledgeable they take care of you like family

    I was lost in the airport and there was this young man sitting in a bench that also worked for the company . I talked to him and asked if I was in the right spot for pick up. He said no worries I will call them to come get you. He made sure I was calm . I wish I would’ve gotten his name. He was young tall medium built . The drive that got me was super nice as well I told him sorry maybe I was in the wrong place he said no problem you are in good hands now. Love you guys telling all my family & friends about my experience.

    Pick up took too long

    After a 10-hour flight I ended up waiting for an hour before VIP Trans shuttle arrived to pick several passengers up including me. Certainly not VIP service. There was a person presumably working for VIP Trans at the airport herding us up and keeping us updated with how far away the shuttle was, but it seemed like forever. I didn't trust them to get me back to the airport for flight home in good time so cancelled VIP Trans and got taxi instead.

    Airport Shuttle Round trip

    No shuttle was available to pick us up from the airport after they only picked up airline flight crews. Representative offered a taxi but main office said policy change didn't allow it. We had to take an Uber to our hotel instead and it came within 5 minutes of being requested. Our airport rep said full refund would be issued but still has not been received.

    Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.

    How much does Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.

    Is Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 598 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal?

    +

    Around 209 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Airport Shuttle Round Trip Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oahu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial & Honolulu Deluxe Coach Tour, Waikiki: Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure on Oahu, Hidden Gems of Oahu Circle Island Tour with Byodo In Temple. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oahu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oahu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
