Great shuttle and quick and easy
Easy pick up and set up. Driver called first thing in the morning to confirm and called a few more times. We were very happy when he showed uo a bit earlier than expected amd got us to the airport quick and easy. Driver was very nice and kept us in good spirits throughout the ride. Definitely the best value for the ride we needed!

Price was right
Pickup was a little late, but to be expected for Hawaii traffic. Most importantly, I was dropped off with time to spare and he was more than happy to assist with my luggage
via Tripadvisor
Friendly and courteous,...
Friendly and courteous, driver was very helpful. Called beforehand when expected to be later than appointed time. Was only a few minutes late; there was a mix-up that was quickly corrected.

VIP Family Pick Up
Glad we used the VIP service as it made the transportation from Waikiki to the airport so convenient. There was a small miscommunication in the time of pickup but they fit us right in and made it to the airport at my original time frame. They are very helpful and professional.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal cost?
+
Prices start at $18 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 Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 642 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 Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle 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 Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle Honolulu and Waikiki or Cruise Terminal?
+
Around 225 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Departure Transfer: Airport Shuttle 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 Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour. 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.
