While often looped in with Haleiwa (which it’s located within) and Kahuku (adjacent to the eastern end), Pupukea is its own distinct community with its own unique personality. Essentially running from where Waimea Bay ends and Kawela Bay begins, it features prime activity-destinations that visitors come to the North Shore of Oahu for, including Shark’s Cove (snorkeling) and Ke Iki Beach (beachcombing) in addition to Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Velzyland (surfing). Additionally, Pupukea is home to some of the best and most famous casual dining options on the island, including the Foodland supermarket, Pupukea Grill foodtruck, and Ted’s Bakery.
But beyond what’s included on the tour maps for tourists, are the homes of the approximate 5,000 residents of Pupukea. The properties on Kamehameha Highway and up along Pupukea Road may be idyllically located for those who love life in the “country”, but they are overlooked by the shared shuttle services that operate in and out of Honolulu International Airport (HNL). These addresses, be they full-time homes or short-term vacation rentals, are also ignored by ride-hailing services (Uber/Lyft), as drivers are rarely willing to take fares from HNL all the way to this end of the island. They are worried that they won’t secure a fare back to “town”. With the price of gas as it is (and lack of EV charging stations), it’s a fair concern. So what is a Pupukea resident or visitor to do when they need to get to/from HNL? Call upon the one Pupukea airport shuttle that does exist, which also happens to be one of the top-rated airport shuttle services for the entire island.
