Waikiki Grand Hotel Airport Shuttle

+

The Waikiki Grand Hotel (a Castles Resorts & Hotels property) has been a landmark accommodation in Waikiki Beach for decades. It’s probably best known for being the go-to for the LGBTQ community, but it’s also a budget-friendly and convenient place to stay near the beach, without being caught in the craziness of Waikiki’s primary center. However, given that it’s located at the end of the main strip at 134 Kapahulu Ave, you may be wondering how to best get from Honolulu International Airport (HNL) to the hotel. We’ve got you covered. Below is everything you need to know.

Best Way to Get to Waikiki Grand Hotel from HNL (and what else you need to know)


Skip the Shared Shuttle (and Uber) to Ride in Affordable Style

There are shared shuttle services that you and your party can take from the airport to the Waikiki Grand Hotel. However, not only will you have to wait until all other pre-booked parties have been “collected” from baggage claim, you have to wait until each and every one of them has been dropped off at their respective hotels. That’s right, as alluded to above, with the hotel being located along Kapahula Avenue, your party will be the LAST to get dropped off. That can add an extra 30-minutes to an hour to your trip from HNL. That’s a tough pill to swallow given that the drive should only take 20-30 minutes to begin with. This may be acceptable if it saves you money, but it doesn’t. Per person rates on shared shuttles are around $20 each. Parties of two (or more) must therefore pay a total of $40 (or more) for the uncomfortable and inconvenient shared shuttle experience. If you instead book with Honolulu Airport Transfer, you will enjoy the same collective price ($40 flat rate) for your entire party of up to four adults. Furthermore, you get your own private and direct shuttle service to the Waikiki Grand Hotel. Why would anyone take a shared shuttle? Once they find out about this, they don’t.

Some of you may be considering an Uber or Lyft, but unless you’re traveling alone, UberX cannot accommodate multiple person parties with luggage in tow. That means you and your crew will need to order an UberXL (or LyftXL) which is about as budget friendly as the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Instead, enjoy our direct and private shuttle, which is spacious, clean, and comfortable, complete with a professional commercially-licensed driver.

What if You Arrive Early?

Does your flight arrive at HNL early in the AM? Are you considering delaying your airport pickup so that you arrive at the Waikiki Grand Hotel closer to check-in time? There’s really no need. While the lobby is neither expansive or opulent, you can easily kick back for an hour or two within. There is also a small activity kiosk on-site that allows you to plan activities and tours while you wait for your room to be ready. Furthermore, you can leave your luggage with reception and walk across the street to explore Honolulu Zoo or head straight to the beach with is a seashell’s throw away.
