The day
How does the day work?
Your chosen direction sets the meeting point, with hotel pickup for departures and a lei greeting for airport arrivals.
- 1
Choose the direction
Hotel to Airport starts at your Waikiki hotel. The arrival option starts at HNL and includes an orchid lei for each passenger.
- 2
Share contact details
The reservation needs a passenger's direct phone number. For an arrival, it also needs your flight number and landing time.
- 3
Meet the driver
Text messages arrange the pickup before travel. You meet at the hotel for a departure or at HNL for the arrival option.
- 4
Board with bags
Your group boards the private vehicle with its luggage. The hotel departure doesn't include a lei greeting.
- 5
Reach the destination
The departure ride ends at HNL. If you've booked the arrival direction, the driver takes your party to the Waikiki hotel.
Both directions have a 30-minute transfer duration. The destination changes with the option you select. There isn't a separate time allowance for the arrival greeting.
Pickup and meeting point
- Hotel departure: Choose a Waikiki hotel as the pickup point for Hotel to Airport. This option can't collect you at HNL.
- Arrival details: Your incoming flight number and arrival time are needed to arrange the airport pickup. The arrival option is the one with the lei.
- Passenger phone: An agent's phone number alone can leave the driver unable to reach you. That can lead to cancellation or treatment as a no-show.
Before you book
- Keep your own phone number on the reservation. An unreachable passenger risks cancellation or a no-show when only an agent's number is supplied.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
A group of 14 leaving a Waikiki hotel is the clearest fit for the starting price. Smaller parties need their own booking price. You don't get a lei on that departure. Your reservation also needs a phone number that reaches a passenger directly.
For a smaller family, the departure minivan costs from $80 per vehicle for up to 5. Its infant seats can be arranged ahead. For a 6 a.m. hotel pickup, Aplus departure costs from $18 per adult in a group of 12.
Who it's not for
- Airport arrivals choosing the hotel departure price
- Groups above 14 travelers
- Bookings with no reachable passenger phone number
Good to know
Know before you go
The booking holds up to 14 travelers, with a ticket band starting at age 1. The lowest price depends on the departure direction and party size.
Infant seats can be requested for the private ride. Strollers are allowed too. Tickets start at age 1, so ask the operator about a baby under 1 before booking.
An orchid lei for each passenger belongs to the airport arrival option. A hotel departure has no lei. The directions need separate reservations if you want both rides.
Keep a passenger's direct contact number attached to the reservation. If only an agent can be reached, the ride may be canceled or treated as a no-show.
For an airport pickup, provide the incoming flight number and arrival time. Your ticket is mobile only. It needs to remain accessible alongside the driver's messages.
A full refund applies to cancellations at least 24 hours before departure. Canceling within that window forfeits the payment. The deadline matters even when your travel plans change.
