accommodations
Waikiki
Waikiki is lively, energetic, and scenic, with iconic views of Diamond Head, golden sandy beaches, and a bustling strip of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. It’s home to many of Hawaii’s most well-known hotels, from luxurious oceanfront resorts to budget-friendly options, as well as plenty of Airbnb choices tucked into condo buildings. We recommend first-time visitors to Hawaii to stay in Waikiki. We have hired a wedding bus to shuttle guests from Waikiki to the wedding venue and back
Ko Olina
Ko Olina is a beautiful, upscale resort area on Oahu’s sunny west side, about 40 minutes from Waikiki and Honolulu Airport. Known for its peaceful atmosphere, Ko Olina features four calm, man-made lagoons perfect for swimming, lounging, and sunset walks. Quiet, luxurious, and family-friendly, Ko Olina is ideal for guests who want a more relaxed, resort-style experience away from the city crowds. The various resorts of Ko Olina are in walking distance of the wedding venue. We recommend renting a car if staying in this area
transportation
CARS
Car rentals are available at Honolulu airport (HNL) or through Turo. We recommend renting a car if you plan to venture outside Waikiki and Honolulu

Uber and Lyft are readily available around Honolulu and Waikiki Beach, but may be difficult to call near the wedding venue
WEDDING BUS
We have hired a wedding bus to transport guests who need a ride from the Waikiki area (hotel TBD) to the wedding venue and back on the day of the wedding. Details to be finalized
