Taxi: The non-rush hour taxi fare between the airport and Waikiki is about $40-45. Cabs in Honolulu accept payments in cash and by credit card. Once you’ve collected your luggage, follow the signs for ground transportation and taxi; see also http://hawaii.gov/hnl/ground-transportation/taxicabs.
 
Star Taxi – a local’s recommendation: Customers pay a flat fare of $30 per trip between the airport and Waikiki ($25 to UHM) with no luggage surcharge. This means that no matter if one or four people travel in a party to the same destination, the fare remains $30. Cash payments only.
To book a taxi, call 1-800-671-2999 (toll free) or 1-808-942-7827 (local). To see the lists of Waikiki hotels served and prices to other Oahu locations, go to http://www.startaxihawaii.com/

The Bus: Honolulu International Airport to Waikiki
There are strict baggage rules, so this is a convenient method of transportation only if you travel with a carry-on: no bag brought on board may be larger than 22" x 14" x 9" (56cm x 36cm x 23cm). Eastbound routes 19 and 20 connect the airport with Waikiki, via Downtown Honolulu.
The bus fare for an adult is $2.50; a visitor pass costs $35 (four consecutive days, unlimited use: http://www.thebus.org/fare/4DayPass.asp). Buy a ticket from the bus driver as you get on board but make sure you have the exact change. For more information on bus routes, stops, and schedules, please go to http://hawaii.gov/hnl/ground-transportation/the-bus and http://www.thebus.org/Route/Routes.asp.
