Local knowledge for Honolulu

Where to stay

Chinatown, centered on Hotel Street and Nuuanu Avenue, has most of the budget accommodation and is a short walk from downtown. Waikiki puts you closer to the beach but hostel beds cost noticeably more and the neighborhood gets loud on weekends.

Getting around

  • TheBus costs a small flat fare and covers most of the island. Route 60 from Ala Moana Center gets you to Haleiwa on the North Shore in about two hours, no rental car needed.
  • KCC Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings (7:30-11am) at Kapiolani Community College on Diamond Head Road. Cheap plate lunches and the best fruit on the island.
  • Hanauma Bay requires advance reservations booked online. Show up without one and you will be turned away at the gate, no exceptions.

When to go

September and October are the cheapest months to find a bed. December through March fills hostels fast as mainland visitors escape winter, and the two weeks around Christmas are the tightest of the year.
