No car? No problem! | 6 Waikiki Shuttles to take you around | Blue Wave Tours
Don’t let not having a car keep you from exploring Oahu. In this article, I share some shuttle options to get around Oahu.
With the help of Blue Wave Tours SHUTTLES, you can easily get out of the concrete jungle of Waikiki and explore the white sand beaches of Kailua, the historic sites of Pearl Harbor, the hikes around the island, and the fabled North Shore of Oahu.
Shuttle 1: Kailua
Kailua is well known for its white sand beaches and is a must-see for anyone visiting Oahu. Beyond the beach, there are plenty of restaurants and small local shops to explore. Blue Wave Tours offers shuttle service from Waikiki to Kailua, with one pickup in the morning and one drop-off in the afternoon.
Shuttle 2: Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is a must-do for anyone visiting Oahu. Blue Wave Tours offers shuttle service to and from the historic site, so you can explore the visitor center on your own.
Shuttle 3: Makapuu
Makapuu is a nice hike on the eastern side of the island. It starts off flat and then converts to a sharper incline, so make sure to wear tennis shoes and bring plenty of water. Once you get to the top, you’ll be rewarded with gorgeous ocean views. Blue Wave Tours offers shuttle service from Waikiki to Makapuu, which is about a 30 minute drive.
Shuttle 4: Manoa Falls
Manoa Falls is one of the most popular easy hikes on the island. The well-maintained trail is easy to access and is well trafficked. Blue Wave Tours offers shuttle service to and from Waikiki.
Shuttle 5: Diamond Head Crater
Diamond Head Crater is located only about 2-3 miles (3.2-4.8 km) from Waikiki. The views at the top are absolutely gorgeous, with the Waikiki skyline on the right and ocean views up front. Blue Wave Tours offers shuttle service to and from the crater.
Shuttle 6: Haleiwa Town
Haliewa Town is a historic surf town up on the North Shore of the island. It’s about 1-1.5 hours from Waikiki (depending on traffic), and Blue Wave Tours offers shuttle service to and from the town.
Blue Wave Tours
Blue Wave Tours offers shuttles in their smaller 15 passenger minivan or larger 24 passenger minibus. They also give back, with QR codes at Diamond Head Crater to translate into multiple languages and rubbish bins to keep Diamond Head crater clean.
Conclusion

With the help of Blue Wave Tours SHUTTLES, you can easily get out of the concrete jungle of Waikiki and explore the white sand beaches of Kailua, the historic sites of Pearl Harbor, the hikes around the island, and the fabled North Shore of Oahu.
