Kahala Hotel and Resort is a magnificent property on the south shore of Oahu that offers vacationers a lavish experience on multiple levels, from providing access to the resort’s in-house spa and rooms with dolphin lagoon views to the unmatched fine dining seafood buffet and a shopping gallery featuring hand-made chocolate. The Kahala Hotel also offers a free shuttle service to Waikiki, Kahala Mall, Ala Moana Shopping Center, Iolani Palace and Bishop Museum.
Before you can begin your laid-back but pampered Oahu adventure, however, you need to find your way from Honolulu International Airport to Kahala Hotel. We’ll look at how to do so as well as some things to keep in mind when planning your trip.
Although the resort offers a complimentary shuttle service to nearby Waikiki, it doesn’t provide free travel from Honolulu Airport to the property, but instead charges a per-person fee for this service. This means that once your party exceeds two people, the total cost of a Honolulu Airport transfer to Kahala Hotel can become rather high. In addition, you may have to share the resort’s shuttle with other guests.
Rather than begin your Hawaii vacation with strangers, consider the more relaxing option reserving a private shuttle charging a single flat rate, including your luggage load. You read that right: You and three other guests can travel directly from the Honolulu Airport (also known as Daniel K. Inouye International Airport) to Kahala Hotel in a luxury ride with Hawaii Towncars limo service.
Other options for traveling from Honolulu Airport to Kahala Hotel include driving on your own. Of course, renting a car comes with its own pros and cons some of which are having to deal with traffic in an unfamiliar city, and not getting the chance to experience a customary Hawaii lei greeting service by your very own chauffeur.
The average travel time between HNL Airport and the resort runs between 30 and 40 minutes, making taxi fare $45 at the very least. Sometimes it can get more expensive than our flat rates, while also being less comfortable. Is your taxi a new and private Mercedes S-Class? We didn’t think so.
Keep in mind that your luggage might very well mean you need to hire an UberXL as opposed to a regular rideshare vehicle, and that will increase your fare considerably. That’s not even mentioning that a typical Uber or Lyft reservation can be a gamble in terms of the vehicle’s condition and driver experience.
If you arrive early, you’ll find that there is plenty to do, and the favorite activity for most guests is evident as soon as they walk outdoors at the resort: Dolphin Quest Oahu. Located in the middle of the property, Dolphin Quest Oahu has been the home to six generations of dolphins born and raised at Kahala Hotel and Resort. Watching the dolphins frolic in an expansive playground where they can playfully swim, jump and toy around with bumper floats and basketballs will have time flying by. You can also dine al fresco at one of the resort’s restaurants, visit the boutique, view the resort’s tropical fish and sea turtle pond or enjoy tropical cocktails with an artisan twist in the lounge area.
