Transportation on the Islands

Couldn't resist posting a New Beetle Photo ... no, this car isn't for rent.

There are many ways to see the sites on the islands:   walking, hailing a cab, hiring a limo, renting a car or in Honolulu riding a trolley.   I found a site listed on the Cruise Critic message board that I thought might be of interest to those going to Hawaii:

Hawaii Cruise Ship Car Rental

It is pretty thorough site, giving lists of all the car rental agencies, taxi service, and limo service at each port.   I have not used this site before, so offer an opinion.  I did feel tho that it had lots of good information and was worth posting.

Waikiki Trolley:

In Honolulu there is a trolley that offers quite a bit of fun while touring the area.  It is called Waikiki Trolley.   You purchase a ticket for the day and what line(s) you want to use.  There are even trolleys that have a wheelchair lift (but these do not run as frequently as the other trolleys).

Unlimited Boarding Privileges
Enjoy unlimited boarding and re-boarding privileges for as long as your pass is valid.

Three Lines, 30 Stops
Discover historic sites, beautiful scenery, and world-class shops and restaurants through our lines.

A one day pass on the Waikiki Trolley is $22.   There is a video on their website too that will tell you more information.   Also check out their Frequently Asked Questions page.

TheBus

This link to to the city's transportation on Oahu.   They have extensive itineraries, are wheelchair accessible, and even have multiple day passes if you are going to be there longer than 1 day.   You do have to have exact fare when riding the bus.  The drivers do not carry change.   A one way fare is $2.50 for an adult (17 and over).  Youth (6 -17) is $1.25.
