Travel Details

Our wedding will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii (the island of Oahu). We understand this may be a big trip for some of our friends and family, so we've put together so information on our own recommendations for travel and accommodations.

Because many of you will be traveling from afar, please make absolutely sure you've submitted your RSVP (when it's available). We need to let the venue know ahead of time how many people will be attending, and we'd hate for you to travel thousands of miles only to run into issues at the door (although we're sure you'd find something to do in Hawaii.)

Flights

The closest (and only!) airport you can fly into is the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu. We recommend booking your flights as soon as possible, as prices can increase rapidly as the date approaches.

You may be required to go through additional agriculture screening at the airport, so please make sure you do not have any prohibited items (like fruits, vegetables, or plants) in your luggage. If you need to bring pets, it's a complicated process, so please make sure to do the appropriate research. Additionally, it may be a good idea to bring a pen to fill out any necessary forms on the plane.

We typically fly Hawaiian Airlines (especially from the west coast), but there are several other airlines that may have better coverage from your area. From Los Angeles, a typical flight is about 5 hours long.

Accommodations

We don't have a block of rooms reserved at any particular hotel, but we do recommend staying in or near the Waikiki area. Even though the island is only about 40 miles across, traffic can be quite bad, so we it's a good idea to stay as close to the venue as possible.

We've heard that several family members are booking larger Airbnbs and splitting the cost, so that may also be a good option to look into.

Transportation

Honolulu does not have a great public transportation system, so if you're looking to explore outside of the Waikiki area (which we highly recommend) you may want to rent a car.

Uber and Lyft are also available on the island, but if you're looking to do a lot of exploring (like seeing the North Shore, going hiking, or visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center), a car may be the best option.
