PCWalton1 Posted November 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is it easy to get around in Kauai and Maui by public transport? Never done it, we usually get a rental car. Here are links to the bus systems on those islands. Maui http://www.co.maui.hi.us/index.aspx?nid=609 Kauai http://www.kauai.gov/Bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepCalmBearOn Posted November 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2015 are there taxis available at the pier? Yes at Kauai and I am sure on Maui too, but on Maui are you docking at Kahului or getting tendered in Lahaina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogli Posted November 23, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted November 23, 2015 getting tendered at Lahaina I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted November 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2015 getting tendered at Lahaina I think If you are getting tendered into Lahaina then you can walk all over town. If you want to rent a car, there are a couple who will come get you and take you to the Kapalua Airport to get a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Driving is quite easy in Hawaii...so if you have a full day, a rental car is the way to go, if you're doing things on your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted November 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The only place where buses are good are on Oahu. Kauai and Maui are greatly lacking. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 24, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 24, 2015 As others have said best to use a taxi or rent a car. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted November 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 24, 2015 just checked itinerary and defo tendering Lahaina So if you are getting tendered to Lahaina, if you want to rent a car there are some car companies that will come get you and take you to Kapalua Airport to pick up your car. http://www.hawaiicruisecars.com/ If you are content to just see Lahaina, there is plenty to do and it is almost all walkable. While public transportation is not good in general on Maui, it is good between Lahaina and Ka'anapali on the Kaanapali Islander route. http://mauibus.net/regions/kaanapali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogli Posted November 25, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Does anyone know of the cost of a cab to Smiths Botanical Garden and Fern Grotto from the Pier area - looking at things to do in Kauai and weighing up cost of Ship excursion or on our own?

Renting a car for the day would be cheaper than the round trip cab fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted December 3, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Does anyone know of the cost of a cab to Smiths Botanical Garden and Fern Grotto from the Pier area - looking at things to do in Kauai and weighing up cost of Ship excursion or on our own? A ball park in Hawaii for cab fare is $5/mile, it's about 6 miles, so budget $80 round trip, with tip, as a cushion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
