Recommended Posts

We will be embarking at Pier 2 and then overnighting till 6pm the next day.

 

Is there anything to see within walking distance to pier 2? Where would the nearest Bus stops be?

Is there a shuttle from the pier to Waikiki?

 

Last time we cruised from Aloha Marketplace and it was very convenient but Pier 2 does not seem to be.

 

Thanks Karen

Actually' date=' Pier 2 is in a better location as far as stops for TheBus go. Just walk out to Ala Moana Blvd and stop will be right there. A Very short ride into Waikiki. Not really an isolated area![/quote']

 

How long of a walk 10 minutes? Chinatown?

Thank you for the helpful info very much appreciated.

We've mostly arrived at the Aloha Tower (pier 11) and only arrived at Pier 2 once. We easily walked around old Honolulu to the State Capital building, Iolani Palace & across the street to the King Kamehameha statue in front of the Hawaii Supreme Court building. In the old Hawaii Five-0 the Iolani Palace was their HQ and the current version is in the Supreme Court building. We searched online for the downtown old historical buildings & did our own historical walking tour. ;)

 

Here's a link to the port's map & an aerial overview of the area:

Also Google Maps will have walking times & bus options from the Pier 2 Cruise Ship Terminal.

Thanks for the link Astro Flyer.

 

You're welcome & on O'ahu they have a great public transportation system...The Bus...and last I heard it was about $2.50 to go anywhere on the island.

 

Construction of the Honolulu rail system will sometimes result in traffic delays or buses being rerouted:

Pier 2 is great. Within a mile walking you can go to the Aloha Marketplace and the edge of Downtown Honolulu, to Iolani Palace and the Ali'iolanli Hale and the Ward Centers. See the map below.

You can also catch TheBus, a cab or Uber to Waikiki or Ala Moana Center. A cab is maybe $20, Uber about $10.
