I’ishah-Moahnea & Charles
We are getting married on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i and we are SO looking forward to sharing our wedding day with you!
Below are some travel recommendations, including a discounted booking rate through our hotel, the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, as well as lower-cost boutique options to high-end splurges (and one Windward side resort just 15 minutes from our wedding venue!).
Royal Star Hawaii Trans & Tours
To make sure you can enjoy your night with ease -- i.e., you can get your drink on! — the couple is offering guests roundtrip transport between Waikiki and the wedding venue at Kualoa Ranch on their wedding day!
We have secured a 60 passenger Deluxe Gold Full Size Coach with a restroom from Royal Star Transport (the shuttle bus marquee will read “I’ishah & Chase Wedding”). This one shuttle bus will make multiple stops in Waikiki on its way to the wedding venue per the following itinerary
FROM WAIKIKI TO KUALOA RANCH
- 1st Pick Up @ 2:00pm -- Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, 2169 Kalia Rd, Honolulu, HI 96815. **The pickup location is right on Kalia road fronting the hotel**
-- Your Shuttle Bus Captain at the Outrigger Reef is Colleen Louis
- 2nd Pick Up @ approx. 2:15pm - - Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, 2335 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815. **The pickup location is curbside on Kalakaua Avenue in front of the hotel/Na Hoku Jewelry shop**
-- Your Shuttle Bus Captain at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach is Jeff & Kate Lundell
- Approx. 3:30pm Drop Off -- Paliku Gardens @ Kualoa Ranch, 49-345 Kamehameha Hwy, Kaneohe, HI 96744.
FROM KUALOA RANCH TO WAIKIKI
**Early Pick Up**
- 8:00pm Pick Up -- Paliku Gardens @ Kualoa Ranch, 49-345 Kamehameha Hwy, Kaneohe, HI 96744. **The pickup location is right outside the pavilion where the shuttle bus originally dropped you off**
- Approx. 9:00pm Drop Off -- The shuttle bus will drop off at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort.
FROM KUALOA RANCH TO WAIKIKI
**Final Pick Up**
- 9:30pm Pick Up -- Paliku Gardens @ Kualoa Ranch, 49-345 Kamehameha Hwy, Kaneohe, HI 96744. **The pickup location is right outside the pavilion where the shuttle bus originally dropped you off**
- Approx. 10:30pm Drop Off -- The shuttle bus will drop off at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort.
**PLEASE NOTE**
- You MUST BE ON TIME for the shuttle bus as it will not wait for late arrivals. If you miss the shuttle bus, you will need to drive yourself or arrange for other transport to the wedding venue located at: Paliku Gardens @ Kualoa Ranch, 49-345 Kamehameha Hwy, Kaneohe, HI 96744. Paliku Gardens is about a 45 minute - 1 hour drive from Waikiki. Please see driving instructions/actual location photo below.
- If you take the shuttle bus or Uber/Lyft to the wedding venue, it is impractical to Uber/Lyft back to Waikiki. The wedding venue is located in a rural area and the support for ride shares is not robust on that side of the island. The only practical way back to Waikiki is to take the shuttle bus.
- If you want to drive to the wedding venue, you are more than welcome to! Parking is ample on site. Please see driving instructions/actual location photo below.
Should you have any additional questions about the wedding day guest shuttle bus transport, please contact our wedding planner, Annie Kamiya, at annie@mangoseasonweddings.com.
OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort
**NOTE** This is the hotel were we are staying for our wedding weekend. It's a beautiful, newly renovated hotel with some of the best food (Merriman's just opened!) and local musicians (can easily hang at Kani Ka Pila Grille every night to listen to some world-famous Hawaiian musicians and music) you can find anywhere in Waikiki.
We'd love for you to stay in the same location as us so we've secured you a discount room code (cheeeee huuuuuuu, as they say in Hawaii!). Click the "Website" button below to book your discounted stay.
If you should have any trouble booking through this hotel link, please contact our travel agent, April Cheng, via her email travelchicworld@gmail.com or call her directly at (808) 379-5700.
The Laylow, Autograph Collection
A fabulous, boutique hotel in Waikiki, The Laylow Hotel is open to the breeze, with lush flora, a secluded saltwater pool and stylish details around every corner. Your urban oasis with a modern twist is hidden above the buzz of Waikiki. Forget about the tourist cliches and come up and away to the new unique hotel on Kuhio Avenue.
Sheraton Waikiki
A lovely mid-range hotel, The Sheraton Waikiki's oceanfront resort experience features a prime location on the shores of Waikiki Beach just moments away from the area's top attractions, upscale shopping, family activities and exotic natural destinations, including the famed Diamond Head crater. After a long day of exploring Hawaii's amenities, relax in the hotel's beautifully-designed outdoor pools, work out in their modern fitness center, or dine in one of their unique restaurants with globally-inspired cuisine. In the evening, retreat to spacious beachfront accommodations with the pure white Sheraton Signature Sleep Experience, a fresh-air lanai and spectacular views.
Halekulani Hotel
A luxury hotel experience in Waikiki, The Halekulani is one of the first and finest hotels in Hawaii. The Halekulani has welcomed guests to these tranquil beachfront grounds for more than a century. Their concierge service is impeccable as they anticipate your needs and making sure you want for nothing. In fact, the Hawaiian word Halekulani means "House Befitting Heaven" which exemplifies their top-tier service, award-winning cuisine and unique amenities.
Paradise Bay Resort
Escape the hustle, bustle and crowds of Waikiki to the best-kept secret hide-away on O'ahu. Enjoy the charm of country life on the rural, residential peninsula of Wailau Point. Relaxation and Aloha are the expressions used to describe this waterfront boutique resort. Paradise Bay Resort is a leisurely drive to Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, the North Shore and many attractions on the island.
If you’re in the mood to relax and rejuvenate, lounge by the pool or on one of their floating docks. Each of their guest accommodations offers a full kitchen or kitchenette, and many of their suites offer a spacious, private covered lanai with panoramic ocean and mountain views.
Waikiki Resort Area - Short Term Rental Condos
O'ahu has very strict Air BNB and VRBO laws that restrict many locations on island from short term rental stays.
However, the Waikiki resort area is one of the locations exempted from these laws giving you more options to choose from in this area.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport
The only airport on O'ahu is the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport which is located approximately 9.6 miles away from the popular Waikiki resort area where we are recommending most of our guests stay.
To the Waikiki area from the airport, make your way to the H-1 freeway going eastbound.
Follow all the signs to exit into Waikiki (there are several exits).
The airport is approximately 24 miles away from where we are getting married at Kualoa Ranch.
