This is hands-down our most frequently asked question, so let me give you the straight answer: No, Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort does not operate its own airport shuttle service. However, that’s actually good news for your wallet.

Instead of being limited to a hotel-operated shuttle with fixed schedules and premium pricing, you have the flexibility to choose from transportation options like Go Waikiki Shuttle, which offers more affordable rates and personalized service. We’ve been the preferred airport transfer solution for Hilton Hawaiian Village guests since 2008.

No, the Hilton Hawaiian Village does not offer a free airport shuttle to or from Honolulu Airport (HNL). While some Oahu hotels include complimentary airport transportation, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort operates as a full-service resort and leaves ground transportation to licensed providers like us.

The good news? Our $50 per person roundtrip rate is often less expensive than the hotel shuttle services you’ll find at other properties, and you get the same reliable, comfortable experience.

After 15 years of picking up families at HNL, I can tell you there are really five main options for transportation from Honolulu Airport to Hilton Hawaiian Village:

1. Go Waikiki Shuttle (Recommended): $50/person roundtrip, pre-booked, direct service, no surprises
2. Taxi: $65-85 one-way, metered, potential for traffic-related price increases
3. Uber/Lyft: $45-120+ depending on surge pricing, wait times can be 30-60 minutes during peak arrivals
4. Rental Car: $55-90/day plus $35-50/day parking at Hilton Hawaiian Village, gas, insurance
5. Public Bus (TheBus): $3/person, but requires multiple transfers, not luggage-friendly, takes 90+ minutes

For most families, our shuttle service hits the sweet spot – affordable, comfortable, and reliable.

es! That’s exactly what we do. Go Waikiki Shuttle provides scheduled shuttle service from HNL Airport directly to the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, with multiple daily departures coordinated around flight arrival times.

Unlike some airport shuttle services that make 6-8 hotel stops before reaching your destination, we operate efficiently to get you to the Hilton Hawaiian Village quickly. Most rides include only 1-2 other hotel stops in the Waikiki area.

Yes! We provide direct drop-off service to all towers and buildings within the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort complex, including:

• Ali’i Tower
• Rainbow Tower
• Kalia Tower
• Diamond Head Tower
• Tapa Tower
• Grand Waikikian Tower
• Lagoon Tower

Just let us know which tower you’re staying in when you book, and we’ll drop you right at your entrance – no need to drag your luggage across the resort property.

Uber and Lyft pricing from HNL to Hilton Hawaiian Village typically ranges from $45-75 during normal times, but I’ve seen surge pricing drive that up to $120+ during peak travel periods – especially around holidays, weekends, or when multiple flights land simultaneously.

The challenge with rideshare services at Honolulu Airport is twofold: First, you might wait 30-90 minutes in the designated rideshare pickup area during busy times. Second, the final price isn’t locked in until the ride is complete, so that $45 estimate might become $87 if traffic is bad.

Our $50/person roundtrip rate ($100 minimum) includes BOTH your arrival and departure transfers, making it more economical than even one-way rideshare during non-surge times, plus you have the peace of mind of knowing your exact cost upfront.

If we’re talking absolute cheapest, TheBus (Oahu’s public transportation) costs just $3 per person. However, it requires transferring between multiple routes, doesn’t accommodate large luggage well, and takes 90+ minutes – time you could be spending at the beach.

The best value (not just cheapest price) is our shared shuttle service at $50/person roundtrip. You get comfortable, air-conditioned transportation with luggage handling, flight tracking, and direct hotel drop-off. When you factor in the roundtrip nature of our pricing, it’s actually more affordable than most one-way alternatives.

Pricing is for roundtrip shuttle service. It includes an arrival airport transfer to Hilton Hawaiian Village and Hilton Hawaiian Village transfer to airport departure when it’s time for you to depart.

Yes, it’s $50 per person with a $100 minimum.

We do have a $100 minimum. Because of our costs, we require a $100 minimum, whether it be one person or two. Then it’ll be $50 per person thereafter.

Yes, you may. It’ll just be at the minimum price of $100.

Absolutely – in fact, I highly recommend it! Pre-booking your airport shuttle to Hilton Hawaiian Village gives you:

• Guaranteed pricing (no surge, no surprises)
• Confirmed pickup time aligned with your flight arrival
• One less thing to worry about when you land exhausted
• Priority service over walk-up requests
• Added peace of mind that your transportation is secured

You can reserve your Hilton Hawaiian Village shuttle service online here or call us at (808) 797-7950. We recommend booking 2-4 weeks before your trip, though we can often accommodate last-minute requests with 24-48 hours notice.

The distance from Honolulu Airport (HNL) to Hilton Hawaiian Village is approximately 9 miles. Under normal traffic conditions, the drive takes 20-30 minutes via H-1 Freeway and Nimitz Highway.

However, here’s what 15 years of experience has taught me: that “20-30 minutes” can stretch to 45-60 minutes during morning rush hour (7-9am) or afternoon traffic (3:30-6pm). That’s why we build buffer time into our departure pickups – I never want you to miss your flight because of H-1 traffic.

Children under 4 years of age are free.

Yes. We have child car seats that you can rent for a small additional fee.

No. We do not charge for your luggage pieces. There is only an additional fee for large items such as Golf Bags and Bicycles.

Yes. We offer shuttle services to anywhere on Oahu island. But our special $50 rate only applies to shuttle services to Waikiki hotels.
