Getting Around Town:
Shuttle: This is the cheapest option at 30tl (cash) per ride.
-When you're in town, you can find the minibus by the mosque at the end of the main square plan to use the minibus to get to other destinations, you can
Rent a Scooter:
This is my favorite way to get around because of the freedom to get up and go when you want, and guaranteed to always find easy parking.
Rent a car:
If you plan to do things roadtrip style or go to beaches further away, this could be a good option! But keep in mind that parking can be tricky on the narrow roads. (Just a tip, if you return the car on the last day even 1 hour past the time you originally picked the car up on the first day, then you will get charged for an additional 24 hours.)
Staying Connected:
- Sole'n Blu has amazing wifi connection!
- You can download "Organic Maps" in the App Store. It can be used completely offline once you download your map, so you won’t need to rely on an internet connection to figure out where you’re going. There is also "Instabridge" or "Wifi Map" (Free Wifi + Finder): It is like a Wi-Fi community; users can use the app to access free Wi-Fi around them.

Bars/Nightlife/Drinks
O'ahu has never been known for its nightlife, although it does exist. Each place is different as far as the vibe! For example, some places below will be good for partying, and some for lounging/casual.
If you're looking to hop around different bars/parties and stay up late, catch an Uber to Chinatown on the "hotel street" and explore that one block. This area is especially best during the weekends!
It's important to note that some hostels typically have social nightlife parties and events going on, so make sure to look into those as well if that's what you're into!
