TRAVEL TIPS
FLIGHTS
Fly into Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)
Rental Cars: Renting a car is highly recommended for guests who want to explore the island, as rideshare availability can be limited on the North Shore, especially in the evenings.
Travel Time: Allow approximately 60–90 minutes to travel between HNL Airport and Turtle Bay, depending on traffic.
Airport Transfers: Guests who don't plan to rent a car can look into booking a private airport transfer or shuttle service in advance.
Traffic: Oʻahu traffic can be unpredictable, so we recommend allowing extra travel time when heading to scheduled wedding festivities.
