For 25? you can go just about anywhere including around the island. School age children ride for 10?. If you'd like to take the four hour trip around Oahu, board the #8 bus to Ala Moana Center requesting a transfer to Kaneohe/Wahiawa or Wahiawa/Kaneohe . They both circle the island but in different directions. If you stay on the same bus for the entire trip, you'll have to pay another 25? at Ala Moana for the #8 bus which takes you back to Waikiki. Should you get off during your trip and board another bus, request a transfer to use at the Ala Moana Center. Take exact change. Drivers cannot make change. Luggage and large parcels are not allowed on the bus. Waikiki buses are often full, but don't fret. They run every three minutes. Most of the buses you will take from Waikiki downtown should be boarded on Kuhio Ave. If you need a transfer, ask for one when you board the bus, not when you exit.
