Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was hoping to get a bit of advice! My partner and I are headed to Oahu for a brief six day trip in June and we were wondering whether or not renting a car is worth it. Our hotel is in Waikiki right on the beach, and we mostly intend to be lazy and mostly just do beach-y things anyway, but if we decided to venture inward are taxis/public transportation fine? We'd also like to do some kind of wildlife viewing, like go birdwatching or go snorkeling to see dolphins/rays... any recommendations? Thanks!

Driving in Honolulu is a lovely experience, you can easily get around via taxi/bus in Honolulu. If you want to get out and explore the island then IIRC they have ZipCar

Personally I think that Honolulu is a bad place to do the lazy beach thing, is it too late to move your hotel to like the north shore or a whole different island altogether? Maui and the Big Island have some of the best beaches in the world

Can anyone recommend which island is best if neither myself or my partner drive? Are cabs plentiful and reasonably cheapish?

Maui has a bus system that can take you to most of the good places, and there are bus tours that go to Hana if you're interested in that. Oahu has that too
