Sorry to bump an old thread but I don't see another Hawaii one in this forum. How feasible is it to bike around the Honolulu area to see the main sites? I was hoping to rent two bikes with my girlfriend for a few days and see Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma, etc. without having to drive around or get cabs. We would be based in Waikiki, we are in good shape, and we bike moderately often in NYC. However NYC has tons of protected lanes and is relatively flat, while from what I'm reading Honolulu only has a few bike lanes and can be quite hilly.

I've not lived in HNL for going on 9 years now, but I wouldn't really recommend it based on what I remember. As you said, there really aren't that many protected lanes for bikes. If you are really just planning on hanging out in Honolulu you can get around using the bus. It won't be very convenient, and you'll waste a lot of time waiting for it, but it covers a lot of HNL.

Otherwise, I'd really recommend just renting a car. If it's a cost thing, I can recommend a decently priced place that I use everytime I go back to the islands. You'll spend around anywhere from $30 - 70 a day depending on your selection of car and if you opt for insurance, but you'll also be able to go see more of the island.
