AIRPORT SHUTTLE SERVICES

NOTE: For those of you staying in on-campus housing, you might want to contact the shuttle companies in advance to see if they offer shuttle service to UH Manoa and what their rates are. If they offer a reasonable price for the service (i.e., cheaper than the cost of a taxi ride), you might consider making arrangements with them.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO UH MANOA

From the Honolulu International Airport, UH Mānoa is about a 20-minute drive (non-rush hour traffic). Take H-1 east for approximately 20 minutes. Then take the University Avenue (24B) exit. The exit ramp takes you onto University Avenue, from which you will take your first right at the signal onto Dole Street.

From Waikiki, UH Mānoa is about a 10-minute drive. Turn off of Kuhio Avenue onto Ala Wai Blvd (one-way), which runs along the Ala Wai Canal. Turn right on McCully Street (it will take you over a bridge that spans the Ala Wai Canal). Turn right at the first signal onto Kapiolani Avenue. A few blocks down, turn left at the signal onto University Avenue and keep heading up the street (toward the mountains) until you cross under the H-1 Highway overpass. Turn right at the first signal onto Dole Street.

Then . . .

  • To park in the 5-story parking structure ($4 a day) on lower campus, turn right off of Dole Street at the first traffic light (onto Lower Campus Rd). There is plenty of space in the parking structure, and it serves as a good option. The conference venue is about a 5-10 minute walk from the parking structure.
  • To park next to the Imin Center (aka Jefferson Hall), you will need to obtain a special parking pass ($5 a day) in advance (no later than January 31, 2013). Please contact us for more information. If you have your special parking pass, turn left off of Dole at the third traffic light onto East-West Road. After you pass the entrance kiosk, proceed forward for about a block. Park in the grassy area to the left of the Imin Center. (Do NOT park in front of the Imin Center itself).

    GETTING AROUND HONOLULU & THE ISLAND OF O‘AHU

    THE BUS
    Route and Schedule Information: (808) 848-5555. Website: http://www.thebus.org

    O‘ahu's bus system, logically dubbed "TheBUS," offers island-wide service. The cost for a one-way fare is $2.50 for adults, $1.25 for elementary and high school students, and $1.00 for seniors; exact change is appreciated. Riders are allowed to transfer to any connecting line as long as it is going in the same general direction. Request a transfer slip from the bus driver when you board the bus.

    A $25 Oahu Discovery Passport (good for 4 consecutive days) can be bought from ABC Stores in Waikiki and the Ala Moana Shopping Center and from the Bus Pass Office. This may be a good option for attendees relying on the bus for transportation during the conference.

    To go between the airport and Waikiki, take either Bus #19 or #20. If you are going from the airport to UH Manoa, transfer from Bus #19 or #20 at Ala Moana Shopping Center to Bus #6 (University bound) or Bus #18 (University bound).

    To go from Waikiki to the UH Mānoa campus, you should take Bus #4 (Westbound toward University and Nuuanu). It starts on Monsarrat Avenue on the other side of the Honolulu Zoo in Kapiolani Park. Ask the concierge or front desk at your hotel for directions to it. Buses typically come every 20 minutes, and it'll take around 20 minutes to get to the university, again depending on traffic. Once you arrive on campus, use the following map to guide you from the bus stop to the Imin Center.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: People carrying large suitcases or baggage are not allowed on TheBUS. If you have smaller items, you can ride on the bus. Click here for baggage rules for The Bus.
