 | | Honolulu Airport: In the Midst of Paradise | | | There are three main terminals, named Ewa, Diamond Head and Interisland. All are serviced by the Wiki-Wiki Bus, a fast and free shuttle that takes you from the arrivals gate to the main terminal and baggage claim. After you clear customs, transportation attendants just outside the door can flag down taxis and shuttles or direct you to rental cars and public transportation.
Immigration and customs clearance at Honolulu International can sometimes require a great deal of patience. Therefore, if you are able to clear customs from your point of origin, such as Canada, Bermuda and certain Caribbean countries, it would be to your benefit.
Another thing to keep in mind is the agricultural screening in Hawaii. Baggage is checked for fresh fruit or plants. Unless you have such items preinspected and certified for export, they will be confiscated.
Hawaii is also strict on the importation of animals, even family pets. All animals arriving must undergo a quarantine period at the owner’s expense, unless you have prior authorization and medical clearance.
Although the majority of accommodation space is in Waikiki, Honolulu International does offer several hotels onsite. | | | |  | | |
