Note that the price for parking your car is about the same as the rental cost, so basically doubling your price. Waikiki couldn’t be any more central. You have the beach on one side and Kalakaua Ave (the main drag) on the other side of the beach hotels. You can walk everywhere. I’d recommend just renting a car for the days when you want to do an excursion like the North Shore and then return it at night so you don’t have to park it. There’s 2 very convenient Hertz locations in the Imperial and Hyatt hotels.

I also highly recommend doing a dolphin swim with Dolphin Excursions if you would rather see these amazing creatures in the wild instead of trapped in an aquarium. Lunch and transportation are included in the price.
