Location | • Bamboo Bungalows is located on the West Side of the Island of Oahu. Honolulu is the 11th largest city in the United States. Honolulu is located also on the West Side of Oahu, but South from the Honolulu international Airport.
• We are located North of the Airport. When you arrive, go east one block to Nimitz Hwy, you can't miss it, for it's two stories, you will be on the bottom level, Nimitz.
• Take a left, which will be Northern in Direction. Within seconds, you will see a sign in the right lane stating, H-1 to the Waianae Coast. Take that entrance.
• If you are taking the Bus, cross over Nimitz Hwy using of course the lights, go to the Mountain or East side of Nimitz Hwy, a bus stop is on your Left first or you can go down another 100 yards towards town and there is another. I suggest the closer.
• Take either the 40 , 40C , or 93. I always suggest the 40C, as it's twice as big as any other bus and is the express, twice as fast. You must have exact U.S. change, $2.00. You cannot take luggage, only Backpacks or Duffle bags, whatever fits on your lap.
• Bus drivers have to follow rules also. H-1 freeway next stop on the 40C is the 2nd city of Oahu, all brand new and nice. The town of Kapolei, that is where the Bus Station is, stay on your Bus.
• Once you depart, the Bus driver will get on the same freeway you were on, but at this point the name has changed to Farrington Hwy. That is a good thing for you, as now you will be able to see the Ocean, as Farrington Hwy runs parallel to the Ocean.
• Within 2-3 minutes you will see a 10 billion dollar resort on the Left, Ko Olina. It's open to the public and has 4 man made Lagoons with clear calm water for swimming. Next you will see one of our two Power Plants on the right, Diver and Snorkelers will be on your left enjoying tropical fish which are drawn to the Hot jetted water pumped into the Ocean.
• First town is Nanakuli, next town Maili, then Waianae, lotsa stores, especially Tamura's Grocery which has the 2nd cheapest eats and drinks of all kinds, 1/2 of say our Safeway Grocery store.
• Then Makaha, last light @ 7-11 and Paradise tourist store which rents Snorkels, Swim Fins, Kayaks, Surfboard and also inexpensive Ocean Gear. If the bus lets you off there, we are only a 1 minute car ride on Farrington Hwy or 4-5 minute walk on Farrington to Jade Street. Take a right on Jade street, walk less than 100 yards towards the Mountains, it's flat, 1st street is Hana, next street is Hanalei Street. We are the 3rd property on the left. Can't miss it, 13 foot surfboard mounted on our Fence.
• Should you like to call from 7-11, get two U.S. quarters, dial 695-5299 or 695-0902. I will pick you up for free. Just ask the Bus driver if you are close to Makaha, for the Waianae Coast has about 6 qty 7-11's....
