How long is the drive from Waikiki to Kailua?
Last updated:
Plan 30-45 minutes via the Pali Highway (H-61) or the Likelike (H-63). Both cross the Koʻolau via tunnel; the Pali is more scenic. Morning windward-bound traffic is lighter than afternoon return. For an 8 a.m. Hoʻokuaʻāina workday in Kailua, leave Waikiki by 7:00 a.m.
