Are there free shuttles from Pearl Harbor to the Swap Meet at the Aloha Stadium?

[fairytalelover]

I heard we can catch a free shuttle from Pearl Harbor to the Swap Meet. We figure we will park at Pearl Harbor, go on the tours there then go to the swap meet. But we want to keep our car at the free parking at Pearl Harbor. Is this possible?

 

[buffettgirl]

not that I know of.

Then if we park at Pearl Harbor what's the best way to get to the swap meet?

There is parking at the Swap Meet if you're driving yourself. We actually booked a tour through a tour operator that took us to Pearl Harbor, handled getting our tour tickets for us, and then drove us to the Swap Meet after Pearl Harbor. It picked us up from our Waikiki hotel but they may service other areas as well - it was Discover Hawaii Tours.

Is it free parking at the swap meet? We are trying to avoid getting buckled and dimed for parking everywhere. The $37 per night at aulani is already frustrating enough.

Its a very short drive away.

Yes, parking is free. It's $1 per person to enter the swap meet.

in that case it seems like a better idea to just drive our rental car there after we are done at Pearl harbor or even before pearl harbor.

That's no doubt the best plan. Bring a couple of bottles of water with you, at least for the flea market. There is a fair amount of walking involved as you browse all those shops.

Don't they sell bottled water at the swap meet ?

I don't remember seeing any drinks or food except for a few fruit stands and snacks. I would bring your own. It's a fair hike around the stadium!

There are only a couple concessions stands around, and they are just other folks who set up as part of the swap meet. I'm not sure if they are there all the time, it's not as if they were permanent structures. We went inside the stadium to use the restroom and there was a trailer near it set up with iced coffee, some food items, and bottled water.

But you pay to "enter" before you park, so just be aware of that.
