Instead, most people just hop on a quick, easy flight, which takes only 30-45 minutes. And since there aren’t many ferry services, flying is way more convenient. So, while boating sounds fun, it's just not the best way to travel in Hawaii! 🌴🌞 Credit: CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... sandy beach in Pyrgaki: by Georgios Tsampounaris, https://skfb.ly/oFDZN Siesta: by Emm, https://skfb.ly/opUKS SEA TRANSIT: by Charles O'Rear, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:\"SEA_TRANSIT\"_FERRY_HAS_BEEN_OPERATING_FOR_ONE_YEAR_BETWEEN_DOWNTOWN_HONOLULU_AND_PEARL_HARBOR_-_AN_ALTERNATIVE_TO..._-_NARA_-_553793.jpg, https://flic.kr/p/bFdAo5 The Boat ferry ride: by Daniel Ramirez, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://flic.kr/p/5oV7hm Superferry aerial: by Christopher P.
