Going from Honolulu to San Francisco? Grab your kayak!

It’s 3,613 miles from Honolulu to San Francisco. If you’re driving, it’ll take you 14 days 19 hours. Be sure to leave plenty of time for kayaking, as you go from the Turtle Bay Hilton in Waikiki (near Diamond Head) to Seattle.

Don’t ask why we were asking Google Maps for directions from Honolulu to San Francisco. Also, don’t ask why the software wants you to make landfall up in Washington State, and then drive down I-5 through Oregon to get to San Francisco. It seems that it would be much shorter to kayak directly to San Francisco’s Ocean Beach.

But it is quite amusing that on the directions it says,

14. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean 2,756 mi

    Very funny! I stumbled upon the same thing when I accidentally searched for directions from Atlassian’s Sydney, Australia headquarters to our San Francisco, CA office. 55 days in a kayak? No problem!
