All Reviews for Downtown Honolulu

The Royal Start tour to Pearl Harbor was more than I had hoped for. "Cousin Jerry" was an amazing guide and made us feel like ohana (family). The comfort of the tour bus was very very nice. The visit to the Arizona was everything I expected and was a very emotional time for me, being a Navy veteran. We really felt like we got our money worth and definitely recommend the Royal Star tours.

There were so many Pearl Harbor tours to choose from, I thought my head was going to explode just trying to decide. In the end, I was glad we chose this one. We had a lot of time on our own to explore Pearl Harbor and there were optional audio tours available for an additional fee, but we didn't do that. There was so much to take in and see as it was!

Had a great time!!

Our family really enjoyed the tour of Pearl Harbor and the Battleship Missouri. It was very informative and easy for our kids to follow along. Our tour guide, Frank, was the best! Very personable and helpful with any questions.

This trolley not only allows you to get around the city but also takes you to Diamond Head and Kahala Mall, and I use it every year without fail. You can use it for four days on any day during your stay, and the ability to extend the days you don't use it adds to the value. Many of the drivers are entertaining, so you won't get bored.

このトロリーは、市内の移動だけでなくダイヤモンドヘッド観光やカハラモールまでいく事が出来、毎年必ず使っています。
滞在中のどの日でも4日間分使用でき、中日に使用しない日は延長でき使う日に使用できるのもお得感があります。
運転手も面白い方が多く飽きさせません。

When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね！
現地スタッフ（チケット引き換え所）のおじいちゃん？も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり！乗らなきゃ損です。
停車中には写真も取ってくれます♪
移動だけの手段だけではなく、楽しい運転手の話しを聞きながらワイキキ周辺を探索出来ました。
次回も絶対に参加しま~す！

Very moving experience, made all the more meaningful by an excellent tour - on time and very insightful.

This time, we used the trolley bus for my parents during our family trip. It was their second time in Hawaii, and they were very happy to finally ride the bus and enjoy it! Both of them got the senior discount, which was a good deal, but since they didn't ride it much over the four days, I thought it might have been better for me to pay the fare each time instead.

今回は、家族旅行にて父母の為にトロリーバスを利用しました。2回目のハワイで、ようやくバスにのり満喫できた！と大変喜んでいました。2人ともシニア料金でお得でしたが、1日でもあまり回数をならなく、4日間も乗らなかったので、私はその都度乗車料金を払うほうが…よかったかなと思いました。

Cousin Jerry was the best! So knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great chat about all things Hawaii! We were lucky we were the only ones seeing Mighty Mo and the city tour in our group so it. The bus to Might Mo was operated by Roberts, they were great too. We will be back!!!

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and everything was enjoyable from start to finish! If you're learning HULA, this is a must-visit!

ガイドの方の案内がとても分かりやすく、また上品で隅から隅まで満喫できました！
ＨＵＬＡを習ってる人は特に行くべきです！

I had an amazing day at Pearl Harbor. I didn´t go to the USS memorial because I don´t like boats. But instead I went on the USS Bowfin a fantastic experience. The USS Missouri battleship was awesome ! And it is so big, you need to set good time for this activiti so you can enjoy everything. And take the guided tours, they are really great. Also a big hand for the busdriver that day, Cathrine. She was great, smiling, happy, talked with everybody and maked all of us smiling. I was the only one who did the big tour in Pearl Harbor that day. On the way back she drove through Punchbowl and China town, really sweet and an exstra service for me. Fantastic day.

The JTB trolley bus is good, but the four-day unlimited pass for this trolley bus was very convenient as you can choose the days you want to use it, even during a seven-day stay. The staff at the ticket booth were kind and considerate, even worrying about our final departure, which made it very reassuring for families. The trolley bus drivers were friendly and entertaining, and they prioritized safety, especially for children.

JTBのトロリーバスも良いですが、こちらのトロリーバスの４日間乗り放題は、使う日を選べ７日滞在でも使う日だけ４日間使え非常に便利でした。チケット売り場の方も最終の心配をしてくれたり、親切で家族でも安心して使う事ができました。トロリーバスの運転手さんも気さくで面白くしかも子どもに気遣い安全第一でした。

I'm from NZ and am intending on bringing some 11-12yr olds back next year. I found it very moving and am sure everyone who attends will also be the same. I hope that when I do bring my students back that they will also appreciate and understand the impact it has had on everyone involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Initially, we were told that we were unable to tour the Arizona until 30 minutes before we needed to check out of our hotel. Our driver, Cousin Jerry, saved the day. He walked up to the ticket booth and obtained tickets for my entire family for a tour three hours earlier. This gave us plenty of time to tour the Arizona and Honolulu and have lunch. He really went the extra mile for us!

Waited 40+ years to go, way too long, something that every American should see. But needed more time, than 1 day. If opportunity came, would go back and spend more time.

The main benefit in this tour was to have someone else stand in line and get the tickets and drive around. The Arizona memorial and Missouri tours are handled basically self tours. My favorite portion was the oral history as told by our guide, Cousin Jerry. This was too short. I wish I had heard more from him.

The tour and the tour bus were excellent. We got tickets to the Arizona shuttle/tour as advertised and the driver was fun and informative. Worth the price for the "front of the line" tickets at the Arizona. Family of 6 really enjoyed the experience and it was the right duration for the youngest (5).

The instructions for pickup at 635am were vague enough to cause a little confusion for us because the hotel where we were picked up is closed and under renovation. And the point of contact number on the voucher was not answered at that time of the morning to make sure we were at the correct location. A little "personal attention to detail" giving more information would have gone a long way to make the pickup less stressful. This is our only complaint... minor.

The tour to Pearl Harbour and the US Arizona was very interesting and educational. We are not Americans and were impressed at the objectivity apparent in the various museums and displays. The Arizona Memorial is moving, all the more so as it is still leaking oil and we are forced to remember that it is something real, not a recreation or imagined scene.
Our guide, Frank, was personable and full of stories and information. He was fun!

Everyone should experience this tour sometime during their life. The memorial is a tragic, yet holy and beautiful tribute to our fallen military who died so suddenly on Dec. 7, 1941.

The tour operator was very informative and treated everyone like family. The downtown tour was full of history and tidbits shared by our driver, "Cousin Jerry", a full blooded older Hawaiian gentleman.

This may not be the best for younger kids but if they have any interest in the worlds history then this will be perfect. The memorial is breathtaking and a real tear jerker. I would recommend anyone visiting Oahu must see it. We had a mix up on the pickup location so we got on the bus about 30 minutes late but still made the memorial with plenty of time before our showing of the movie. The place is great and the stories behind it our sobering. The Mighty Mo is great for the whole family. Lots of cool things to touch and see. The tour continues with the downtown trip and punch bowl drive through. Both were well timed and needed after the long day of walking.

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I planned to get around using the trolley. The Pink Line comes about every 10 minutes, which was very convenient, but the Red and Green Lines only come every 35 minutes and don't always arrive on time, so I felt a bit of inconvenience. Next time, I plan to ride the Pink Line for free with my JCB card and buy a pass for The BUS to get around.

今回は初めてのハワイということで、トローリーで動き回る計画でプランニングしました。ピンクラインはだいたい10分おきにくるので、大変便利でしたが、レッドとグリーンは35分おきとはいえ時間通りにこないので、少し不便さを感じました。次回はJCBカードでピンクラインにタダで乗って、The　BUSのPassを買って動いてみようと思います。

We took the Pearl Harbor tour with the Missouri. Sandy was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Very nice, fun and entertaining, plus knowledgeable. The bus was really big and comfortable (not like most of the yucky shuttles) and Sandy drove around Waikiki effortlessly. Amazing!

The Arizona Memorial is a must-see, although it is not exciting so kids are easily bored. On the other hand, the tour of the Missouri is great for all ages. We did the audio tour with the iTouch device, and my 13-year-old thought it was like an adventure to find the next location. We were able to explore and listen at our convenience.

The Punchbowl was closed for Memorial Day, but Sandy took us to Pal"i lookout, which was a beautiful sight and the drive up was very informational too.

Overall, a terrific tour that we are so glad we did and the price was VERY affordable. Many of the tours I saw were way over-priced, as I cannot see what they could offer over the tour we took.

We were much

I think it was especially valuable for us as a senior couple. We went through all the routes and were able to get on and off multiple times, which I believe was a great deal. I definitely think seniors should take advantage of this.

私達夫婦はシニアでの購入でしたから、特に価値あるものだったと思います。全ルートを回りましたし、何度も乗降を繰り返す事が出来て超お値打ちと思います。
シニアの方は絶対に利用すべきだと思います。

The tour was what you'd expect about the Pearl Harbor experience. Our driver was exceptional! He was really friendly, helpful, and went beyond our expectations. At one point as I was talking to my wife on the cell phone (in Fl), I gave him the phone and he talked to her. When the Punchbowl visit was closed for some reason, he took us to another location to enjoy. He offered to drop us off at the swap meet and come back for us at a later time, which wasn't even a part of our tour. Our hotel wasn't a designated drop-off point but he took us there and dropped us off there anyway. I'd definitely book with this company again!

I looked at several sites trying to decide which tour to use for our Pear Harbor Tour and chose using Hawaiian Activities because they provided the best description of the tour companies. It was easy to book on-line and when I called to ask what time the bus would pick us up at the hotel, the customer service agent immediately called the company to find out. That to me is service so I booked with them. Booking before you arrive on the island makes life so much easier because everywhere you look, there are tours being promoted and it can be confusing.

The company I chose did a marvelous job. Our coach was clean and air conditioned and the driver/tour guide was marvelous. He told us so much about the history of Hawaii that his narration brought so much more value to the tour. The same applied to the tour guide we had for the USS Missouri. He brought the signing of the armistice with General McArthur, the Allies and the Japanese to life in ways no history book can.

I will def

Did you know that there is a "Senior Discount" for the trolley? I have used the trolley many times, but this is the first time I learned about the discount. For our family trip, we only used it for my mother (72 years old), but of course, the savings went towards something "delicious." They didn't ask for any proof when exchanging tickets (just a visual check by the attendant).

I highly recommend the Blue Line! It feels amazing!

トロリーに『シニア割』がある事を知っていますか？
何度もトロリーを使っていましたが、今回初めて割引がある事を知りました
家族旅行で母（７２歳）一人分のみですが、浮いた分は勿論「美味しい」物に化けました
チケット交換時に証明するものの提示は求められませんでした（おばちゃんの目視のみ）

ブルーラインはお勧めですよ！！
気持ちぃ~~ぜぇ　っと絶叫します

I was told by a friend that it would be better to move by taxi, but after trying this trolley, which is not available in Japan, I can say it was refreshing and pleasant. I took the Blue Line to Hanauma Bay. I also frequently used the Pink Line for shopping.

友人からはタクシーで移動すればいいのでは？？と言われていましたが日本にはないこのトロリーという乗りものに乗ってみて思ったのは開放感があり気持ちいいの一言です。ブルーラインでハナウマ湾まで行ってきました。あとお買い物にピンクラインをよく利用しました。

I enjoyed the East Coast, including Hanauma Bay, by taking the Blue Line at the end of the year. It was not crowded, and it was great to experience the unique buses of Hawaii.

年末にブルーラインにのってハナウマ湾など東海岸を楽しみました。空いていたしハワイ独特のバスでよかったですよ。

I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. Major travel companies have their own trolleys, but if you come through personal arrangements or other travel companies, the Waikiki Trolley is like a reliable sneaker.
I always use the Waikiki Trolley, and we frequently rely on the Pink Line and Red Line as our main means of transportation.

ハワイのリピーターです。大手旅行会社は専用トロリーがありますが、個人手配や、その他の旅行会社で来た場合は頼りにになるワイキキのスニーカーのようなものです。
　いつもワイキキトロリーを利用しており、特にピンクラインとレッドラインが我が家の足として頻繁に利用しています。

In Oahu, your transportation options will be The Bus, taxis, rental cars, or trolleys. Each has its pros and cons, but for a schedule of 4 nights and 6 days or 5 nights and 7 days, the trolley is convenient and affordable. It operates on designated routes: Red Line, Blue Line, Pink Line, and Yellow Line.

Basically, this trolley takes you around the main tourist spots in Oahu, making it perfect for short stays.

It's a mode of transport not found in Japan, and feeling the dry breeze of Waikiki is one of the joys of traveling to Hawaii.

オアフでの足は、ザ・バス、タクシー、レンタカー、トロリーのいづれかになる。おのおの長所・短所があるが、４泊６日や５泊７日のスケジュールで便利でお手軽なのが、このトロリーだ。レッドライン/ブルーライン/ピンクライン/イエローラインと所定のコースを回ってくれる。

　基本的にこのトロリーでオアフのメインの観光地を回ってくれるので短期滞在にもってこいである。

　日本にはない乗り物で、ワイキキの乾いた風を感じるのもハワイ旅行の楽しみのひとつだ。
