ワイキキトロリー ワイキキ巡回トロリーまたはミニバス 乗り放題1・4日間券(アラモアナ、ダイアモンドヘッド、カカアコ、東海岸など)

It was convenient to use. 便利に使えました

Reviewed by: ケンケン

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。

Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

First timer

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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.

Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

Our driver saved the day!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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!

Too short

Reviewed by: Gabriela

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.

Well worth it! Recommend.

Reviewed by: Sunbrn

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.

Excellent Pearl Harbour tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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!

Pearl Harbor and Arizona Memorial

Reviewed by: mama d

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.

Home of the Brave Pearl Harbor & Military Base Tour

Wow - what an amazing tour this was

Reviewed by: Meg Amor

This Home of the Brave tour was absolutely fantastic. We looked at a lot of tours but this one sounded the most interesting. And it certainly out to be so.

From start to finish our brilliant tour guide Olav told us fascinating and riveting information on the Pearl Harbour attack - a lot that we didn't know! He is a mine of information and as a tour guide he was one of the best I've ever been on a tour with. Great easy style, marvellous interesting information, and a good sense of humor. He got everyone organized without any fuss or muss and was fun to be with.

What this man doesn't know about Pearl Harbour - I wouldn't think is much. He had pictures and played big band music, clips, and riveting information on all sorts of levels, fun, factual, historical, the spies, the politics, the battle. Very very good.

I would highly recommend this tour. Nice smallish group - about 20 people and it was easy. Loved this tour. Excellent leader and well worth the money. Thanks

History in the Making

Reviewed by: Russ & Barb

My father was stationed in Pearl Harbor for four (4) years commencing one (4) month after the attack. I wanted to at least have a hands on experience as to what he went through and the conditions during that specific timeframe.

Jim was the consummate tour guide. His knowledge of the "inside" and side-bar stories of the Pearl Harbor attack, many focusing on the US Army Air Corps participation, enhanced all of the stops we made: the USS Arizona Memorial, Wheeler Field, Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter and National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl National Cemetery). These stories fill in the spaces that most of us have in our knowledge of the attack. In fact, I was extremely impressed with Jim’s knowledge in areas that I had not heard and/or read about over the years of conversation with my Mom and Dad and/or studies associated with this part of our history.

I especially enjoyed Jim’s setting the scene at all of the stops. He wants to place you in that place at that

Informative Tour

Reviewed by: Iain F.

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.

Trolley トローリー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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。

Pearl Harbor & Missouri Tour

Reviewed by: The Metcalf Family

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.

Pearl Harbor Tour

Reviewed by: Max

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!

Well Worth the Money!

Reviewed by: Oregon Traveler

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.

Senior discount シニア割り

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!

I have only one complaint, the instructions to get to the hotel to meet the tour were very poor.
I think that they would be fine if a person knew the area, but we had never even been on that island. However once again Olafe was great. He waited for us and we made it. I am 61 years old and I have wanted to see that memorial for at least 50 years. I would have been heart broken if I had missed it.

We took the "Home Of The Brave" tour and it is a day that will live in infamy for us. If you are a history buff, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. We spent our time with Brandon (the world's greatest and most informed tour guide) as he took us through the events leading up to and and including the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending at Punchbowl National Cemetery. If you do no other tour when you are on Oahu, this is the one to do. Brandon provided unique insight into the historical events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because of his enthusiasm, we have since started to do our own research into the whole history that is available and not just the bits and pieces that we have seen through movies.This is just a bit if the info that we have found.

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.

 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。

Great Tour

Reviewed by: Val

I was impressed by the audio visuals used and the visuals used for USS Arizona tour and the Home of Brave portion of the tour.
The tour guide gave us some highlights of the USS Arizona attack as we waited in line for the Memorial to open.
Everything worked well: the extra tidbits, pictures in the van/shuttle, audio visuals; and the stops we made were interesting that also related with the audio visuals.
At the end of the tour, we stopped at a little museum and we were presented with a free post card that showed the areas that we had visited.

Oh - the meal on base that was all you can eat (not included in the price) but very good and less than $10. Great tour - it was a great way to start the vacation off in spite of the rain we experienced in the morning as we waited for the Memorial to open. I now have a $2 poncho that I purchased outside the Memorial and never had to use for the 12 days of my Hawaii stay. It's more of a conversation piece now :)
