Oahu
City Lights was very beautiful, and I was able to take lots of wonderful photos. I think it's worth a visit. There aren't many attractions until you reach the city hall, but I thought it would be even more exciting if there were cheerful music and explanations, typical of overseas experiences.
The trolley boarding and alighting spots were a bit confusing, and especially on the way back, there were many lost Japanese tourists. On the way there, it wasn't next to DFS, but at the trolley stop deep inside on the first floor, and on the way back, it was the same place as the bus stop where we got off on the way there.
シティライツは、とっても綺麗で素敵な写真もいっぱい撮れました。行って損はないと思います。市庁舎に着くまでは、特に見所はないのですが、海外らしく陽気な音楽や説明で盛り上げてくれたら、もっとワクワクするのになーと思いました。
トロリーの乗り降りする場所が、少し分かりづらく、特に帰りは迷子の日本人がたくさんいたのですが、行きはDFSの横ではなく、1階の奥のトロリー乗り場で、帰りは行きで降りたバス停と同じ場所でした。

The meeting point for the trolley bus was hard to find.
I observed from the second floor of the bus.
After seeing the line of people waiting to board, I decided to go back without getting off.
The first floor was full.
トロリーバスの待ち合わせ場所が分かりにくかった。
バスの２階席から見学しました。
現地の乗車待ちの列を見て、降車せずにそのまま帰りました。
1階は満員でした。

I was recommended by a local guide on another tour to see the Christmas lights, so I made a last-minute reservation and participated. It was indeed great! My 5-year-old was thrilled to ride on the carousel and other attractions. The trolley also constantly played Christmas songs, creating an amazing atmosphere.
別のツアーで現地のガイドさんにクリスマスイルミは見るべきと勧められたので急遽予約し参加してきました。確かに良かった！5歳の子供もメリーゴーランドなどの乗り物に乗ったりと大はしゃぎ。トロリーも常にクリスマスソングが流れてて雰囲気出てて最高でした。

I enjoyed a one-hour tour around Honolulu City on the trolley, soaking in the atmosphere of the city. From the second floor of the trolley, I was able to enjoy the illuminations and the city vibe while being blown by the wind. I got off in front of King Kamehameha and saw beautiful displays of Snow White and other illuminations at a nearby church.
トロリーでホノルルシティを一時間かけて、ぐるっと周り、街の雰囲気を楽しめました。 トロリーの２階席からイルミネーション、街の雰囲気を、風に吹かれながら、楽しめました。
カメハメ大王の前でおり、近くの教会では、白雪姫、他のイルミネーションが展示され、綺麗です。

I felt that it was less impressive than I expected and the cost was unusually high. It would have been better to go to the location myself rather than taking the bus tour, as I could have had more time, and the return bus was so crowded that I had to stand.
思っていたよりしょぼく費用が異常に高いと感じた。
バスツアーよりも自分で現地へいった方が時間が取れるし、帰りのバスも立ち席になるくらいギチギチでした。

My family & I opted to enjoy the Christmas Lights by riding the Double Decker Bus....Overall experience as Residence Of Honolulu, Awsome!!
I highly recommend the trolley ride...save time on looking for parking, very easy way to enjoy the lights & sights!
This will be our New Family Tradition!
Expensive bus ride to Honolulu Hale where the lights and decor are. Driver was awesome! However in the future I'd save my money and Uber to the lights and carnival. The bus ride is cool but over priced.
Christmas music plays, lifting the spirits. I took the bus that started at 6:00 PM, got off at the city hall, and went to see the Christmas decorations. You can take photos with Santa inside the city hall! There was also a Leonard's Malasada food truck. An hour is enough for sightseeing, but you'll need a bit more time for photos with Santa and the malasadas since there can be a line. I returned on the 8:00 PM bus.
クリスマスの音楽が流れて、気分を盛り上げてくれます。
18:00スタートのバスに乗り、市庁舎で降りて、クリスマス飾りを見てきました。
市庁舎内で、サンタさんと写真が撮れます！レナーズのマラサダのキッチンカーもありました。
観光は1時間あれば十分ですが、サンタさんと写真やマラサダは並ぶので、もう少し必要です。
現場を20:00のバスに乗って戻ってきました。

After skillfully exploring areas with illuminations, it was great to have plenty of time to see the impressive Christmas decorations and illuminations at the city hall on the tour. However, the meeting point designated by Veltra was different from the one specified by the tour organizer, and I almost missed the tour while waiting at the wrong location. Fortunately, a staff member from the organizer came to find me, so I made it in time, but please ensure that the meeting point is clearly confirmed and communicated.
なかなか上手に、イルミネーションのある地域を回った後、市庁舎のクリスマスの立派な飾りつけとイルミネーションを見るツアーで、時間もたっぷりあって、良かったです。
ただし、
ベルトラの指定した待ち合わせ場所と、ツアー主催者が指定した場所とが異なっており、私が待っていた場所では、ツアーに乗り遅れそうになりました。主催者側のスタッフが探しに来てくれましたから、間に合いましたが、しっかりと集合場所を確認して周知するようにしてください。

I went sightseeing on the first day since I could go in the evening, and it was great to get a feel for the atmosphere of the city and the general direction! The meeting point for the trolley was a bit hard to find, but the driver was kind and understanding, which was nice!
The city lights were better than I expected!
夜から行けるということで初日に観光しました、街の雰囲気とかおおよその方向がつかめてよかったです！
トロリーの待ち合わせ場所が分かりづらかったんですが、運転手の方も優しい方で察してくれてよかったです！
シティライトも思っていたより良かったです！

Our driver and tour guide, Lola, did a great job explaining both the history and local importance of the sites we visited. Her sense of humor made the tour all the more enjoyable.
From pick up to drop off we had a fantastic day out, disappointed that the Arizona memorial was closed due to the damaged supports however we did get to view it from the boat that takes you out, our driver Marlon was very knowledgeable about honolulu and surrounding area, we had time to visit downtown including the Iolani palace, 5 o headquarters and chinatown, I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour and would do it again.
Very comfortable bus with a bathroom. Our driver Larry provided a plethora of information about Oahu and Pearl Harbor. Highly recommend both the Arizona and Missouri tours. Take the guided tour on the Missouri as the guide will point out many facts and stories you would not otherwise learn. Food stands at the Missouri are much better than what's available at the Arizona so if you want to snack hold off until you get to the Missouri. This was a great tour and I highly recommend it!
Shame that we couldn’t see the USS Arizona memorial - a real disappointment
Our driver and tour guide, Lola, made this tour such a great experience. Her local knowledge, historic information and passion for Hawaii made the tour for us. Unfortunately the Arizona memorial was off limits for us due to issues but we were still able to drive by and pay our respects.
Just getting back from Hawaii and had to rate this tour to help all of you out there, like myself, who maybe confused on which tour to take when u r in Hawaii. I definitely would recommend you this one with my experience with Larry as our tour guide. He was very informative as well as funny to keep the fun alive atmosphere (especially in the early morning). It included a great city tour visiting the famous palace too and then a chance to visit Pearl Harbor and The Arizona Memorial. The tour was not too long either so it’s perfect for us since we have two middle school aged kids and can plan to do something else later in the day. Unfortunately we did not get to step onto the Arizona Memorial itself due to a crack being repaired currently but it ensured a time slot for us to visit the site after watching a 20 min video clip on the event. Overall, excellent experience and great tour! Thanks Larry!
I'm glad it was easy to participate. The illumination was beautiful. We had time to walk around, but since it was late at night, we took the bus back. It was a bit cold, so I thought it would have been good to bring something warm for the kids.
気軽に参加できて良かったです。
ライトアップはキレイでした。
歩いて回れる時間がありましたが、夜遅かったこともあり、私たちはそのままバスで帰りました。
ちょっと寒いので、子ども用にも、羽織れるものを持ってくれば良かったと思いました。

The tour was really interesting and opened up my eyes about what happened at Pearl Harbour however the Arizona Memorial happened to be closed. One great thing about the tour was hat everyone was really on time so we were able to stop at the palace for 20 mins and walk around and take pictures. The driver was amazing with giving information and thinking on his feet giving us more time at places, very smart and great speaker, and also dropped people off at Waikiki destinations rather than hotels if they desired.
City tour was very good. Bus driver was awesome. Good enough time to see both ships.
The bus motor coach narrator was excellent. Humerous all the way. Will book again with my family! Very educative and informative experience!
We enjoyed the event. Our driver Patrick was very pleasant and knowledgeable. For the price you can’t go wrong! I would recommend for those that want to experience Pearl Harbor and Honolulu in an efficient yet enjoyable way.
Our tour was fantastic! Weather was gorgeous. We were picked up right on time. Patrick our tour guide/bus driver was very informative and fun. Included a tour of Honolulu with one stop off the bus because we were running ahead of schedule. This was a welcome plus to the trip. Would definitely recommend!!!
Nice city tour with special driver but the memorial just acceptable
The tour was wonderful due to Larry's knowledge of Downtown. He was a pleasure to listen to and a good sense of humor. Very organized tour. Thank you
Given I love history and being of pacific island descent I thoroughly enjoyed this. Tours were well versed and the halls had levels of knowledge and artefacts that were quite fascinating. The Kings Room also had an air of the Kings being in the room with you. Great for kids too as the science center very educational but enjoyable.
This definitely exceeded my expectations! The lights outside Honolulu Hale were beautiful but I didn’t even know about all the trees and decorations inside! Everything was gorgeous & so festive. The lights extended down the road & there was so much to do (food, rides, etc). I also enjoyed the trolley ride to and from because parking is of course minimal in the area. Would definitely go again!
I enjoyed participating in the bus tour of the illuminated city at night, which was a view I don't usually get to see! The double-decker bus offered a great view too✨ It can be a bit chilly, so it's better to bring a long-sleeved shirt!
ライトアップの夜の街をバスで走り、普段見れないシティだったので、楽しく参加出来ました！
バスも2階建てでとても良い景色でしたよー✨
少し寒いので、長袖は持って行ったほうがいいですねぇ！

Overrated, but still fun to see the city from up high (especially with kids)
It was a nice and fun trolley ride with the kids to see the Honolulu City Christmas lights. Recommend it to anyone who wants to sit back, relax and listen to Christmas songs while enjoying the festive lights. I liked is especially that I didn't have to drive and look for parking which made the evening more enjoyable to spend with the kids.
Highly recommend this tour and buy yoir tickets thru this site. Fast and prompt notification on confirmations, etc.
It was a fantastic tour! Our guide/bus driver Larry was a wealth of knowledge on everything from Hawaiian history to all the buildings in the area and I learnt so much that I would have never known without him. He also told us plenty about Pearl Harbour too and made sure we knew what we were doing. He was very funny too and you could tell he was very experienced and qualified for his job, it was a fantastic experience and definitely worth my money.
