Had such a lovely day on this tour, the guide showed us around town including the palace and the cemetery and gave us some great insights into local culture. Once at pearl harbour we were handed our tickets and told what times to be at what places, heading out to the Arizona was definitely a highlight for me. All in all an enjoyable day

The driver Patrick was nice and the tour in the city interesting. At pearl Harbor we were very disapointed cause the boat could not let us go on the arizona monument due to the wind !! That was our purpose to see it and the deception was high..

I participated with the goal of experiencing hula. It was great to have the handmade ti leaf lei and the guide's explanations of Hawaii's history, and I enjoyed listening to the chants as well. I think it would be even easier to participate if transportation was included.

On the first day of my arrival, since I couldn't predict the time, I opted for a trolley day pass instead of a time-specific tour to head to Diamond Head. The trolley made stops for about five minutes at scenic spots, allowing me to take some photos. I got off at Kahala Mall and enjoyed dining and shopping.
入国初日は時間が読めないため、時間指定のツアーにせずトロリー1日券でダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かいました。景色のいいところでは5分くらい停車してくれたので写真も撮れました。カハラモールで降りて食事とショッピングを楽しめました

I'm not sure what was "deluxe" about this tour. We were picked up and taken on a "tour" of Honolulu first. This amounted to circling a couple of blocks where the King's palace and statue are. Then we went on to Pearl Harbor where we were informed that we would be switching to a different bus for our return to our resort! The 1st driver was difficult to understand when he was telling us what we were seeing. The 2nd driver was much better, although he seemed to talk about things as he saw them and would move onto something else before the rest of the bus caught up to what he had been talking about! I think there are cheaper options for a tour like this which accomplish the exact same thing!

After finding parking ($12) rushed to locate the shuttle which started late because someone on another business had to go potty. Rode to downtown area where there was about 3 blocks of Christmas lights and then stopped to walk around a building with a few trees in it then back to wait on another late bus just to return to where we started. Huge disappointment for $25 and 3 hours I'll never get back.

Despite being told to gather 15 minutes early and arriving on time, there was no guidance to the bus even after more than 30 minutes past the departure time, which frustrated the other participants as well. After waiting 40 minutes past the scheduled departure, we were finally directed to the bus and set off, but we only had about 25 minutes to see the City Lights.
The return bus didn't make us wait as long, but it was so crowded that we couldn't find a seat on the trolley and had to stand the entire time.
I couldn't enjoy it at all.
15分前集合という事で、時間厳守したにもかかわらず、出発時間を30分以上過ぎてもいっこうにバスへの案内がなく周りの参加者もイラついていた。出発時間を40分経過した後にバスに案内されてやっと出発したが、シティライツを見ることができる時間は、たったの25分程度…
帰りのバスはそれ程待たされはしなかったが、トロリーに座ることができないほどすし詰め状態で、ずっと立っていた。
全く楽しめなかった。

This was a great experience starting from the pick up at our hotel. Larry our driver was very welcoming and he made the bus ride fun and was full of information. We have been to Honolulu before but really enjoyed the information and the opportunity to hear about Hawaii history. The Punch Bowl was made interesting by our driver Larry who provided lots of details that were new to us. When we arrived at Pearl Harbor he made sure that we knew where to go and when to be there. We were the only ones doing the Mighty Mo tour so again he made sure we knew what to do and when. His estimations of the times for the activities were spot on. The towel service was much appreciated after climbing the ladders of the Missouri. Thanks for the great experience.

In short, it's a tour that takes you by bus to a Christmas night festival in Hawaii. For those who are unsure about the bus ride back and forth, taking this bus from Waikiki to the city makes it a fun experience. There are many white people on the bus and once you arrive, so you can really enjoy the foreign atmosphere, which is a hidden charm. There are some small stalls, but it's not the kind of place where you can eat a lot, so it's safer to have a meal beforehand. After returning, there weren't many places to eat open in Waikiki either.
簡単に言えば、ハワイのクリスマスの夜のお祭りにバスで連れて行ってもらうツアーです。
ただ、行き帰りのバスに自信がない人は、ワイキキから市中までこのバスで連れて行ってもらうと楽しく行けますね。バスの中も着いてからも、白人の方がたくさんいるので、え?っと思うくらい外国気分を満喫できるのも、隠れた魅力ですね。ちょっとした出店は出るのですが、ガッツリ食べれる感じでもないので、事前に腹ごしらえをして参加した方が無難です。帰ってきてからはワイキキでも、あまり食べるところが空いてませんでした。
Thank you for participating in the Waikiki Trolley Holiday Light Tour. Some may feel that the city's illuminations are lacking compared to those in Japanese cities, but we hope you enjoyed the Hawaiian-style Christmas with the palm tree lights, the Aloha Santa couple, and decorations of marine life. We would be delighted if you choose to join us again in the future. From all the Waikiki Trolley staff.
この度はワイキキトロリーホリデーライトツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。街のイルミネーションは日本の市街に比べてしまうと物足りないと感じてしまう方もいらっしゃるかしれませんが、ヤシの木のライトアップやアロハのサンタ夫婦や海の生物のデコレーションなどハワイらしいクリスマスをご満喫いただければ幸いです。また機会がございましたらぜひご利用ください。 ワイキキトロリースタッフ一同

It was great that I could ride the Purple Line and go all the way to Pearl Harbor. I found out that the one-day unlimited pass actually becomes valid for two days when I received it. Unfortunately, I had already planned to be almost nowhere near Waikiki on the second day, so I wish I had known that before my trip.
パープルラインも乗れて、パールハーバーまで行けたのが良かった。
1日乗り放題が2日間乗り放題になるようで、乗り放題パスの受け渡しの時に知った。2日目にはワイキキにほぼいない予定を組んでしまったので、渡航前に知っておきたかった。

My husband and and I made the trip to Pearl Harbour and visited the ship the Missouri and the very touching memorial. It was one of the best days spent on our Hawaii vacation. Our only regret was we did not get up and go as early as possible as there was so much more we could have seen if we had planned to spend the entire day there. The ship was amazing and definitely worth the ticket price. We didn't see the submarine or airport but we couldn't have squeezed anything else in that day. All round an excellent way to spend the day and have a real appreciation for the history.
One of the most amazing parts of the trip was the memorial. We were fortunate enough to have a WWII veteran visiting the memorial that day. It was very honerable how the staff escorted him on and off the shuttle boat and made way for him to the front the memorial. There were so many names you could not help but to look for a potential past relative on the wall and find your personal connection to history.
The Missouri felt like a time capsule. It was so interesting to see the way the sailers and army men lived on the boat. Very organized spaces in such tight quarters. One of the most memorable exhibits was the Japanese komakozi exhibit. They have letters written by the young men who sacrificed their lives in the Japanese Air Force. Very heart felt and it really hit home that all war is devastating regardless of the side you happen to be on.

We had Larry with Royal Star as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a sense of humor which was a bonus. He gave us pointers once we were at Pearl Harbor which were helpful. We enjoyed learning about the history of Pearl Harbor. The Arizona Memorial was very moving. The USS Battleship Missouri was really cool. The ship is huge. We first were part of a guided tour where we learned about what took place on the battleship. After the tour, we were able to move around the ship freely and explore. We finished off this experience by touring the city. We learned a lot about the history of Hawaii. This was an awesome experience and we highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

This tour was so great. Having a luxurious coach, a driver in training Toa and the Driver of the Year (2015/2016) Larry, the whole day was informative and fun. One of the greatest things I enjoyed was the amount of time we had at Pearl Harbor. Would highly recommend Royal Star... Toa & Larry treated us all like royalty.
If you choose to do this tour, I highly recommend the USS Missouri which took me around two hours. It gave me a great insight into what it must have been like on the Arizona when the Japanese struck and how so many brave soldiers were entombed in her.
Finally, I would again commend this tour company for the motor coach, professionalism, service, jokes and knowledge. It was well above my expectations.

The experience was excellent from beginning to end. The online booking through Veltra was straight forward and an email confirmation was promtly received. The staff was very helpful over the telephone in advance of the tour. The pick up was right on time and our driver was charismatic, professional and knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii. The city tour was great and would recommend it as a combination package with the Arizona Memorial entrance. The Arizona Memorial is a must see when visiting the island, the experience was both informative and emotional. We proceeded to visit the Missouri which is an absolute must see. We were driven to the Missouri in a very comfortable bus. Upon arrival we were greeted and welcomed aboard the ship. It was a real walk through time. Make sure you carve out enough time to walk through the ship, you can spend hours if so inclined. We participated in a 30 minute guided tour which was packed with information and then walked around the ship. The Missouri is a magnificent ship filled with stories of people who were present and lived moments of historical significance. Our driver gave us a pick up time for the return and he was on site promptly on schedule. Our driver was curteous, funny and provided us with additional information on our way back to our hotel. We were dropped off at our hotel entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We had considered making our own arrangements to visit Pearl Harbour but we decided to book our tickets and tour through Veltra/Hawaiian tours after speaking to a group that had booked through them. We had rented a car for two days and toured other parts of the island. The booking of the Arizona Memorial and the Missouri through Veltra was definitely worth while and would recommend it to anyone visiting the island. No line up for tickets, excellent service and informative city tour.
