All Reviews for Trolley & Shuttle to Attractions

In the evening, I had a little time, so I spontaneously hopped on a bus to see the sunset. The sunset in Hawaii is very beautiful, and there was a bride taking photos on the beach, which I thought made for a lovely background. The bus stopped near the beach and stayed parked until the sun went down. It was great to be able to go right to the spot without wasting time, making it a meaningful experience.

夕方、少し時間があったので思いつきでサンセットを見るコースのバスに乗り込みました。ハワイのサンセットはとても綺麗で、浜辺て花嫁さんが写真も撮ってましたが素敵な背景だと思いました。浜辺近くでバスが止まり日が沈むまで停車。ピンポイントで観に行けて時間のロスもなく有意義に過ごせて最高でした。

I chose the LeaLea Trolley for the comparison of East Oahu lines. I also used it for the early morning Black Friday trip to Ala Moana and to the Honolulu Museum of Art. Compared to the bus, it’s easier to understand, but I feel the price is a bit high. I purchased a four-day pass, but since continuous use is a condition, there were some wasted days. There is a free service between Waikiki and Ala Moana, so I think it’s necessary to choose based on the places you want to go. For the Haleiwa area, there are only buses or optional tours, so it would be nice if you could go by trolley.

東オアフラインの内容比較で、LeaLeaトロリーを選びました。
ブラックフライデー早朝のアラモアナ行き、ホノルル美術館行きにも使いました。
バスに比べるとわかりやすいのですが、価格が少し高いと感じます。
４日券購入しましたが、連続使用が条件のため無駄な日が出ました。
ワイキキ～アラモアナ間は、無料サービスがあるので、行きたい場所で選択が必要かと思います。
ハレイワ方面は、バスかオプショナルツアーしかないので、トロリーで行けると良いのですが。

We participated with our children aged 9, 11, and 13 at their request. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who is 120 cm tall, was able to ride alone. We received instructions on how to handle the reins and how to ride. Our guide, Kaz, accompanied us to the riding location and helped with everything from check-in to translation, which was a great help. He taught us how to ride during the transfer, and even though it was everyone's first time riding, we had a lot of fun. I can't speak any English, but having Kaz made me feel very secure. The staff at the riding location were not very impressive; they seemed to be new and a bit inexperienced. It felt like the tip was paid not for the staff, but for the smart horses. Since the tour was focused on horseback riding, we didn't plan for any exploration and just enjoyed a relaxed time.

子供からのリクエストで、9歳、11歳、13歳の子供と親子で参加しました。9歳120センチ女児でも１人で乗馬させてもらえます。手綱捌きから乗り方までレクチャーしてもらえます。送迎ガイドのカズさんが乗馬先に一緒に来てくれて、受付から通訳までしてくれたので大変助かりました。乗り方も送迎中に教えてくれて、全員初めての乗馬でしたがとても楽しめました。英語が全く話せないですが、カズさんがいてくれれば凄く安心です。乗馬先のスタッフはイマイチで、新人さんらしき人だったのか要領が悪い感じでした。チップはスタッフではなく、賢いお馬さんの為に払った感じです。乗馬目的のツアーだったので散策のプランを考えてなく、まったりと過ごしました。

It was all in English, but the staff were kind and I enjoyed the North Shore. I reflected on my English skills, wishing I could have understood more from the guide along the way.

英語オンリーでしたが、親切に対応いただき、ノースショアを楽しめました
道中のガイドはヒアリングがもっと出来れば良かったと自分の英語力を反省です

I was a bit anxious since it was an English-speaking driver. It seemed like the meeting point was different, and even after 10 minutes, the driver hadn't arrived. When I tried to contact them, the line was busy. Just when I was starting to think they might not come, the driver called my name loudly, and I was able to get on safely. During the ride, I couldn't understand the announcements at all, and since we were the only Japanese people, I felt a bit isolated, haha. We also received two bottles of mineral water for the round trip! Since it was just a plan to climb, I didn't feel rushed and was able to fully enjoy the scenery and nature. However, I later found out that taking the bus would have been significantly cheaper, which was a good lesson learned.

英語ドライバーという事だったので不安でした。
待ち合わせ場所が違っていたようで10分過ぎても来ず、連絡しても通話中。行けないかもと思っていたらドライバーさんが大きな声で名前を呼んでくれて無事に乗れました。移動中の案内は全くわからず翻訳機能も使えず私たちだけ日本人だったので少し疎外感笑。
ミネラルウォーターも行き帰りで2本いただきました！
登るだけのプランだったので焦ることもなく景色も自然も存分に堪能出来ました。
ただ、バスで行ってたらゼロ一桁安かったと後から知りいい勉強になりました。

- It was great that the bus was waiting before the meeting time, allowing us to board right away.
- Throughout the journey, there were constant explanations of the tourist attractions, including their history, which made it easy to understand.
- At the Dole Plantation, thanks to the "Royal Star/Beltra," we were able to enter before opening hours, which was time-efficient. Additionally, showing the tour sticker provides discounts on souvenirs.
- The bus was equipped with a restroom, which was reassuring for the elderly, and we appreciated that.

・集合時間の前にﾊﾞｽが待機していて､直ぐに乗車が出来て良かったです。
・道中､常に観光名所の説明があり､成立ちまで語って頂き､分かり易かったです。
・ﾄﾞｰﾙﾌﾟﾗﾝﾃｰｼｮﾝでは､｢ﾛｲﾔﾙ･ｽﾀｰ/ﾍﾞﾙﾄﾗ｣のおかげで開園時間前に入場する事ができ､
時間効率が良かったです｡またﾂｱｰｽﾃｯｶｰを見せると土産も割引きが有ります。
・バスにトイレが完備されているために､年配には心配が無く､ありがたです｡

We used our phone flashlights on the way up, it was quite early but still worth it as it is a great way to start the morning.

A truly unique experience. As you board the spacious and comfortable bus in Waikiki the staff prepares you for your journey. You are given a virtual reality headset that is adjustable and comfortable. The virtual reality is interactive, and educational. As the bus is moving it actually feels like your body is moving through the experience. The colors, animals, and sounds felt so real!

Would not recommend if you are prone to motion sickness. Would recommend if you are interested in virtual reality, and enjoy a fun ride. Comparable to a smooth rollercoaster.

A packed itinerary with Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and Haleiwa.

The driver was very kind and shared various stories about Hawaii to keep us entertained during the ride.

The horseback riding staff only spoke English, but the driver, who had experience with horses, provided a thorough explanation beforehand, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries.

It was a pleasant time swaying on a smart polo horse while looking at the magnificent ocean of the North Shore.

Haleiwa is larger than I expected, so it might be a good idea to decide in advance where to go.

ドールプランテーション→乗馬→ハレイワと盛りだくさんのコース。

ドライバーさんもとても親切で道中飽きないようにハワイのさまざまなお話をしてくださいました。

乗馬は英語のみのスタッフですが、馬を飼っていたこともあるドライバーさんが事前に丁寧に説明してくださっていたので、不安なく楽しめました。

ノースショアの壮大な海を見ながら賢いポロ経験の馬に揺られて気持ちの良い時間でした。

ハレイワの町は思ったより広いのでどこに行くか事前に決めておくといいかも。

The bus driver provided various explanations while driving, which made the experience very enjoyable. He was a kind person who loved Japan. Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation were such attractive places that we didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted! 🎶

バスの運転手さんがずーっと色んな説明しながら運転してくださってとても楽しかったです。日本が大好きというとても優しい方でした。
ハレイワタウンもドールプランテーションもしたいことするには時間が足らなかったぐらい魅力的な場所でした🎶

I initially thought I would have too much free time with five hours, but instead, I was able to explore the town of Haleiwa at my own pace without feeling rushed. I visited various shops that caught my interest and took plenty of photos, allowing me to leisurely stroll around. In the past, I participated in a tour with only three hours of free time, which felt rushed and left me unable to fully enjoy the beach. This time, however, I had enough time to visit the beach as well, which greatly increased my satisfaction. Overall, the timing was just right. I believe this tour is perfect for those who want to take their time exploring the town of Haleiwa.

自由時間が５時間なので最初は時間が余ってしまうかと思っていましたが逆に時間に追われることなく、ハレイワの街を端から端まで気になるお店があれば立ち寄ったり、写真に納めたりと、とにかくゆっくりと散策することができました。以前は３時間の自由時間に参加したこともありますが慌ただしくビーチの方まで行く時間がなく消化不良気味でしたが今回はビーチにも行く余裕があり満足度が高かったです。結果、時間的にも丁度でした。ゆっくりハレイワの街を散策したい方にはピッタリのツアーだと思います。

Fabulous guides! A lovely informative bunch of girls.
The only place you can do solo ATV's now on Oahu!
A lot of fun!

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!

We met the bus at 5 AM and we’re first on the walking hike! Got to the top with plenty of time and unbelievable photos to share.

The trip became the worst due to the driver's initial tardiness, lack of explanation, and unpleasantness. I was helped by Veltour in dealing with the troubles, but I do not recommend traveling alone.

ドライバーさんの最初の遅刻から、説明不足や感じの悪さを含め最低の旅になりました。
ヴェルトラさんがトラブルに対応してくれたから助かりましたが、一人旅の利用はおススメしません。

really loved this hike, considerably easy while very immersive and out of the waikiki hustle and bustle!

We had a large group, and this was easiest way for us to not have to figure out reservation. Just perfect time for hiking as well!

I was unsure whether to rent a car, but I was also anxious about driving overseas, so I decided to use this plan! We left the hotel at 11 AM and arrived about an hour later to participate in the photo mini tour. After the photo mini tour, I was dropped off near Giovanni's, which was very helpful! Since we had plenty of time, I was able to enjoy acai at Matsumoto Shave Ice and Haleiwa Bowl, and I also had a leisurely shopping experience!

レンタカーで行くか迷いましたが海外にて車を運転することが不安もありこちらのプランを使用させていただきました！
11時にホテルを出発し約1時間後に到着しフォトミニツアーに参加しました。
フォトミニツアー終了後、ジョバンニの近くで降ろしてくださり大変助かりました！
時間もたくさんあったので、マツモトシェイブアイスやハレイワボウルにてアサイーを食べ、ショッピングもゆっくり楽しむことができました！

The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.

送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…

While slowly taking photos and enjoying the view of the vast ocean, I also spotted dolphins along the way. It was simply wonderful.

大海原を見ながらゆっくりと写真もとりながら、途中でイルカをも見つけました。とにかく、素晴らしかったです。

My family loved this tour. The activities we fun and well managed. Kevin was a great tour guide.

First of all, the driver was great. Being Japanese made me feel at ease. Thanks to their service-oriented spirit and the various information they provided, I was able to fully enjoy the North Shore even in a short time. It was my first time horseback riding, and I was worried, but the thorough explanation of the precautions in the vehicle allowed everything to proceed smoothly. The local female staff were also kind, and my son, who is in the third year of middle school, enjoyed horseback riding as well. He said it was the best part of our trip. I was also satisfied with the delicious restaurants they recommended. The ocean was very beautiful, and I would love to go to the North Shore again.

まずドライバーさんが良かったですね。
日本人で安心できます。
サービス精神があって、色々情報を提供してくださったおかげで、短時間でもノースショアを満喫できました。
乗馬も初めてで心配でしたが、車内でしっかり注意事項を説明していただいたお陰でスムーズに進行出来ました。
現地の女性スタッフの方々も親切で、中学3年の息子でも乗馬を楽しめました。今回の旅で一番良かったと言っています。
食事も美味しいお店をご紹介いただいたお陰で満足出来ました。
海がとてもキレイで、もう一度ノースショアに行きたいですねー。

Our driver was wonderful and funny. I appreciate that he called us to tell us he had arrived at the pick-up spot. We didn’t see the van pull up and he was parked behind us. The hike is demanding especially in the rain. It was quite slippery on the way down. We had already purchased ponchos, but our driver had some for sale. We were able to complete the hike easily within the timeframe, and had time to stop in the gift shop. Just be aware of the weather and plan accordingly. Good shoes are a must!

You can't start your trip to Hawaii without this trolley! It's a must-have since you can enjoy the nice Hawaiian breeze while shopping and visiting tourist spots.

このトロリーがなければハワイ旅行は始まらない！ハワイの気持ちいい風を感じながらショッピングや観光地に行けるので絶対必須☆

Early wake up call but it is so worth it as the early morning views from the top of the hike felt warm and cozy.

Easy in easy out, just be aware of rocks if you have weak ankles. The fall was flowing on the day we had planned so all was well!

With a group of six people, we enjoyed a leisurely trip under the beautiful sunny sky, taking in the scenery. We also participated in a mini tour that we had hoped to join. Since our group had the vehicle to ourselves, thanks to the driver's kindness, we were able to see the honu (sea turtles) that weren't on the original itinerary, and we got off at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck. This allowed us to efficiently enjoy our time while walking northward. Perhaps because it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, so we could shop at a relaxed pace. Along the way, we revitalized ourselves with smoothies. It was a whirlwind five-hour stay in Haleiwa filled with walking, eating, and shopping. Personally, I found it more enjoyable without having to drive compared to when I came with a rental car (laughs).

3組6人の参加で絶子の晴天のなか、景色観ながらゆったり移動。希望参加のミニツアーにも参加。１組貸切状態だったので、運転手さんのご厚意で予定にないホヌも見物し、ジェニーズシュリンプで下車させていただきました。お陰で北上しながら徒歩で効率よく楽しめました。平日の為かさほど混むこともなくゆったりショッピング。途中、疲れを癒しにスムージー飲んで復活。歩いて飲食して買い物してあっという間の5時間ハレイワ滞在でした。個人的には、レンタカーで来た時より運転なく楽でした（笑）

A tour that allows for efficient sightseeing during free time. It's enjoyable to just hop on the bus and explore without thinking too much! Although it was a bus tour, it was very efficient and offered plenty of free time, so I was able to go around without any stress. Our driver, Chris, was fluent in Japanese and even though it was an English tour, he provided guidance in both English and Japanese! He drove skillfully, so there was no worry about motion sickness. The conversations during the tour and the explanations at each landmark were excellent, making the travel time enjoyable!

At the Dole Plantation, we had pineapple soft serve, which was quite a large portion, so sharing between two people is recommended. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at Haleiwa, where we had two hours of free time and received a recommended map, making it easy to explore! We enjoyed both the pineapple burger and garlic shrimp recommended by our driver before heading back. It was a very fun time!

自由時間メインなので効率良く回れるツアー
何も考えずにバスに乗って観光出来るので楽！
バスツアーでしたが、とてと効率的で自由時間が沢山あるのでストレス無くこ 効率的に回れました！ドライバーのクリスさんは日本語も堪能で英語ツアーでしたが、英語と日本語両方で案内をしてくれました！
運転もお上手で酔う心配も無し、とにかくツアー中の会話と各名所の案内が上手で移動中も退屈せず過ごせました！
ドールプランテーションでは、パイナップルのソフトクリームを頂き、量が多いので2人でシェアがオススメです。
ここから20分位でハレイワに到着、ハレイワでは2時間のフリータイムとオススメマップもくれるので迷うこと無く散策！ドライバーさんオススメのパイナップルバーガーとガーリックシュリンプ両方を堪能し帰路へ！
とっても楽しい時間でした

Whoever added the Leonards stop- genius! Perfect day of activity + indulging.

They do not guide you up to hike, but it was pretty self explanatory!
