Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.

Good Time. Had a wonderful day. The tour guide was friendly and provided a lot of interesting facts and trivia about Oahu on the drive up, as well as the trip back. Once at the North Shore the choice activities and the loosely organized agenda made for an enjoyable day. Would definitely recommend. Great value.

We were looking for a tour to see the North Shore but have the freedom to do what we want to do....we couldn't have picked a better tour. This is the perfect tour for people looking for freedom to do/go where they want. We had Sam as our tour guide, a native from Hawaii. He was informative and very the perfect style of guide for this tour. Knew what he was talking about, laid back but still detail oriented enough to handle everyone's activities and where they were. We went there the day of the Volcom Pipe Pro at the Pipeline. We rented bikes at the North Shore Surf Shop (an included activity with the tour - no extra charge) and that allowed us to go freely around. We rode up to the surf competition to watch live. The nice part was with the bikes, you were stuck in one spot the whole time. Watched the competition, then rode down the coast to Sharks Cove and Waimea Bay. It was great to have no schedule or "planned activities" when we got there. We had 3 hours to do what we want. Some wanted nothing to do with the surf competition and they could do what they want. Everyone had their own agenda and this tour worked great with it. (For a quick bite to eat, hit up Pupukea Grill. Its a food truck in Sharks Cove with a heavenly flatbread.) Met back next to Sharks Cove for the bus and rode to Haleiwa for the afternoon. Again, free time through the town to experience the city itself or do water activities at Surf N Sea. We wanted to experience the town, so we went into the surf shops, stores and walked around the town itself. (For a great sandwich, hit up Waialua Bakery and Juice Bar next to the grocery store...phenomenal.) For being a smaller town, Haleiwa is a very cool town to experience. After the town, we were to a beach to view the sea turtles that come on shore. It was amazing to see the turtles that close.

This was an awesome tour. The driver was local and gave lots of information about the area...what it used to be and what it is now. Many changes in 45 years. There was plenty of free time to explore. That was the best!

Felix, our guide, was HILARIOUS and FULL of trivia information about the memorial and all the Hawaiian islands! Loved seeing the sights in downtown Honolulu and hearing it's history. Don't miss the opportunity to speak to and thank the WWII vets that are usually there at the memorial - priceless! The only thing that we missed was actually going ON the USS Missouri (Big Mo) and the submarine there. The sub cost an extra $10, but we didn't have time to go on. Access to Big Mo was not offered.

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.
Mahalo nui loa!!!

I purchased a four-day pass. The Pink Line (to Waikiki and Ala Moana) has frequent service, making it convenient, but the Red Line (to downtown) and Green Line (to Diamond Head) have less frequent service, with intervals of about 40 minutes. If you miss the timing, you may end up waiting for quite a long time. However, it covers almost all of Honolulu's attractions, so if you plan your activities in conjunction with the trolley schedule, I think you can visit many places and have a lot of fun. The drivers are cheerful and enjoyable as well.
4日間のパスを購入しました。ピンクライン(ワイキキやアラモアナ方面)は本数が多いので便利ですが、レッドライン(ダウンタウン方面)とグリーンライン(ダイアモンドヘッド方面)は本数が少なく運転間隔も40分とかなので、ちょっとタイミングを外すとかなり長い間待つ結果となります。しかしホノルルの名所はほぼ網羅しているので、トロリーの時刻表と照らし合わせて計画的に行動すればかなりと沢山の所へ行けて楽しいと思います。ドライバーさんも陽気で楽しいです。

In Honolulu, it's inconvenient to get around without using the trolley bus. Since we are traveling independently without going through a major travel agency, we purchased this ticket because we couldn't use the travel agency's exclusive trolley bus. However, it turns out that the only lines where you need to show the ticket are the Red Line and Green Line. The Pink Line, which is heavily used, is free if you have a JCB card, so it seems that most people can board without any checks. I slightly regret that we might not have needed to buy the ticket after all.
ホノルルではトロリーバスを利用しないと移動が不便なため、大手旅行会社を通さず旅行している私達は旅行会社独自のトロリーバスを利用できないため、このチケットを購入しましたが、チケットを見せる必用があるのはレッドラインやグリーンラインくらいで、利用者が多いピンクラインはJCBカードがあれば無料なため、ほとんどの人が持っていると思われているのかチェックすらなしで乗車できていました。買わなくても良かったかなと少し後悔しました。

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

I used the four-day ticket again this year. Although the routes have changed, it was truly convenient. I was able to visit the long-awaited farmers' market and hike Diamond Head using just this trolley. Even though it's a four-day ticket, it can be used anytime during my stay, allowing for flexible use over the six days.
今年も4日間チケットで使いました。
路線が変わったりもしていますが、本当に重宝です。
念願のファーマーズマーケットやダイアモンドヘッド登山もこのトロリーだけで行く事が出来ました。
今年も4日チケットとはいえ滞在中の4日分いつでも使用可能なので6日間中不連続で使用できて使い勝手があります。

The tour is early so don't b late because they will leave you. The pearl harbor part of the tour is nice and short but long enough to get pictures of the memorial, museum and to do some shopping. The rest of the tour around the city i did not like. It felt like we drove around forever. At the cemetery the bus just drives in and out. It does not stop or lets u get out so you just get a quick glimpse and thats it. I am glad it was a half day tour.

I apologize for the delayed response. Since then, we have introduced two double-decker buses for the Pink Line to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The Red Line is also operating with two double-decker buses. The double-decker trolley buses have been well received by customers, allowing them to enjoy the scenery from a new perspective. Additionally, we have started the Blue Line for the East Coast Panorama Coastline Tour to Sea Life Park since June. We will continue to make efforts to enhance the Waikiki Trolley, so please be sure to use our services the next time you visit Hawaii. Thank you for your feedback.

For any first timer to the island of Oahu, this is a must. Plan on an early morning tour or visit to Pearl Harbor. The afternoons can bring wind or rain. If the winds are to harsh, (whitecaps) they will shut down the boat ride over to the memorial. Acouple of things to consider while there, 1) tour the submarine located at the center, 2) tour the USS Missouri (I think) that is located across the water, but adjacent to the Arizona Memorial. We were not aware of either and wished to have seen.
For those serving our country - THANK YOU

The guy at the gate was screaming at everyone bec they have to pay for the entrance fee. If I didn't tell him i got the package deal from this webstie he would have double charged me. They need to come-up with another system collecting entrance fees.

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.
