Oahu
I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. Major travel companies have their own trolleys, but if you come through personal arrangements or other travel companies, the Waikiki Trolley is like a reliable sneaker.
I always use the Waikiki Trolley, and we frequently rely on the Pink Line and Red Line as our main means of transportation.
ハワイのリピーターです。大手旅行会社は専用トロリーがありますが、個人手配や、その他の旅行会社で来た場合は頼りにになるワイキキのスニーカーのようなものです。
いつもワイキキトロリーを利用しており、特にピンクラインとレッドラインが我が家の足として頻繁に利用しています。
This was an excellent trip
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.
オアフでの足は、ザ・バス、タクシー、レンタカー、トロリーのいづれかになる。おのおの長所・短所があるが、4泊6日や5泊7日のスケジュールで便利でお手軽なのが、このトロリーだ。レッドライン/ブルーライン/ピンクライン/イエローラインと所定のコースを回ってくれる。
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。
日本にはない乗り物で、ワイキキの乾いた風を感じるのもハワイ旅行の楽しみのひとつだ。
The Pearl Harbor tour was well done. Our tour guide, who was also our bus driver, did a great job explaining how the tour would be conducted, getting our large group lined up in order, and seeing that we all gained entrance to the tour together. The one thing that I did not care for was the tour guide's advice about who to vote for in the American presidential election. It reduced his tip by 50%.
This was one of the highlights of our trip! Driver was a bit late but it in no way impacted our experience. Its very busy at Pearl Harbor but everything is handled efficiently and although we waited in a very long line, it moved quickly and we were off to the memorial building. Very moving and impressive ! Every visitor to the island should see!
I took the biking tour through North Shore. Justin was a very good guide and showed us the ins and outs of the North Shore community. Justin showed me the best routes to take with my mountain bike. The tour was right on time and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour as it is a great value. It was a nice touch that water and snacks were provided on board.
The Arizona Memorial was 5 star!!! God bless the 1177 soldiers that gave their lives for our country!
The city tour was slow and boring. Recommend other transport to the AZ Memorial.
Just beware that the tour may last longer than the promised 12:30 return time. I was very worried when our tour guide told us that the previous day they hadn't even entered the AZ Memorial until 11:00 and that we may not get back until after 2pm. It turned out that it all worked out and, fortunately, we got in an early tour. The tour was nice and we really enjoyed the City Tour, which we weren't really expecting!
Cousin Carl was great ! He did a wonderful job informing us of Pearl Harbor, and the City tour. Full of information. Everyone should take this tour.
My family and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide, Cousin James, was great. After the Pearl Harbour tour, we went around the city, but like one of the comments said we only had 15 mins to roam around. If you have a car you can go back to those places anyway, or just get off at one of the stops and not continue with the tour, then take "The Bus" back to your hotel. I would recommend this tour to everyone especially first timers.
The description of the Falls "hike" should be reworded to "casual stroll". All the interesting parts that might be qualified as hikes were barred as off limits for falling rock or just closed off. Also, the change in elevation was laughable. It was more like going to a park.
The waterfall actually had water, but not enough water yet for swimming, which was teh main point of it. That part was very underwhelming.
The snorkeling on teh beach was great. Amazing area and great knowledgeable staff/tour guides. highly recommend that part.
It was an awesome experience. i was hesitating to get this tour, but i'm glad i decided to do it.
My husband and I went to Oahu for the first time. We booked several tours through Robert Hawaii. The service staffs were excellence. Everyone is very funny, friendly, and helpful to us. We enjoyed our time at the Sunset Cruise, I recommended for all couples out there to try it out. We also get to do several luaus during our stays: Sea Life Park Luau and Polynesian Cultural Center Luau. They both were excellence. Food were delicious, and the show is fantastic! Although we like PPC a lot, our guide for that particular tour was not helpful and not knowledgeable. It was not as much fun as we would like it to be. I rather spend time on my own and explore the place. You definitely need a whole day to see all the cultures in this center. Regardless, we have lots of fun and enjoyed our time there. Definitely we will come for another trip and look to use Robert Hawaii service again. Thanks for your service.
We really enjoyed this event. It was a great history lesson and a wonderful tribute to those who lost their lives.
Very educational and at the same time interesting. Every American needs to experience this at least once. Gives you a different perspective than most other tours. There was a Scenic drive around the city, too, but the driver didn't stop for us to get out and explore the sights along the way: Iolani Palace, State Capitol, etc. I wanted to go in and see the inside or at least walk around the outside, but it was just a disappointing point and drive show that lasted 3 minutes. You are better off saving your money on this tour and renting a car to go see these places.
I really enjoyed this trip, we didn't rent a car in Oahu and this was a great way to see the North Shore. We learned a great deal of Hawaiian history on the way up. And the town and Waimeia Beach are incredible. We snorkeled and swam in the waterfall at waimeia (?), it was a cool day but the water was temperate and so fresh - if you go to the waterfall swim in the lake surrounding it - its really wonderful. Bonzai Pipeline had no waves though so I'll have to go back in the winter.
Gave us a chance to spend more time at the North Shore (we stayed at Waikiki).
A very fun time with a nice tour guide and his family. Unique stops on the North SHore that most tour companies just drive by. Highly Recommended!
Was really informative, fun, yet still educational. Took the whole family we all enjoyed it. The tour around the city was just right to get the main points of Hawaiian history. The driver was very well informed on all the facts.
Brother Oscar was great. Informative and entertaining. A great tour for all. Well recommended.
This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!
This was worthwhile. Guide was helpful, informative, friendly. One drawback - necessary time limitations; if you really want to be leisurely about the visit, tour the museum using the audio guide ($5 price, not part of Hawaiiactivities.com), shop the store at your pace, etc., it may be better to drive yourself to the site. If that's not your objective, then this tour is perfect. The tour of Honolulu afterward was very enjoyable, giving bits of history and current news.
COUSIN BOB IS WONDERFUL. HE HAS SO MUCH INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH US. MY HUSBAND AND I ENJOYED THE TOUR.
The navy treats the arizona memorial as a cemetary, and most of the guests do the same. Some people feel the need to ruin it for everyone else by talking loudly, but besides them, there is a definate feeling of patriotism onboard the memorial. The city tour was fact filled and interesting.
Visiting Pearl Harbor is a very solemn experience embedded in history and displayed for future generations in an eloquent, respectful, and informative manner.
I would definitely recommend this tour to others with the suggestion that those going do so in the morning and as there usually is quite a line to get in. However, the tour is well worth it. You can actually imagine what it would have been like to experience the fateful event. The dignified proceedings allow one to truly reflect upon the historic happenings of Dec. 7th, 1941, without an atmosphere of hopelessness.
"Cousin" Greg was a great Tour Guide -- very
professional, informative and entertaining!
My entire family enjoyed the tour very much.
This was an awesome tour. There were 6 of us including my mother who is 76 and her first time in Hawaii. We loved this and the tour guide was excellent
The "Waikiki Trolley 4-Day Unlimited Ride Coupon" is definitely a great deal. For seniors (62 years and older), it's only $27, while just the Blue Line typically costs $25 (the same goes for the Red Line). We enjoyed hopping on and off the Blue Line and Red Line freely. However, the Blue Line runs once an hour, and the Red Line about every 45 minutes, so we printed out the timetable in advance to carry with us. There are also Japanese explanations (on tape) on board, and some drivers provide guidance in Japanese, which makes it quite enjoyable!
「ワイキキトロリー4日間4ライン乗り放題」のクーポンこれは絶対お得です。シニア(62歳以上)は僅か27ドル、ブルーラインだけでも通常25ドルなのです。(レッドラインも同じ)私たちはブルーライン、レッドラインで途中下車したりそれこそ勝手気ままに乗り放題でした。ただ、ブルーラインは1時間に1本、レッドラインも45分に1本程度なので事前にネットで時刻表をプリントして持ち歩きました。車内では日本語の説明(テープ)もありドライバーも人によっては結構日本語で案内してくれるので楽しいですよ!
There were 4 of us on this tour, and we had varied levels of enjoyment. Overall, the tour is worthwhile. It is a bit of history that everyone should know, even though war is still hell.
We were picked up at a hotel very near ours, easy to find. We had a large comfortable bus. The bus driver provide great commentary during the drive to the Arizona. The Arizona memorial is always awesome. This is my third time, my families first. Great video presentation and museum prior to the boat ride.
Tour of the City afterwards was great and we took the option to be dropped off at Hilo Hatties. Great Hawaiian Store.
Thanks!
