All Reviews for Trolley & Shuttle to Attractions

In recent years, I have often used a bike for transportation, but since my range of movement was limited, I decided to book a trolley for the first time in a while. I found it convenient because it allows access to various places, but unfortunately, there are few lines available except for the pink trolley.

The photo is from when I used the Malama Line and got off to do some sightseeing. After visiting the main tourist spots, I tried to catch the next trolley, but I ended up waiting for a while at the trolley bus stop because I had some extra time. I also wanted to hike Makapu'u on the East Oahu Scenic Line, but since there was quite a long wait for the next trolley, I decided against getting off and just enjoyed the view from the bus window.

Additionally, some drivers speak broken Japanese and do their best to explain the tourist spots, but since everything is in English, I couldn't understand much. Due to the weak yen, prices are high, but it is relatively empty, which makes it comfortable. I would like to see the revival of coupon services like free one-day passes with the purchase of the Lealea Magazine or discounts on multi-day passes, as we had before.

近年はビキを利用して移動することが多かったのですが、行動範囲が限られてしまうため、久しぶりに今回トロリー を申し込みました。
色々な場所に行けるので便利だと感じましたがいかんせん、ピンクトロリー を除くラインの本数が少ないです。
写真はマラマラインを利用して途中下車し、観光した時の写真ですが、観光スポットを一通り回って次の便に乗ろうとしましたが、時間が余ってしまい、トロリー のバス停でしばらく待ちました。
東オアフの絶景ラインもマカプウトレッキングしたいと思っていたのですが、次の便が来るまでかなり時間が開いていたため、下車を断念し、バスの車窓から眺めるだけにしました。
また、運転手さんによっては日本語がカタコトの方がいらして一生懸命観光スポットの説明をしてくださるのですが、全て英語のため、あまり理解できませんでした。
円安で価格が高い事もあり、比較的空いているのでその点は快適です。
以前の様にレアレアマガジン購入で一日券無料や、数日券割引などのクーポンサービスを復活させていただきたいです。

Super easy hiking path and a gorgeous hike all around!

I was drawn to the East Oahu Scenic Line and decided to book it. During my trip to Hawaii two months ago, I enjoyed the Waikiki Trolley service, so this time I took the same East Oahu Scenic Line with the Lealea Trolley. Both drivers were great at keeping the atmosphere lively, but I found Lealea to be just a bit better; it might just be a matter of luck. I booked a plan for 3 nights and 5 days, but on the day of the Aloha Street Jam, even though I waited at Ala Moana, no buses came due to the crowd, and I was able to get back quickly by taking The Bus right in front of me... I only used the trolley 5 times over the 4 days. I thought maybe I should have gotten a one-day pass. For the less frequent services, I lined up about 40 minutes early at the Royal Hawaiian Center for the first bus. I expected it to be a bit easier to hop on, so I hope they increase the frequency for the popular ones. Also, considering the price of The Bus, I felt that the one-day pass was a bit expensive compared to other trolley buses.

東オアフ絶景・ラインに魅力を感じて申し込みました。今回の2ヶ月前のハワイではワイキキトロリーのサービスを申し込み楽しかったので、今回はレアレアトロリーで同じく東オアフ絶景・ラインに乗車しました。どちらも運転手さんが盛り上げ上手で楽しかったですが、レアレアのほうが少しだけ良かったです、これは当たり外れなのかもですね。3泊5日で４日間のプランを申し込みましたが、アロハストリートジャムがあったひは、アラモアナで待っていても混雑からまったくバスがこず、目の前のザバスに乗るとサクサク帰れました…4日間でトロリー使ったのは5回まで。1日券にすれば良かったかな、と思いました。便数が少ないものは、始発のロイヤルハワイアンセンターで40分前ぐらいから並びました。もう少し気軽に乗れると思っていたので、人気のものは動向をみて便数も増やしてほしいです。あと、ザバスの値段を考えると、一日券が少し高いかなぁ、と他のトロリーバスと比べて感じました。

There were a lot of buses, so I was able to board smoothly without much waiting time. It's convenient for going to Farmers and Ala Moana!

本数も多かったのでそんなに待ち時間なくスムーズに乗ることができました。
ファーマーズやアラモアナに行くのに便利です！

The Hilton Islander had a change in its bus stop, so it might be confusing since other buses also stop on the main street. A few people were waiting, and although the bus slowed down a bit, it did not stop. Some people were confused and ran a little, but the bus just went on. It was disappointing. The sunset timing didn't match well depending on the month, so those who wanted to see it returned to the hotel on the Pink Line. The other lines were good.

ヒルトンアイランダーは、停車が、変更になってましたので、メイン通りの他のバスも停車するので、わかりにくいと思いますが、
数人まってましたが、少し低速にはなりましたが、停車しませんでした。
数人が、戸惑って少し走りましたが、そのまま行ってしましました。残念でした。
サンセットは、月によって、うまくタイミングが、合わず、見たい人は、ピンクラインでホテルへ戻りました。
他ラインは、良かったです。

I only rode it once because I was on another trolley tour, but the Pink Line was a comfortable double-decker bus. As a means of transportation, it felt similar to taking a train.

他のトロリー付きのツアーにしていたため、1回しか乗っていませんが、ピンクラインは二階建ての気持ちいいバスでした。
移動手段としては電車的な乗り方です。

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

It was a bus that went to the Ala Moana Shopping Center from various hotels, and it turned out to be a bit of a sightseeing tour as well. Since it was a bus that you could ride if you had a JCB card, I would have preferred a different bus.

いろんなホテルによってアラモアナショッピングセンターに行くバスでしたが、ちょっとした観光にもなりました♪。ＪＣＢカードを持っていれば乗れたバスでしたので違うバスが良かったです。

The Pink Line one-day pass allows you to ride on the specified date plus the day before or the day after when you exchange it. (You also receive two tickets.) For long distances, I think it's better to use a taxi for a better balance of time and cost, but if you're just going to Ala Moana Shopping Center, the Pink Line is sufficient.

ピンクライン一日券は、引き換えの時に指定日＋指定日の前日か翌日に乗れます。
（乗車券も２枚くれます）遠距離はタクシー使った方が時間とコストのバランスが良いと思うしアラモアナショッピングセンターいく位ならピンクラインで十分かと

The view from the top of Diamond Head early in the morning was amazing. The pickup time was almost accurate, so I was able to participate without any worries.

朝早くから見るダイヤモンドヘッド頂上からの景色は最高でした。迎え時間もほぼ正確で､不安なく参加できました。

It was a pretty easy, well maintained. Interesting factoids.

If you don't participate in the tour and adjust your schedule to the bus times, you can also visit the Diamond Bed, and at the photo spots, the staff will assist you with taking pictures.

ツアーに参加せず、バスの時刻に合わせて行動すればダイアモンドベッドにも行けるし、写真スポットの場所では、スタッフさんによって写真撮影を手伝ってくださります。

The Xplore ride was really fun and brought out the kid in me! If you know a little about VR and Mixed Reality, this experience starts off with Mixed Reality with nice fish and marine life around you and some light educational sections on Waikiki and the beaches. The ride does transition into full VR at times with underwater volcanic vents, above ground volcanic eruption, a 360 visual aerial view above the islands (nice!), and an underwater route with all sorts of aquatic creatures around you, known to be local to the islands and some nice coral (this was my favorite part). There is more light educational pieces dispersed in these full on VR parts as well. The movement of the bus really gives you the sense of “traveling” through the VR worlds and even the fish “swimming” through the bus in Mixed Reality was enhanced by the movement. Our host was wonderful and really explained everything well! The driver was very friendly too. The experience can be heard in Japanese or English. Too me, the only negative, though the headsets are of very high quality, was the pass through video of the outside was a bit unfocused when it was too far in the distance (like the ocean views near Diamond Head). Final thoughts are that it is definitely worth it and please consider supporting this business and others that bring the beauty of nature and the immersion of technology and imagination together!

Taxis are quite expensive, so having this pass is cheap and convenient. I received advice from Mr. Tamura at Bon Voyage Kobe and decided to purchase it. I see, it's highly recommended.

タクシーは結構割高なので　このパスがあれば安くて便利ですと　ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村さんにアドバイスをいただいて　購入を決定。なるほどお勧めです。

VR has advanced. It felt like I was traveling between the surface and the deep sea, which was a strange sensation. I was also glad to see Diamond Head up close.

VRが進歩していました
地上と深海を行き来しているようで、不思議な感覚でした
ダイヤモンドヘッドも間近で見られて良かったです

I thought it was for kids, but adults can enjoy it too.
VR often makes me feel nauseous, and I'm not good with it, but this time I was fine.
I felt the progress of VR.

子供向けかと思いきや、大人でも楽しめました
VRは気持ちが悪くなりやすく、苦手でしたが、今回は大丈夫でした
VRの進歩を感じました

It was just a transportation contract, so there wasn't much to it. Perhaps due to the busy season and the shuttle service, there were some delays. While it seemed that others weren't giving tips, when I gave one, they were very pleased.

送迎だけの契約でしたので特に何もありません。
繁忙期でピストン運行だったからか遅れがちでした。
他の方々はチップを渡している気配なかったところ、お渡ししたら
大層喜んでいただきました。

The driver spoke English and was very kind! No need to worry if you can't speak English! The view from the top is amazing!

英語のドライバーさんでしたがとっても優しかったです！英語が喋れなくても心配ありません！
頂上からの景色も最高です！

The bus company staff were near the bus stop, and it was easy to identify them because they were wearing yellow aloha shirts. It was convenient to be dropped off right in front of the hotel.

バス会社の人はバス停のそばにおられ、黄色のアロハだったのでわかりやすかったです。
ホテルの目の前で降ろしてもらえたので楽でした。

A group of three close friends for 40 years. We had always wanted to visit Hawaii together, and this year, we celebrated our 60th birthdays and made that dream come true! We were moved by the beauty of Waikiki from the summit of Diamond Head. The journey to the top was not as tough as we expected, and even after turning 60, we were able to enjoy the scenery while climbing.

４０年来の仲良し３人組。
いつかは３人で行ってみたいと思っていたハワイ、今年還暦を迎え夢を実現させました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド山頂から見るワイキキの美しさに感動しました。
山頂までの道のりは思ったよりもキツくなく、還暦過ぎでも景色を楽しみながら登ることができました。

Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.

The parasailing was included for free. We went around Waikiki and headed to Ala Moana Shopping Center. From the second-floor seats, it was wonderful to enjoy the pleasant breeze while looking at the beach and the canals. The friendly and lively talk from the driver was also enjoyable. Mahalo!

パラセーリングのOPに無料でついてきました
ワイキキを1周しながらアラモアナショッピングセンターへ　2階席から心地良い風にあたりながらビーチや運河を眺められて最高でした
運転者のフレンドリーで軽快なトークも楽しかったです　マハロ

The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

Picked up on time, arrived at Diamond Head with plenty of time to take pictures etc. Family friendly tour, the malasadas were so yummy! Great views, no rush to finish the hike.

The sunrise at the summit was breathtaking, the hike up is a bit hard as it is dark out, but the views from the top make every step worth it!

I had a great time moving around leisurely while enjoying the scenery to reach my destination. When I go to Hawaii, I mainly rely on the trolley for transportation, so I use it every time.

目的地まで色んなところを回るため、景色を見ながらのんびり移動でき、楽しかったです。
ハワイに行く時はトロリー移動が主なので毎回お世話になっています。

I signed up with my grandparents in their 70s. One great point was that the admission fee for Diamond Head was included. It took about 20 minutes to get from the hotel to the Diamond Head parking lot, and it took about an hour to hike up and around 30 minutes to come back down, giving us plenty of time to look at souvenirs. We also enjoyed the driver explaining the sightseeing spots during the ride!

70代の祖父母と申し込みました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料込みなのも良い点でした。ホテルからダイヤモンドヘッドの駐車場まで20分程度で到着し、行きは1時間程度、帰りは30分程度で下山することができ、お土産を見る時間も十分ありました。
車中では、ドライバーの方が観光スポットの説明をしてくれたのも楽しめました！

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

The Viking was a bit tiring, but it was worth the climb! The view was spectacular. The guide was also very kind. I'm glad I participated.

バイキングは少し疲れましたが
登る価値あり！
絶景です。
ガイドさんもとても親切でした。
参加して良かったです。
