All Reviews for Trolley & Shuttle to Attractions

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!

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!

On the day of arrival, I exchanged my ticket for a four-day pass. I was able to ride the trolley and sightsee until the hotel check-in time, which was a meaningful experience. It was easy and convenient to board just by showing the ticket. The drivers were friendly, and I had a great time.

到着日に４日間チケットに交換しました。ホテルのチェックイン時間までトロリーに乗って観光でき、有意義な時間を過ごせました。見せるだけで乗車でき、簡単で便利です。ドライバーの皆さん、親しみがあり楽しく過ごせました。

The shuttle was on time and the driver was very friendly.

Its just shuttle service to Diamond head
Its a stone throw away from honolulu waikiki, and you coukd have just walk there.
Nothing more of a ferry services.

It had been about 10 years since my last visit to Hawaii, and once again, I relied on the trolley! It feels like there are a few fewer routes compared to before, but I thought it was essential to have access to various places. The starting point was also conveniently close to my hotel. I would like to use it again.

約10年ぶりのハワイでしたが
今回もトロリーにはお世話になりました！
以前に比べて少し本数が減った気もしますが、いろんなところに行けるのでないと困るなと思いました！始発場所もホテルから近くて便利でした。
また利用したいと思います。

There are many elderly tourists. Perhaps because the prices are high, it seems that younger people tend to use rental bicycles more. It might be better if the prices were a bit lower.

お年寄り観光客が多い。
値段が高いからか、若い人は、レンタサイクルが多い印象。
もう少し安いといいかも。

It was great! Pick up and drop off near hotel area, perfect. Sunrise hike to Diamond Head is a great way to start the day. You can go at your own pace. Views of sunrise and surrounding areas were beautiful! After the hike, driver dropped us off to Eggs N Things. Delicious!! After breakfast, driver picked us up and dropped us off near hotel.

I enjoyed a bus trip of about three hours, starting from the Royal Hawaiian Center at 9:30 AM on the East Oahu Scenic Line, which operates twice a day. There were stops of about 15 minutes at tourist spots like Hanauma Bay and Halona Blowhole, giving us plenty of time for photos and restroom breaks. The bus also stops at Kahala Mall, so you can shop before transferring to the Kahala Line for your return trip. Meals are not included, but it was an affordable half-day tour.

1日2回運行の東オアフ絶景･ラインに9時30分始発のロイヤル･ハワイアン･センターから乗車して、約3時間のバス旅を楽しみました。ハナウマ湾やハロナ潮吹き岩などの観光地では15分程度の停車時間があり記念写真やトイレ休憩にも充分時間があります。カハラモールに停車しますから、買い物をしてから、カハラ･ラインに乗り換えて帰ることも出来ます。食事は付いていませんが、お安く半日観光ができました。

I was wondering if there would be some variation in the arrival time, but it arrived quite on time! The trolley driver was also accustomed to Japanese people and answered my questions about the destination in a friendly manner. The course that goes around to catch the sunset took us to Ala Moana Park at just the right time, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. I started using it from the day I arrived in Hawaii, but I couldn't use it due to jet lag, so I recommend carefully considering the start date before using it.

到着予定時間にバラツキがあるのかなと思ってましたが結構ピッタリな時間に到着でした！
トロリーの運転手さんも日本人に慣れてて行き先聞いたら気さくに答えてくれます。
サンセットにあわせて巡るコースは丁度良い時間にアラモアナパークに行けて綺麗なサンセットをみることができました。
ハワイに到着した日から使用開始にしたのですが時差ボケで利用できなかったので使用開始日をよく検討してから使用開始することをオススメします。

A sunrise hike up diamond head is a must do. The Acai bowl at Bogarts was a perfect refresher after the hike. I would do this again

It's recommended as a kind of activity since you can enjoy sightseeing while feeling the wind. If you only consider transportation, the bus is cheaper, has more routes, and longer operating hours.

風を感じながら観光できるので、一種のアクティビティとしてはオススメ
移動手段だけで考えるとthe busの方が値段も安く、路線も多く、営業時間も長いです

I used a one-day pass and took two lines. I was worried, but I was able to enjoy sightseeing without any issues. I'm glad I could go to the places I wanted to visit. I would like to use it again.

一日券で、2路線を利用しました。
心配だったが無事観光でき堪能してしました。
行きたい所へ行けて良かったです。
また利用したい。

I was thinking of participating in the Sunset Drive on September 30, but the departure time was already past sunset... After receiving an explanation, I decided not to participate and quickly headed to Waikiki Beach, where I was just in time to see the moment of sunset.

The roads were under construction, so it probably would have taken a while, and it was the right decision to cancel my participation.

Since the departure time is determined by HIS, there's nothing that can be done, but I wish they would consider this a bit more.

9月30日の参加でサンセットドライブに参加しようと思いましたが、
出発時間が既にサンセットを過ぎていて…
説明を受けて参加を取りやめ、
急遽ワイキキビーチに向かい、ギリギリセーフで
サンセットの瞬間を見ることができました。

道路も工事中できっと時間もかかっただろうし、
参加をやめたのは正解でした。

出発時間を決めるのはHISなので
仕方ないですが、ちょっと考えて欲しいですね。

I participated in the 4-day unlimited ride on the all-line trolley. I used the Pink Line every day, and I rode each of the other lines for one day, using the Blue Line twice. It had been six years since my last ride, but the Blue Line, which runs east, is my absolute favorite! ✨ Although it's the longest route, there was a restroom break at Sea Life Park. Riding the trolley while feeling the Hawaiian breeze is the best‼️ The views from the trolley, the upbeat music playing inside, and the humorous guidance from the driver were all so enjoyable! ❤️ The price has gone up, but since it takes you around all the tourist spots, I highly recommend it for those visiting Oahu for the first time.

全線共通トロリー4日間乗り放題に参加しました。レッド、グリーン、ブルー、ピンクの路線
ピンクラインは毎日利用しましたし他の路線は1日ずつそれぞれに乗車してブルーラインは2回利用しました。
6年ぶりの利用でしたが東を走るブルーラインは1番のお気に入りの路線です✨時間的には1番長い路線ですがシーライフパークでトイレ休憩もありました。
ハワイの風を受けながらのトロリーは最高です‼️
トロリーから眺める景色、トロリー内で流れる軽快なリズムの音楽、運転手さんのユーモア溢れるガイド全てにおいて楽しかったです❤️
お値段は高くなりましたが観光名所を隈なくまわってくれるのでオアフ島を初めて訪れる方には
ぜひおススメします

During our visit to Hawaii, we decided to book a tour to Diamond Head for Sunrise Hiking. It was the best decision we made. Blue Lei Hawaii Tours provided excellent customer service from the beginning to the end. The driver arrived early and was very kind and helpful. We also received a delicious donut at the end of the hike! I'm glad we chose Blue Lei Hawaii Tours, and I would highly recommend using them for any of your tour needs.

Great way to get a bus transfer and a stop at Leonards- a tourist dream :)

First, at the exchange window, I was treated poorly, which put me in a terrible mood on my first day in Hawaii. I kept telling myself that it had been five years since my last overseas trip and that I was just out of touch, trying not to get frustrated.

The drivers were all nice people! I recommend the East Oahu route for those who haven't been there before! However, the morning service can get crowded, with standing passengers. I've heard the afternoon is less busy. (There were some places that only stop on certain weekdays in the morning.)

Since my trip focused on shopping, the access to Ala Moana was not very convenient. The Pink Line doesn't come on time, and sometimes it's too full to board, plus there are all sorts of people riding it, so I hardly used it.

I recommend choosing a trolley that fits your travel purpose.

まず、引き換えの窓口で、散々な態度をとられ、ハワイ初日に最悪な気分になりました。5年ぶりの海外旅行で、平和ボケしてたんだと言い聞かせてイライラしないようにしてました。

運転手さんはみんないい人でした！
東オアフルートは行ったことない人にはおすすめです！が、朝の便は立ち乗りの人もいるくらい混みます。午後は空いてるそうです。（決められた曜日の午前しか立ち寄らない場所がありました）

買い物中心の旅だったので、アラモアナへのアクセスが悪く、使い勝手はあんまりでした。
ピンクラインは時間通りになんて来ないし、いっぱいで乗られないこともあるし、いろんな人が乗っているし、ほぼ使いませんでした。

ご自身の旅の目的に合わせて、トロリーを選ぶことをおすすめします。

Thanks to the unlimited ride ticket, I was able to visit various places. The ride to East Oahu took about three hours, but the driver's entertaining stories and the short stops at many photo spots made the time fly by. I was also able to efficiently visit Sunset Beach and Diamond Head, and I am very satisfied with the experience.

乗り放題チケットのおかけでいろいろな場所に行くことができました。東オアフへは約3時間の乗車でしたが、ドライバーの方の楽しい話やたくさんの写真スポットでの短時間停車もあり、あっという間に時間がすぎました。また、効率よくサンセットビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドにも行くことができ、とても満足しています。

Great tour and delicious treat, perfect way to combine a tour!

It was lots of fun… the company we chose was great… easy pickup and return to your hotel area… people were super friendly and the breakfast part of it was a great option to choose… all good… the hike was awesome… be prepared though … water and light clothing… we went in August and it was very warm out even before sunrise. Excellent views… I would totally recommend this company for this event…!!!!! The views are amazing…!!!

It was good to go early as by the end we were sweating, couldn't imagine it being any later!

In June, I traveled with my parents in their 60s and two children aged 0 and 4, totaling seven people. We had previously gone to Hawaii before COVID and used an HIS tour, which included some options. At that time, it was very easy to get around Waikiki, so I decided to book it again this time, even though it was expensive.

This time, our hotel was a bit far from the center of Waikiki, so we had to walk a little from the bus stop, but even without that, it felt like there were fewer buses than before. As a result, we mainly used the pink trolley that we could ride with a JCB card, so it didn't feel very cost-effective.

Also, even when we were at the bus stop on time, the buses came quite late, which was a bit concerning. Additionally, my parents in their 60s participated in the East Oahu Scenic Line, which wasn't available before COVID, and they said it was very good. That bus took about three hours for a round trip, so they enjoyed the scenery without having to walk.

It might be good to plan the schedule and destinations carefully, but since we had small children, I thought renting a car might have been a better option.

６月に60代の親と0歳4歳の子供も含めて7人での利用でした。コロナ以前にハワイに行った際、HISのツアーで行ったためオプションでついてました。
その際とてもワイキキでの移動がしやすかったので今回高かったけど申し込みました。
今回はワイキキの中心からホテルが離れていることもありましたのでバス停留所から少し歩きましたが、それはなしとしてもバスの本数が以前よりすくなくなっていた気がしました。結果JCBのカードをもっていたら乗れるピンクトロリーしかあまり利用しなかったので、あまりお得感はなかったです。
あと、時間通りに停留所にいてもかなりおくれてくるのでそれも少し気になりました。
あとコロナ以前にはなかったら東オアフ絶景ラインに60代の親のみ参加しましたが、それはとてもよかったらしいです。そのバスが1周３時間程だったので、歩くこともなく景色を堪能できてよかったらしいです。
しっかり時刻や行き先を計画して利用するとよいかもですが、小さい子供もいたので、レンタカーのほうがよかったかもとおもいました。

There were some places in the suburbs where it was hard to figure out where to catch the trolley, so it would be great if there were signs at the trolley stops or if I could check via an app.

郊外等でどこで乗るのかわかりづらい場所もあったのでトロリー乗場の看板もしくはアプリで確認出来ると嬉しいです

what a better way to end an early early am hike then with a delicious sweet treat! best tour pairing ever

I made a reservation for the trolley bus to Diamond Head. The day before using it, I presented my confirmation at the LeaLea Lounge on the third floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center and exchanged it for my boarding pass. At that time, I received the route and timetable for each line at the counter, which was convenient to carry around. The trolley to Diamond Head operates early in the morning, but you can't climb the mountain in the evening, so the trolley service ended around that time. Additionally, it gets crowded, so the staff advised me to board the first trolley at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I was able to travel while feeling the Hawaiian breeze in an open vehicle. Since the conditions allowed for unlimited use throughout the day, I took the trolley on the East Oahu route that departs at 2:30 PM, which only runs twice a day in the afternoon.

ダイアモンドヘッドに行くトロリーバス目当てで予約しました。利用する前日にロイヤル・ハワイアン・センターＢ館の３階にあるLeaLeaラウンジで確認書を提示し、乗車券に引き換えました。その際、窓口で各路線のルートと時刻表をもらいましたので、それを携帯しながら回れ便利でした。ダイアモンドヘッドに行くトロリーは朝早くから運行していますが、夕方くらいで山に登れなくなるので、トロリーは夕方くらいで終わりました。また、混雑するのでスタッフの方に始発のロイヤル・ハワイアン・センターで乗車するようアドバイスをいただきました。窓のない車でハワイの風を感じながら移動できました。１日何度でも利用できる条件でしたので、午後は１日２便しか運行していない１４時３０分発、東オアフルートのトロリーに乗りました。

On the first day of arrival, since I couldn't predict my time and physical condition, I decided to take the Waikiki Trolley. Although I could purchase tickets on-site, I opted to make a reservation in advance. After making the reservation, I showed my voucher at the local counter and exchanged it for a paper ticket (it seems that if you book through the official website, you can receive an electronic ticket).

This time, I purchased a one-day pass, but unlike other companies, the Waikiki Trolley's one-day pass is valid for two consecutive days, so I used it over two days to ride three routes (Blue, Green, and Red). From my experience, the recommendations for sightseeing points and how to spend time varied depending on the driver, but I appreciated that it took us to various tourist spots around Waikiki.

Additionally, in terms of differences from other trolley buses, aside from the fare and destinations, I got the impression that the clientele was different. While the Waikiki Trolley carries tourists from America, the High Bus and LeaLea Trolley seemed to mainly cater to Japanese tourists. However, in any case, it was rarely fully booked, and unlike The Bus, the interior was open, allowing us to enjoy the pleasant Hawaiian breeze while sightseeing.

到着初日は時間と体調が読めないために、ワイキキトロリーに乗ろうと思っており、事前に手配できることはしておこうと、当日現地で購入することもできますけど、事前申し込みをしました。申し込み後、現地のカウンターで、バウチャーを見せ、紙のチケットに交換してもらうという形です（公式サイトから予約すると電子チケットが受け取れるようです）。
今回、一日券を購入しましたが、ワイキキトロリーは他社と違って、今のところ一日券は連続する2日間有効なので、２日間かけて3路線（ブルー・グリーン・レッド）乗車しました。乗った感想では、運転手さんによって、この観光ポイントを見てもらいたい、というおすすめの場所と時間の使い方が違いますが、ワイキキ周辺の観光地を訪問してくれるのがありがたかったです。
また、他社のトロリーバスとの違いですが、料金や訪問先以外には、見たところ客層が異なるという印象を受けました。ワイキキトロリーはアメリカ人などの観光客も乗車しますが、ハイバスやLeaLeaトロリーは日本人観光客が中心という印象を受けました。ただ、いずれにしてもあまり満席になることは少なかったですし、ザ・バスと違って車内はオープンなので、ハワイの心地よい風を受けながら、観光ができてよかったです。

We enjoyed our hike at Diamond Head. Gorgeous views! Go early. It gets hot. Driver was nice and provided us water. Would definitely recommend this excursion.
