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。

I was worried due to the strong winds and the sudden reservation the day before, but everything went smoothly. We ended up fishing in shallow waters, but it was still quite enjoyable. During the trip, we were greeted by a pod of dolphins. The rental equipment was reasonably maintained, but there might be some inconsistencies. The captain spoke a little Japanese, so there were no issues. There was a delay in gathering participants, which caused us to set sail later, but well, it's Hawaii time...
連日の強風と、前日の急な予約で心配しましたが無事に遂行
状況に合わせた浅場での釣りになりましたが、それなりに楽しく遊べました
移動中はイルカ群れのお迎えもありました
貸し出し道具はそこそこの手入れで、あたりはずれがありそう
キャプテンは多少日本語も話せるので問題無し
参加者の集合遅れなどがあり出航が遅くなったが、まぁHawaiiTimeなので、、、

There is a reception area at the entrance of Aloha Port Harbor. It's number 61.
There was staff who could speak a little Japanese. The local people teach the basic fishing techniques in English.
We used squid as bait and dropped weights to the seabed to fish. If there were no bites, the captain would move the boat to find a new spot.
I had three incredibly strong bites, but they got away. I'm not sure what kind of fish they were.
It seems that any fish caught are generally released. They didn't cook them on the spot, but they could tell us the types and names of the fish.
The children who love fishing were having a great time.
The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is essential. The sun is also strong, so sunscreen is a must.
It was refreshing to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle.
アラワイポートハーバの入り口に受付場所があります。61番です。
日本語を、わずかに話せるスタッフがいました。
基本的な釣りの手技は現地の人が英語で教えてくれます。
イカを餌にオモリを海底まで垂らして釣るというものでした。当たりがないと船長さんが船を移動させてスポットを探してくれます。
とてつもなく引きの強いアタリが、3度ほどありましたが逃げられてしまいました。何の魚だったのかは不明です。
釣れた魚は基本的にリリースするようです。その場で調理することはありませんでした。しかし魚の種類や名前は教えてもらえます。
釣り好きの子供達は楽しんでおりました。
船はかなり揺れますので酔い止めは、必須です。
日差しも強あので日焼け止めも必須です。
いつもと違う角度からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見られるのでその点も新鮮でした。

My daughter and I had a great time climbing Diamond Head. We could go at our own pace which was awesome.
My daughter also left her hat on the van and they got back to me super quick when I emailed them and we just picked it up from their office. Fantastic customer service.
Highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

We participated as a family of five (with three elementary school children). The kindness we received was wonderful, and the relaxed view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the boat was amazing. It was also fun to see dolphins! We only caught a few fish, but we were able to catch fish that can only be seen in Hawaii, which made the kids happy.
家族5人で参加しました。(小学生3人)
とっても親切にしていただいて、のんびり船から見るダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキは最高でした。
イルカも見れて楽しかったです!
魚は少ししか釣れませんでしたが、ハワイでしか見れない魚が釣れて、子供達も満足でした。

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.
This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

Great time 1st trip on a fishing boat with kids. Meeting many wonderful patron on the ship along with the boat captain. Our kids managed to catches the first fish during our boat trip. Definitely would plan to come back next month. Hopefully this time our boat can catch more fishes comparing to last trip. It's wasn't that much fishes floating somehow but overall still an awesome journey with kids and family's. Scenic of Waikiki is unbelievable along many Dolphin jumping and boiling on the surface of the sunrise calm Aquatic blue ocean.

The cheerful driver provides sightseeing explanations in English at key points. If you want to see the city, take the Red Line. For local dining, use the Green Line, and for views of Diamond Head's crater and the East Coast, take the Blue Line. It's a bit pricey, but it's an efficient way to tour, and it's safe, so I'm glad I took it every day. I definitely got my money's worth! By the way, during the first week of my stay, I used the trolley, and in the second week, I used the local bus. The trolley is a relaxed way to travel and is definitely fun!
陽気なドライバーさんが要所要所で英語で観光説明してくれます。街を見るならレッドライン。ローカルダイニングに行くならグリーンライン、ダイアモンドヘッドのクレーターや東海岸の景色
ならブルーライン。少しお値段は高いけど、効率良く観光できて、治安も安全なので、毎日これに乗って良かった。しっかりと元を取れましたよ!
ちなみに、滞在1週間目はトローリー、2週間目は地元のthe busを利用しました。トローリーは、気楽に旅できて、断然、楽しいです♪
