2.Waikiki Trolley Blue Line Coastline & Local Grindz Hop-on Hop-off

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,159 reviews · 1 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $35Top rated

Take the Blue Line trolley from Waikiki along Oahu’s southeastern coast with a professional guide. Stop at Halona Blowhole, Kahala Mall, Sea Life Park, Rainbow Drive-In, and Leonard’s Bakery. Expect strong ocean views, an open-air ride, local food stops, and possible crowding, so arrive early for a seat.

“Tour was informative and the views were amazing. Some people had to stand the whole tour as very few people hopped off - they did the whole loop. They should limit the amount of people on one trolley.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,120 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes (approx.) · from $35

“Our tour guide Kie was wonderful. He was right on time and shared what would be happening on the tour. He told us exactly what we needed to do while at the Arizona memorial. This was very helpful as we were able to do everything within time frame. The visit to the Missouri went very well to because of Kie’s suggestions. We loved that Kie shared different things about Honolulu as we continued on the tour. We would not change anything about the tour. It met our expectations and more. Bill & Ginny Kruschel”

“This was an amazing way to experience Maui! We picked this tour as it had been voted #1 tour for Road to Hana. We were more than satisfied with the experience! Robin, our tour guide, was more than a tour guide, she was a friend! She played Island music along the way and walked us through the history of the Island as we hopped through each attraction, she also ordered the famous banana bread, took us to the BBQ chicken food wagon where we had delicious and succulent chicken, and we swam at the Hana beach where we had so much fun!

“It was an exciting and informative “flight” around the island of Kona! We saw much more via drone than we would have had we taken a “regular” excursion and for my husband who is disabled it was perfect! We were seat buckled into “plane seats” and it honestly felt like we were flying! It would be wonderful if every port offered a similar experience! We definitely were very pleasantly surprised! And Ceci (our tour guide) was great!”
