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

Ride an open-air trolley from Waikiki along Oahu’s southern coast, with narration from guides such as Chuck, Marco, Joey, and Keoki. Stop at Halona Blowhole, Kahala Mall, Sea Life Park, Rainbow Drive-In, and Leonard’s Bakery. The $35 fare offers a simple way to see the coast without driving.

“Marco was a great driver and tour guide. He continually gave us insights into the history and culture of the area around Waikiki as well as the Hawaiian islands in general. He taught us some Hawaiian words so that we could communicate with the local Hawaiians and having an aloha experience. We highly recommend we recommend this tour and Marco specifically. We had a great time and learned a lot in a fun way.”

3.Waikiki Trolley Red Line Heroes & Legends Hop-on Hop-off Tour

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

Ride E Noa Tours’ Red Line through Waikiki, downtown Honolulu, Chinatown, Kakaʻako, and beyond. Your driver adds stories about Hawaiian royalty, wartime Honolulu, and local landmarks. Guides such as Chico, Sam, Turk, and Big Tony have earned praise, though wait times, crowds, and wind noise can affect the ride.

“Most memorable part of the tour was the Veteran's Cemetery. The landscape, magnificent trees, the entrance all so very elegant and calming. I would like to comment on how the guide referenced former President Obama as Barack Obama. In my opinion this is too familiar for the guide to use while giving a tour.”
