Waikiki Trolley

About this experience

Book Waikiki Trolley tickets for hop-on hop-off sightseeing in Honolulu Book Waikiki Trolley tickets when you want an easy way to see Honolulu without renting a car or working out bus routes. Drivers give live narration as the open-air vehicles link Waikiki with downtown Honolulu, Diamond Head, Ala Moana Center and the coast, and you can get off at any stop, explore, then catch a later departure on the same line. Your mobile ticket arrives straight after booking. Show it on your phone to the driver when you board at any stop on your line. The main hub and ticket booth are at Waikiki Shopping Plaza, 2250 Kalakaua Avenue, right in the centre of Waikiki, so most visitors start there. Which Waikiki Trolley ticket to choose There are two kinds of ticket option, and the option name tells you exactly what you get: Single line, 1 day: unlimited rides on one line, such as the Red Line, on the date you book. A good fit if you have one area in mind, like historic downtown Honolulu. Multi-line, 1, 4 or 7 days: unlimited rides on several lines for the number of days in the option. Best value for longer stays or if you want the coast and the city. Admission to attractions is not included, so plan to pay separately for museums, parks and tours you want to enter along the way. Waikiki Trolley lines and what you can see Red Line (Historic Honolulu): Iolani Palace, Chinatown, the Honolulu Museum of Art and Punchbowl Crater. Blue Line (Ocean View): the southeast coast, with stops such as Halona Blowhole, Koko Marina and Sea Life Park. Green Line (Diamond Head): Diamond Head Crater, the KCC Farmers' Market and Kahala Lookout. Pink Line (Ala Moana): a short shopping loop between Waikiki hotels and Ala Moana Center. A full loop takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on the line. Departures range from roughly every 15 minutes on the Pink Line to about once an hour on the Red Line, and the longer lines make their last runs in mid-afternoon, so start early if you want several stops. Schedules can change with traffic and holidays. Getting off at Diamond Head? Pair the ride with Diamond Head State Monument audio tour tickets for a self-guided walk to the crater rim. Back in Waikiki, a Waikiki glass-bottom boat tour shows you the reef from the water, and the Passport to Pearl Harbor covers the historic sites there, which the trolley lines do not reach. Know before you ride The vehicles are wheelchair accessible, and priority seating is kept for guests with disabilities, pregnant guests and older guests.

Ride the coastal or Diamond Head lines in the morning, when it is cooler and the views are clearest, then use the afternoon for shorter hops to Ala Moana or downtown.
