Solara Posted February 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Does anyone have an experience using the Hoppa On Hoppa Off bus in Hilo (Hilo's version off a Hop On Hop Off Bus)? Wondering on wait times when you got off & waited to get back on again. Any other info in appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted February 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If it's the same as the city bus there (I would have to check my notes from a couple of cruises ago), the buses often didn't run on time (many of us were concerned that we weren't going to get back to the ship on time, and almost went for a taxi), they have convoluted routes (not in a straight line). The first bus we were on was filthy and smelly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes only 8 stops & a few of those are photo stops where they wait for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riba4U Posted March 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi we recently used the Hoppa on Hoppa off in Hilo and it worked out really nicely. Our first stop was Rainbow Falls and our driver waited for everyone (about 10 minutes) and than most of the other stops we were dropped off and a bus came by about every 20 minutes for pick-ups and drop-offs. They'll give you a bracelet when you pay and that's all you need to show the driver when getting on. It worked out great for us.

debbeck Posted March 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Do you remember the cost of the daily Hop on Hop off bus? 2 adults wondering if renting a car would be smarter for the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solara Posted March 6, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Do you remember the cost of the daily Hop on Hop off bus? 2 adults wondering if renting a car would be smarter for the day? It's $15 per person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbeck Posted March 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks Solara, How far from the port to find the Hop on Hop Off Bus? Walking distance? Easy to find? Edited March 15, 2014 by debbeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solara Posted March 15, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks Solara, How far from the port to find the Hop on Hop Off Bus? Walking distance? Easy to find? They told me it's right outside the gate very easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
