walsky Posted November 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Just been reading about the Waikiki Trolley as a means of sight seeing in Hoholulu. Covers a lot of area and seems very interesting. Has anyone ever used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las Vegas Non Rev Posted November 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The trolley is a bit overpriced. Oahu has a great public bus system that will take you anywhere on the island for a fraction of the fare. The trolley looked like fun if you just want to ride around all day. We always hit the bus.

Barb Nahoumi Posted November 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Where can you access the Trolley? We will be pre & post cruising in Honolulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mii Posted November 26, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have been on the waikiki trolley and we loved it. You get highlights of Honolulu and you can get off and on. Granted we did this about 10 years ago but I would assume it is still great. They do have a web site for information. It is www.waikikitrolley.com Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob&Janet Posted November 26, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The Waikiki Trolley tends to mostly go from Wailiki to various shopping centres/outlets. TheBus on the other hand covers the whole island and has a good regular timetable as well as cheap fares ($2 per ride anywhere and a free transfer/return within 2 hours). We used it often, even to take us to/from Pearl Harbour ... it was a far far cheaper option than using a tour company that most people used. We only caught the Trolley once, back from Ala Moana Shopping Centre - it also cost $2 - and it was chock full of Japanese tourists. It seemed that the Trolley is there pretty much for and mostly used by Japanese tourists heading to/from the shops. They apparently get a unlimited travel ticket as part of their holiday package. The Trolley also sells tourist pass - I think about $25 for unlimited rides over 4 days - but it is a rip off, given the very limited routes the trolley covers.

caserko Posted November 28, 2006 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2006 does the bus system go from waikiki to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsydney Posted November 29, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yes, you can BUT they don't let take luggage onto TheBus. My wife bought an extra case at the Aloha Market and although empty and able to be put on her lap, still got chipped by the driver. At least he let her on the bus. If you are still interested in getting the bus to Honolulu Harbor, catch either Route 19 (Airport-Hickam) or Route 20 (Airport-Pearlridge) from Waikiki and alight at Alakea Street and Nimitz Hwy. Just cross Nimitz Hwy and you are at Aloha Marketplace where the ship docks. See www.thebus.org for more info. Cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
