- ADA-compliant lifts: Drivers assist with folded strollers at Stop #1 for easy boarding.

Impatient and rude driver. We were having such a wonderful day until his "yelling" at us because he needed us to zoom in more on our tickets, without really explaining what he needed to see.

We enjoyed riding The Waikīkī Trolley Red Line and Blue Line. The Red Line was more inner city site seeing. The Blue Line was more rural site seeing. Both lines give the historic information as well as the social and cultural and tourist attractions. Both were great. I do recommend that you do the Red Line first and then the Blue Line.

My family and I took the blue line that went to Diamond Head and Blow Hole on Friday, June 26,2021. It’s the best and affordable way to tour some of the sites. The driver was very funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. We were able to stop by the Blow Hole and took pictures. It was breathtaking. I would definitely do the trolley next time and explore the Arts District.
