Our ride
Paul J.

Jackson and Somi are fantastic guides, they know so many facts about the island and the whole tour experience with the all inclusive lunch and food along with all the stops was truly amazing. Could not have asked for a better day on the island!

Friends of the day!

What a fun journey this was. Kela and Susumu were fantastic guides, it was a super fun bus ride and we got to see so much of the island. It's a really great tour see a huge chunk of Oahu and take notes of all the great places to see and eat at so if you have time to return you know exactly where to go. Whether it's seeing beautiful costal views, sea turtles laying out on the beach, getting amazing shave ice, or a delicious shrimp lunch, you get to have a small taste of the whole island all in a day.

As a local, I'm not one for tourist activities but because my boyfriend isn't from here, we thought it would be a great idea to try this tour out (after much recommendation). Our guide, Billy, and our driver, Ross, were awesome! Billy is incredibly knowledgeable and personable and gave us amazing recommendations and facts about the different places we stopped at. Although Ross was the driver, he gave great tidbits throughout as well!! From a local's perspective, I think this is a great option to try out if you want to see some cool spots and don't want to do any of the driving and parking yourself. Because it's an island tour and there's tons of great spots to stop at, you can get strained for time. But, you could definitely use the tour as a means of finding spots you want to revisit later on for a longer period of time.

This tour was absolutely lovely! It was beautiful, informative and fun. We saw many treasures of Oahu but the biggest attraction in this tour was our tour team, Billy and Jay! Billy was very well informed, honest and funny! We always had a smile on his face and he was very inviting. He is the best tour guide i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He truly knows how to light up a room and get people engaged. I truly loved this tour at 100/10 would recommend to all others looking for a tour of Oahu

Billy is a very caring, knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, he made this full day for our family all worthwhile!

Small group tour keeps the adventure personal!

We've been on a circle island tour in years past but have never had a better experience than we had today... SUSUMU, KANAKO and JAE made today's experience truly memorable! My hubby and I felt included & seen throughout the day. Susumu is personable, knowledgeable, & thoroughly professional in an accessible manner. The food & tastings throughout the adventure are delicious! From the awesomeness of the Leonard's Malasada to the awe-mazing shrimp lunch to the traditional tastings to the macadamia nuts & island coffee -- We couldn't have asked for anything more. We were picked up ON TIME at our hotel & then dropped off 9 adventure-packed hours later in the same convenient spot but with irreplaceable memories & full bellies. Thank you AYC & special THANK YOU to SUSUMU, KANAKO and JAE for an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

We wanted to see the island and experience different food places and this tour did not disappoint! Our guide Susumu was very knowledgeable and considerate of our comfort the entire time. He even made extra stops that were not on the itinerary. The bus was very clean. We loved the whole experience and would not hesitate to take any of the tours they offer on our next trip back, and we will definitely be back! Mahalo Susumu and Island You, you made our vacation great!

Jackson was a blast! He was friendly, informative and entertaining. We have been here a dozen times and this was our first island "tour". We will definitely recommend it to others! Just the right amount of ride time vs experiences. Mahalo!

The dolphin tour was super cool. We saw like 30 dolphins swimming when looking from our boat. And 8 under the water when we jumped in to swim with them. The crew were extremely kind, organized and funny. They gave us a lot of time to snorkel and use the water slide, it was dope. Jen the tour guide also gave some information on area we drove too and was a great photographer during the swimming portion. If you come, make sure you do a big Aloha so cpt mike can find some dolphins

My fiancé and I went on a trip of 19 (in total) people and the crew of Dolphins and You were so great! Everyone had great customer service, had a ton of fun, was very attentive and professional and made sure all of our experiences were awesome. Austin(Awesome), Sota, Kahae, Danielle, and Tyler did an exceptional job at making sure we were safe and having a great time. I'd highly recommend. The food was great, drinks were cold, the water slide was a lot of fand the views were beautiful. Thanks to Captain Mike for knowing your craft and doing an awesome job.

Jackson and Susumo (sorry if I spelled either name wrong) were our guides and they were simply amazing. They were super knowledgeable, courteous, and entertaining. We were laughing the whole time and came away with a ton of knowledge about Hawaii. I don't have a good picture (just videos), but we got to see some sea turtles at one our stops and it was incredible. We ate delicious garlic shrimp and fresh fruit. We went to scenic beaches and learned so much about the island. We were so happy we got to go on the tour and would 10/10 recommend it!!

It takes longer where you want to go but I enjoyed the breeze and saved me from aches and pains. The ride is $6 and it's an all day pass. It starts just before 10 am and I think it ends at 8 pm. You can buy the pass from the bus driver in cash. They don't accept credit cards and they prefer exact change only. If you have the JCB credit card, your ride is free. Don't lose your ticket since you have to present it when boarding.

Our family of eight started the day having an absolutely wonderful experience with Waikiki Trolley…read more We were greeted by the sweetest woman who helped us purchase our passes, followed by a genuinely kind Pink Line driver. Our Blue Line driver was equally wonderful--fun, friendly, and everything we hoped to experience in Hawaii. Unfortunately, by the end of the day, that experience had completely changed. The behavior of two employees was so unnecessarily rude, hostile, and unprofessional that our family decided we would no longer support Waikiki Trolley for the remainder of our vacation (7 more days). I am specifically requesting that management REVIEW THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE from when our family boarded at Waikiki Shopping Plaza, and ESPECIALLY when we exited at the Ilikai stop at approximately 6:06 PM. PLEASE REVIEW THIS FOOTAGE. Although the employee, Char, had already been unnecessarily aggressive toward us while boarding, the harassment escalated after I politely asked for her name and my father photographed the trolley number to identify the vehicle when filing a complaint. It was only after Char realized we intended to report her behavior that she deliberately EXITED THE TROLLEY to confront and harass me further. We were already approximately ten feet away, walking away without arguing or engaging with her. Yet she left her vehicle, called after us, and demanded that we return to photograph the posted rules. PLEASE REVIEW THIS SPECIFIC INTERACTION. Char chose to escalate the situation after we had already left. Her behavior felt like blatant, unwarranted harassment. It was uncomfortable, intimidating, and left me flabbergasted. Why would an adult working in hospitality pursue customers who had already walked away simply because they might report her behavior? Regardless of the original disagreement, there is absolutely no justification for an employee to exit a trolley to continue confronting a family that has already left. I ask management to preserve and review this footage before making any determination. Our first negative encounter occurred when I approached a driver sitting outside an out-of-service trolley. He was the only employee nearby, so I politely asked where we should wait for the Pink Line. He wouldn't even look up. When we repeated the question, he appeared irritated and sarcastically pointed toward a pole, saying something like, "See the pole? Find the next one." The pole had no identifying information. We were tourists asking a reasonable question. His rude, sarcastic response was completely unnecessary. Unfortunately, what happened next was worse. We walked to the next pole, as instructed, only to be yelled at by Char for standing incorrectly. When I apologized and explained that we didn't realize we needed to stand elsewhere, she raised her voice AGAIN, saying she was telling us NOW that we needed to stand against the wall. We were NOT blocking the walkway. We were standing at the pole another employee had directed us toward. Even after we boarded, Char continued aggressively reprimanding us for not standing against the wall. Other passengers were visibly shocked, and several even apologized for her behavior. Throughout our approximately 50-minute ride, people stood at poles rather than against walls at EVERY stop, yet Char never yelled at or reprimanded anyone else. Not one person. Why was our family treated differently? I cannot say with certainty what motivated Char's behavior, but being singled out raised genuine concerns about whether race played a role. That is incredibly uncomfortable while visiting a place known for its hospitality and aloha spirit. We were not causing a problem. We were simply asking questions and following the instructions we had been given. A simple explanation delivered with basic courtesy would have resolved everything. Our family had planned to continue purchasing trolley transportation throughout our stay. Instead, we decided to forego additional rides and rent a vehicle. We would rather spend our money elsewhere than risk another encounter like this. Your wonderful employees earlier in the day demonstrated how positive this experience COULD have been. Their kindness made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, your evening employees completely overshadowed that experience. This was not a minor inconvenience or simply someone having a bad day. It was repeated, unnecessary disrespect toward paying customers, including children and family members who witnessed it. We came to Hawaii excited to experience its beauty, culture, and HOSPITALITY. We certainly did not expect such hostility. Management, PLEASE REVIEW THE FOOTAGE, especially Char exiting the trolley to confront us AFTER we had already walked away. While you review footage please also notice Char's failure to wear a seatbelt...

Do not recommend for neighbor island day trips--disorganized and stressfulI cannot recommend this…read morecompany if you are booking a day trip from Maui or any other neighbor island. As a first-time visitor to Hawaii, this experience was incredibly stressful, deeply disorganized, and poorly coordinated. Our day started at 2:00 AM for a 6:30 AM flight, only to find out the Maui airport doesn't even open until 6:00 AM. Thank goodness we had TSA PreCheck, or we would have missed our flight running to the gate. The issues only compounded once we landed: Zero Airport Guidance: The company email stated a taxi company (Charlies Taxi) would pick us up. Being completely new to the islands, we didn't know where to go. Airport staff gave us conflicting directions, and we spent a frustrating amount of time wandering around just to find the pickup zone. No Greeters or Communication: There was nobody to meet us at the airport. After calling the taxi company and waiting 15 minutes, we finally got a ride to Pearl Harbor. Left Stranded at Pearl Harbor: Once we arrived at Pearl Harbor, there was again nobody to greet us, despite a text from the driver saying he would be waiting. We waited outside for 45 minutes. I finally had to call the tour company to find out where our guide was. I only found our group because I actively approached a guide myself. Unwelcoming Attitude: We were told beforehand we could leave bags on the bus. When I asked the guide to unlock the bus for my backpack, he made me feel like I was a massive inconvenience and a bother. Rushed Experience: To top it off, we received an email during the tour telling us we had to call and arrange our own return taxi through Charlie taxi. The tour ended so abruptly and quickly that we missed the actual ending of the experience because we had catch our flight back.
