We have used hop on and offs buses in many large cities in the world. Our experience of the Aloha Bus was not a positive one. We bought a one day ticket and were glad that we did not buy it for longer. We boarded the first bus of the day, the conductor was not ready to deal with customers... More

I talked my family into buying this 3-day pass while visiting me, and bought a one-day pass myself as a way to see the city. Horrible mistake. Don't waste your time or money. Spent so much time sitting at each stop, was forced to get off twice while the bus driver took a break, including a mandatory stop at HiloHattie... More

This looked like a fun way to see Waikiki / Honolulu, but we spent quite alot of time waiting for buses that were supposed to be arriving every 20 mins, try 45 - 60 mins. The guide said everything runs on "Hawaiian" time, but this was ridiculous. It would have been quicker to walk which is what we did a... More

There's no actual timetable and the buses constantly run late. With no way of knowing when the next one is due, I was always waiting around. At Aloha Stadium I waited over half hour with no where to sit and no shade on a hot day (and there were families with small children waiting longer than me). I was expecting... More

This is a good option to get an overview of the sites of Honolulu. But if you did as I did and planned to take the whole circuit first, then choose what you wanted to get off to see, this will take a long time, probably 3 or 4 hours. Also, if you sit on the top deck, take a... More

We spent the better part of two days recently on a 24-hour pass with the Alohabus and it generally worked well for us, with some exceptions. We felt we got our $$$ worth and met some nice people on it, but probably wouldn't do it again. We got it on Groupon so it didn't cost much. I wouldn't recommend it... More

I chose this hop-on-hop-off tour bus both for the commentary and for the frequency of the buses since I had only 1 day in Honolulu. The commentary was a set of small ear buds to plug into the back of the seat in front of me. The buses were advertised to pass every 20 minutes, but they were short of... More

Waikiki trolley is so much better. we were dropped off at Hillo Hattie's for 45 minutes... and we all had to get off the bus. the recorded tour is not very good either

So Aloha Bus is a double decker bus that just goes around Honolulu for an outrageous price. It's just another mode of transportation that takes you "sightseeing", they actually just take you to places just to shop and they eventually drop you off at Hilo Hattie's shopping area for about an hour. You don't get to see much and getting... More
