“They were an hour late for pick up in the scorching sun! No text or email to let us know. I have to call to find out that it’s because of the parade. So naturally, we were late when we arrived. The ticket going to the memorial where you need to access via a boat only allows an ex number of people per trip. All of us were on waiting list. We were told to be back at 3:30 PM, but the next boat leaves at 3:30! So, they left most of us. They said that they will send someone named Daniel or David (?) as the new driver and…”

Hop on the Waikiki Trolley Blue Line for breathy ocean views from Halona Blowhole to Sea Life Park, then plate lunch and malasadas.

“It was okay. The views are great. But the bus in noisy and bumpy added to a very windy day. It goes and returns the same way so if you want to get off on the way back that is good. The the scenic tour of the coast in a van is a much better option as you stop at more view points and the ride is more comfortable. You get what you pay for. I would not recommend it at less you want to get off at one if the stops.”
