Oahu Hop-On Hop-Off Buses

Seeing the island of Oahu on a tour bus is a good idea because it allows you to discover the main tourist attractions of Waikiki and Honolulu quickly and comfortably seated. Here's what you need to know to get on the tour bus.

The hop-on, hop-off tour bus is an excellent way to explore Oahu in a short amount of time by taking any of the routes that cover different areas of the island.

With the Hop-on Hop-off system, you can make your own itinerary around the city and hop on and off at your leisure to explore the city at your own pace, plus you can take all the photos you want from the best angles!

You'll travel on a double-decker bus or open-top tram to visit the island's most outstanding historical sites, the landscapes that have made it world famous and to discover its most popular shops and restaurants.

Importantly, these tour buses are suitable for all passengers, from babies in pushchairs to people with disabilities who need to use a wheelchair or travel with assistance animals.

The price of the sightseeing bus pass depends on the number of days you choose. The basic 1-day pass for all lines costs 39 euros.

However, depending on the number of days you are going to stay on the island, I recommend selecting a pass that includes more days so you can see the tourist attractions included in the route at your leisure, getting on and off the bus as many times as you want and you can also use it as a means of transport to get around Oahu.

You can book your Waikiki Sightseeing Bus Pass online in advance. When you complete your booking you will receive a voucher which you can redeem for your pass at any of the tour bus stops in the different areas.

Unlike regular buses where you usually pay for a one-way ticket and choose your stop, on the Oahu and Waikiki sightseeing bus you pay for days of use, which entitles you to use the ticket as many times as you wish for as long as you choose.

You can select between a 1, 4 or 7 day pass for all routes with free stops. Your usage time will start counting from the first time you redeem it.

Absolutely. You have several different passes to choose from so you can travel the different routes and explore Oahu freely using the tour bus as your mode of transport, hopping on and off at all the stops scattered around the city.

Each complete route has a set duration. The Green/Blue Line - Ocean Diamond Head lasts 2 hours; the Red Line - City Art District lasts 1 hour and the Pink Line - Ala Moana Shopping Shuttle lasts 1 hour as well.

However, you can get off at a stop of your choice at any point along the route to explore an area in detail and then hop back on the tour bus to continue the route to completion.

No, the tour bus does not go through Honolulu airport but if you want to travel there or are looking for transport to your hotel from the airport, I recommend booking a shared or private transfer in Honolulu.

For more information on this I recommend you take a look at the article Honolulu Airport Transfers.
