The Waikiki Gondola ride was very fun. I got to meet a few new people and learn a lot about them. Eliot was a great tour guide with an energetic personality, he made the experience worthwhile and even upgraded my tour for free after weather concerns made me reschedule. You get to see lots of sites and hear lots of stories along the way!

This was awesome!! Definitely book with this company!! It’s a family owned business and one of the brothers… I believe they were twins was hilarious!
The best juicy and creamy Basque cake. Very nice shop assistant. The bread was warm. Neapolitan women the best.
After scouring the Internet for the absolute most romantic way to propose, I accidentally stumbled on this Gondola cruise, needles to say she said yes! Super romantic and intimate ,proposing on the water as the sun was setting was icing on the cake.Elliot and Larry truly went above and beyond,awesome dudes Will definitely be back
Going under the bridges and hearing the history of the canal was amazing. The boat was beautiful the captain was very nice and charming. I recommend this to any couple who love a relaxing cruise through calm waters and sightseeing the local buildings. Beautiful experience with my girlfriend for our 2 year anniversary. It couldn't have been better.
This is a small, family owned operation that really wants to create an unforgettable experience. They were so personable from start to finish. I would highly recommend it.
Super kind professional family business. We enjoyed vibe, views and overall experience and made memories.
Excellent adventure, very knowledgeable tour guides, Larry our driver was outstanding also, must do! Cool trip!
Family owned & operated, a must do while in Waikiki!! The guys went above & beyond to make this amazing & to give us a taste of Venice while in Hawaii! Serenaded us, served sparkling cider & snacks, very knowledgeable about Waikiki/Honolulu history & made sure we got to see a spectacular sunset to celebrate our 20th anniversary/2nd honeymoon (renewed vows prior to gondola cruise). Definitely made our experience one to remember! Highly recommend & would do again, when we return! A+++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
