East Oahu Coastal Sightseeing Trolley

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Feel the trade winds rush through the open-air trolley as Waikīkī falls away and East Oʻahu’s turquoise water, black lava cliffs, and sweeping Makapuʻu coastline unfold during a flexible day of coastal exploration.

  • Cruise East Oʻahu’s coastline with sweeping ocean and ridge views
  • Watch Halona Blowhole surge through black volcanic rock
  • Hop off at Makapuʻu for dramatic windward coastal scenery
  • Explore Koko Marina Center beside the Hawaiʻi Kai waterfront
  • Visit Waikīkī attractions while shaping your own sightseeing day

Quick Local Tip: Bring beach gear and hop off near Sea Life Park for Makapuʻu Beach, or visit Halona Cove beside the blowhole. Both offer white sand, turquoise water, and a more natural coastal stop beyond the roadside viewpoints.

What to Expect

Leave the busy streets of Waikīkī aboard the ocean view blue line trolley and watch Honolulu gradually give way to volcanic ridges, turquoise water, and the rugged coastline of East Oʻahu. Onboard narration adds local context as the scenery changes around you.

One of the route’s highlights is Halona Blowhole Lookout, where waves crash against black lava rock and, when conditions cooperate, seawater erupts through the natural blowhole below. Continue toward Makapuʻu and Sea Life Park, with dramatic mountain and ocean views unfolding along the way.

With unlimited hop-on hop-off access, the day is yours to shape. Step off at Koko Marina Center for waterfront dining and shopping, visit Sea Life Park, or stay aboard and simply enjoy the coastal ride. Stops closer to Waikīkī also provide access to the Honolulu Zoo and Waikīkī Aquarium.

Explore as much or as little as you like, then catch a later trolley and continue along the route, turning a sightseeing drive into your own day along Oʻahu’s southeastern coast.
