  We went there today such a great time we enjoyed every single moment and everything was just perfect

We are really happy that we chose them to go on that cruise
Also they were really nice because we were late caz I got some stomachache and we weren’t able to make it on time we called them and they understand the situation and they worked with us and they told us if we can come after two hours. And they didn’t charge us anything
So thank you guys for everything we really appreciate it and we had a lot of fun

  I booked this cute little gondola cruise for my husband and I to celebrate my husband’s birthday and his first time in Hawaii. We were running late due to valet... read more issues, traffic and not being able to find the exact location. Fortunately for us the staff was very patient, helpful and accommodating. Upon arrival we were greeted with leis and a beautiful arrangement of sparking cider, chocolate covered strawberries, cannolis and an assortment of cookies. The cruise itself was peaceful & lovely. Our gondola host was very entertaining and so was our photographer. We would definitely come back again and recommend this company to our family & friends.

  After 30 years of coming to Honolulu, and now living here, I’ve been on many excursions. But this one will definitely go with the top of my list a Favorites!... read more Everything about it was a joy from the beginning. Our guides Larry, Sean and Elliott were incredible and they made this more than excursion but an event I will never forget! I’d get this more than five stars if I could!

  The host was very pleasant. But the supposed canal ride ended up being circles in the marina only. We were very disappointed.

  What a remarkable ride. I normally get seasick when I am on a boat, but this ride was very smooth. No waves, just a calm gentle current. The treats... read more were very tasty, and the gondolier was fun to talk to.

  Exceeded our expectations. Sit back and let them wow you! Thanks for a great anniversary night. Love

  Wonderful experience. Shawn was a really great guide and kept us entertained the entire time. Highly recommend if you are visiting Hawaii

  Amazing experience, people are very friendly and informative! Would definitely recommend for a nice romantic get away with pictures.

  I was very interested in somewhere romantic and private that I could propose to my girlfriend of 2 years.

  We booked the Gondola cruise on our first day of arrival in Hawaii, and I'm so glad we did! Not only was it very relaxing and we got to see... read more some really cool parts of Honolulu (like the canals and bridges), but the folks who operate the business are soooo wonderful! This is a family owned business, and they really care about making sure that everyone who books a tour has a great time. On top of having a really relaxing time on the water, the owners also told us about a fireworks show that was coming up just ~45 minutes after our tour, so with their tip we got to enjoy front row views of the fireworks as well. Overall this is a great way to get settled in the vacation mood, and we highly recommend it!

  What a wonderful experience! On this unique cruise, be prepared to kick back, relax, leave the “driving” to your friendly gondolier, and enjoy seeing the Ala Wai canal from a... read more totally different and pleasant perspective. My wife and I live in Waikiki. We see the canal from our high rise every day. But after our gondola ride, we have newfound appreciation for its beauty and tranquility, particularly at night when the stars are visible amid the glow of the city lights. Our affable and accommodating gondolier told us stories, educated us on little known details about the canal and the marina, and even tenderly serenaded us as we cruised along the glassy calm water. We opted for the fireworks cruise during which our gondolier expertly maneuvered us to a special spot where we had the absolute best vantage point for watching the fireworks all to ourselves. The gondola cruise was everything we’d hoped it would be as we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary. It was definitely a memorable night!

  We took the sunset cruise with Elliot as our amazing gondolier and it was fantastic! He was very informative and it was the best as well as most relaxing outing... read more of our vacation! Will do again next time for sure!!

  Was looking for something different to do. This definitely fit the bill! Although we didn’t get to see the sunset, our gondolier was nice, informative and entertaining.

Waikiki WOW Gondola have definitely lived up to their name. They offer a Venetian Gondola ride around this beautiful Ala Wai Harbor and canal.
