They couldn't... read more do enough for us. Our sunset cruise ended up being a moonlight cruise. They met us and helped make sure we made it to the gondola ok.

  Great service, everything was explained, relaxing, feels like Italy in Hawaii. Was able to watch the sunset @ the 6:15 ride

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

  I have to say this was the most romantic evening I have had in a long time. We took this tour because my daughter booked it for our 27th year... read more anniversary. Waikiki WOW Gondola have definitely lived up to their name. They offer a Venetian Gondola ride around this beautiful Ala Wai Harbor and canal.

A family owned business that can cater to a couple in love to a group or family who want to experience a Venetian gondola ride in Hawaii. It surpassed all my expectations and I definitely give it a 10 out of 10.

  This experience was both relaxing and intimate. I love having the beautiful history of Hawaii with a mix of intimacy and romance

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

  The views were amazing! The tour guides were GREAT!!! A must do. We really enjoyed the family atmosphere and the company of everyone. Beautiful pictures and scenery

  Lovely personalised experience Venice in the pacific.....definitely a experience to try!
A family business who go the extra mile. Loved our experience with them...thanks!

  We took the sunset time which was great because you have the quiet with enough light to see. In addition, the canal goes along the residential homes so you... read more can see the residents of Honolulu and the canoe club practices at this time so you can observe them as well.

They take pictures of you in the beginning but they don't give them to you unless you write a review for them so I recommend taking your own pictures. I don't appreciate them taking pictures of you and then holding them.

The journey flew by unnoticed by interesting stories and attention from young gondoliers. Next time we will definitely come back with our children! Would definitely recommend to everyone!

  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!

  Its an amazing experience! Elliot and team made sure that we have a good time and an awesome experience to remember.

  This was a very enjoyable, personalized, and thoughtful gondola ride! Perfect for viewing sunsets (and in our case, Waikiki fireworks)!! It exceeded our expectations and was a priceless memorable experience!!!

He clearly... read more loves his city. Elliot, our guide, brought the city of Waikiki alive for us on this beautiful moonlit night! He mixed in history, music, fun and laughter throughout the night.

Elliot also gave us lots of ideas of other things to do while in Waikiki! And can't forget the singing it was delightful!!!

Thank you Elliot!
