Waikiki Trolley Holiday Lights Tour
Looking for a magical holiday experience with loved ones?
Experience the magic in sharing some warm cocoa, a jolly sing along and a ride through the festively lit city with the ones you love most. Many of our guests come back year after year, making Waikiki Trolley’s Holiday Lights Tour one of the best holiday traditions Oahu has to offer.
For 2025, you’ll be able to enjoy two festive locations! Running daily from November 30 to December 30, the Holiday Lights Tour takes you through historic downtown, passing by the new location at Thomas Square before continuing on to Honolulu Hale, where you can enjoy hop-on, hop-off access to the Honolulu City Lights.
We will explore the festive holiday lights, marvel at the city’s 50-foot Christmas tree, Shaka Santa and Tutu Mele. We will also enjoy joyous sing-a-longs and jolly Christmas stories from the comfort of an open-air bus.
The ticket includes access to the Holiday Wonderland for cocoa, free games, crafts, and photos with Santa Clause and his grumpy green friend.
