Had a beautiful evening yesterday, cruising Ala Wai Harbor and Canal with WOW Gondola Cruises Our gondolier sang songs and told stories about the city while we sipped sparklng cider and enjoyed chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. We saw unique views of the city as we glided over smooth waters. It was the most relaxing time I've had here on the island.If you ever find yourself in Honolulu, don't miss this unique, enchanting experience!

Can't say enough good things about this company or this experience. It was absolutely amazing and the family owned business really makes the experience like no other. They are fun and very informative, the gondolier sang us songs, told us about the island and everything we were seeing. We booked the firework cruise and it was outstanding, an absolutely perfect view of the fireworks, so close and absolutely breathtaking. It was a perfectly romantic and fun evening out on the water.

The hospitality of this business was top tier! Shawn and his team were so awesome and helpful. They were very catering from the beginning to the end! I will definitely recommend their gondola rides to anyone who come to Honolulu, Hawaii for vacationing. They provided refreshments along with the umbrellas for sun coverage which was a nice touch as the sun was out during our ride. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time here on our honeymoon! Many thanks to Sean who is hilarious. They offer sweet treats and a relaxing and welcoming environment while riding in a comfortable gondola down the canals. Remember to kiss under the bridge for good luck!

This was such a pleasant and fun experience. We had a great time learning about the history of Waikiki and the canal. Chatting about Hawaii and all it has to offer - while sipping chilled cider and eating delicious chocolate-covered macadamias Our gondoliers were such a pleasure to hangout with and made us relax and laugh the entire time. They entertained us with singing and breathtaking views of the city and the canal. We were even able to see a baby turtle during the tour. This is definitely an aloha-filed experience you should not miss!

Was hoping for a romantic ride but was anything but.... The woman serving us was drinking and eating too which was very awkward and made us feel uncomfortable. The guy rowing/driving the gondola kept telling us stories about how customers were proposing and kept asking us about our marriage. Between talking to us and interrupting our conversations, he would sing along with the music very loudly and off key I might add. We paid for the experience for us, not to share with them. On top of that we never got our photos even after emailing them and asking. Not worth the money, completely unprofessional and you do not get everything that's "included" in the price.

Nice relaxing cruise, Sean had some good facts without talking our ear off. Attentive crew at the boarding site. Fun photo ops as well. We were with another couple, some people might want to ask for a private tour.

Our gondolier brother hosts, Eliot and Shawn, were wonderfully accommodating and fun. They provided snacks, sparkling apple juice, water, hats, parasols, leis, music on demand, sing alongs, and other stuff I am forgetting. What I do remember is the historical and architectural knowledge as we floated down the canal. The midday cruise was a serene and relaxing way to see the city from a unique perspective and a well needed break from the hustle and bustle of this busy vacation town. We highly recommend it and will do it again given the chance.

The gondola ride exceeded my expectations. The gondolier was amazing and very knowledgeable of the area. The gondola was beautiful. The decor was romantic and fitting of the ride. I felt like I was in Italy. Yummy snacks were provided. The gondolier was attentive and took amazing photos of my husband and I. We went at 6:00pm and the sunset was breath taking. I will definitely book again when I return to Oahu.
