Glide through Waikiki Harbor on a Venetian-style gondola with a serenade, scenic views, chilled drinks, and light snacks.
About this tour
Trade Waikiki’s bustle for a gentle glide along the water on a Waikiki gondola cruise. A forever flower lei welcomes you aboard a Venetian-style gondola with Hawaiian touches, setting the scene for a relaxed outing on Waikiki Harbor and the Grand Canal, known as the “Venice of the Pacific.”
As the gondola moves at an unhurried pace, take in views of Diamond Head, Magic Island, and the Honolulu skyline. The scenery varies with the time of your cruise, and evening rides may bring sunset colors reflected on the water. Your gondoliers serenade you with songs and share stories about the area while you enjoy chilled drinks and pastries or light snacks. The small-group or private experience accommodates up to four passengers, making it a peaceful choice for couples or families. Photos are provided after you write a review on GetYourGuide. Life jackets, umbrellas, and blankets are available onboard if needed.
Settle in, enjoy the views, and experience Waikiki from the calm waters of a Waikiki gondola cruise.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 50% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in Oahu by this score.
