We had an amazing time with Hawaii WOW Gondola Cruise. The experience was awesome and the customer service was the best. I would recommend that everyone who visit Hawaii put this experience at the top of their to-do list! You will not be disappointed!

My wife and I had a very wonderful time on our gondola cruise. The Aloha Bourealis was a nice touch. I highly recommend this as a must do when visiting Oahu....Spencer

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

Response from Host

Aloha, We are thrilled that you enjoyed the entertainment of your gondolier host. Our on board gps tracking indicated that your cruise did in fact traverse under Ala Moana bridge into the Ala Wai canal. It also went up along Magic island. To say that it made circles in the harbor is inaccurate. It is noted in your booking details that routes may vary due to environmental conditions. During your cruise the water level in the canal was much much higher than usual and your gondolier had decided that it would be unsafe to attempt travelling under a second bridge which was lower than the first bridge as it would have made clearance impossible. This was explained to you during your cruise and you intelligently agreed that is better not to get stuck. To make up for not travelling under a second bridge, your gondolier actually took you further along Magic island than we typically go for an even greater view of Diamond Head and added an additional 15 minutes to your cruise at no additional charge. Thank you for joining us on our Waikiki Gondola Cruise.
