    Magic island segway ride was fun !!

    Did the magic island Segway tour with my wife. Alan was our tour guide and showed us the ropes. I had never used a segway before and Alan was great at helping me use it and get upto speed. Alan went through magic island, gave us informative information about the history and took plenty of pics for us which was much appreciated. Really enjoyed it and we highly recommend Segways of Hawaii !

    Response from the operator: Aloha and thank you for your kind comments regarding our Magic Island Beach Glide and your guide Alan...who is so passionate about all things Hawaii. We appreciate you and wishing you a Happy New Year. Mahalo nui loa.

    Great tour!

    Loved this tour with Alan, our guide. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but Alan is a really fun person who gave us a wealth of information on the local area and its history, Hawaii in general, and recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and other activities. We cruised down by the harbor, along the beachfront, and through some parks on these Segways, which really take very little time at all to learn to ride. My wife had never been on one, but with 10-15 minutes or so of instruction and practice, she was comfortable and ready to go!

    Great family fun

    This tour was as fun as I had hoped for my family of 4. With a couple of typical nonchalant teenagers in tow, this seemed an ideal choice to see more of the locality together. Segways were a first for all of us and my wife was dubious beforehand and a little nervous, but these turned out very easy and natural to ride. The short training was fine to get things going. Michael was an excellent personable guide, taking us through a morning tour covering more distance than I had imagined which was effortless. Once relaxed, I found you can naturally look around to take in the sights whilst gliding along which is a lot different to being prone riding a bike for example. The stops at choice viewpoints were ideal to soak up the scene and take photos and we were also given opportunity to test out some of the segway's limits. 2hrs was about the right length and water was provided for. We did this morning tour off peak end of October and the weather was ideal on the day. I recommend it, try it for something fun and different for the family!

    Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.

    How much does Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Honolulu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Honolulu is not rushed.

    Is Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Honolulu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Honolulu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Honolulu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Magic Island, Ala Moana Park & Kaka'ako Waterfront Park Glide start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Honolulu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Honolulu?

    +

    Honolulu and greater Oahu run on early starts. Pearl Harbor memorial tickets release on a fixed schedule, the North Shore circle-island loop needs a full day, and the catamaran and snorkel runs off Waikiki fill fast in season. We rank on whether the operator secures Pearl Harbor entry themselves and how tight the circle-island itinerary really is. On Outty we rank every Honolulu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kevo's Beach Bus Paddleboard Snorkel Adventure North Shore Oahu, Pearl Harbor City Tour, Ultimate Pearl Harbor Circle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Honolulu?

    +

    April to June and September to November, between the wet season and peak crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Honolulu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
