The zoo is conveniently located in Kapiolani Park, just across the street from the beach on the southern (Diamond Head) side of Waikiki. Look for us in front of the Honolulu Zoo under the massive banyan trees!
- 1Your hoverboarding adventure starts when you make your way to the front of the Honolulu Zoo in Waikiki and meet your local guide. After safety instructions and some practice, your hoverboard will become an extension of you to effortlessly explore the island on. Pop on your wireless one-ear audio receiver to learn from your guide about Hawaii's nature, history, and listen to nostalgic Hawaiian music as you hover from place to place. Since you'll start at Historic Kapiolani Park, you'll first learn to recognize some of the most popular and beautiful island trees such as the blooming Rainbow Shower, fragrant Plumeria, and massive Indian Banyan Trees. We take in the impressive beach views while learning about ancient Hawaiian and modern surfing on Oahu, known as the 'birthplace of surfing'. Stop at a little known prior human sacrificial temple location and learn about Hawaii's ancient Gods, Kings, Queens, and priestly Kahuna. Listen to beautiful examples of uniquely Hawaiian instruments such as the slack key guitar and ukulele as we explore the bandstand, then take a profile pic worthy photo at Diamond Heads most photogenic location. Hear about the island's volcanic birth, and learn how the fire Goddess Pele created it all! Hover to the neoclassical War Memorial and Natatorium, then glide over the sand along a palm tree-lined walkway to a local favorite beach Kaimana. Take in the charming historic cottages and multi-million dollar mansions in the Gold Coast while learning about the architecture and real estate development of Hawaii. You'll next climb up the oceanfront side of Diamond Head to marvel at the panoramic vistas, look for neighbor islands and whales in winter months, and point out hidden bunkers from Diamond Head's military history. Heading back we stop to sample some local snacks, hover under 100-foot palm trees at a quiet beach park, listen to nostalgic tiki pop culture comedy songs, and ride through an Indian banyan that is over a century old. Try to guess Hawaii filmed movies and TV shows from their soundtracks on the way to take in the beach views while we glide towards the setting sun. When the sun set's we light up our hoverboards and hover with oceanfront views of Waikiki. To soak up the island ambiance, we'll glide back along the promenade listening to famous Hawaiian music, even a song composed in 1874 by the very last Hawaiian Monarch, Queen Liliuokalani!

- jstacy30720 contributionsGreat art workOur family had a great time going through Waikiki looking at the street art. Some amazing murals. Guide was very nice!Written July 6, 2023
- CAB5070 contributionsGreat way to experience something differentOur family of 5 went on a 2 hour gliding experience with Hawaii Hoverboarding to lower diamond head and back. Equipment was well maintained and with headset commentary to match with the trip timing we learned more about the area.Written December 15, 2022
- Rebecca B0 contributionsOwner not responsive to requests for picturesI booked this tour for my husband and I on November 25, 2022. The guy showed up ended up being the owner of the company. My husband doesn't have any experience with Segway/hoverboarding, so the guy let him do 2 turns and we were off. My husband was not afforded the opportunity to get even 5 minutes worth of practice prior to us taking off for 1-2 hours but he did do great with the little bit of practice time. The guide didn't tell us what we were seeing, he'd only talk if I asked him questions. He also didn't allow us many opportunities to take pictures but he took them with his phone. There were areas that I wouldn't want to photograph due to so many homeless people's camps and trash around. Still if I knew he wasn't going to respond to my emails requesting him to email us the pictures he took. I could've gotten a few pictures of us with my own phone. I have told numerous people about this and I hope they tell others because this guy doesn't deserve to thrive in business if it's ran so poorly. I even tipped the guy $30 for a poor tour, wish I hadn't now that he didn't keep his word in sending us the pictures he took. I'd never suggest this tour to anyone or take it again myself. I'm uploading the 1 picture I got.Written December 3, 2022
- gaylewilliams5550 contributionsA must do activity!From the moment we booked the tour, we felt comfortable that we had chosen well. Instructions on where to meet were crystal clear and the length of the tour was perfect. Most of all, we were so super impressed with tour leader Hernan. His amazing local knowledge paired with his terrific personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. Although we had done segways before, the machines here were more robust and Hernan made sure that all safety aspects were thoroughly ticked off before we began. During the tour he was so kind and thoughtful - taking numerous photos of us at locations and also making sure that we had enough water to drink. I cannot speak more highly of this tour, such a genuine wonderful person to have showing us the beautiful sights of Waikiki, thank you so much! I recommend it to anyone young or old.Written November 8, 2022
- A4377AFjohnw0 contributionsEasy fun Segway tourNice easy ride around the Diamond Head area. Guide was informative and easy going. Your was a good time with some awesome views of the beach and the city. Highly recommend for an overview of the area and an overall good time. Hit The Tiki Grille near the meeting point and loved that too.Written March 4, 2022
- 132669esy0 contributionsDifficulty Understanding The GuideWe have several segway tours. The segway (they call hoverboards) were fine and performed well. We enjoyed the sights that were on the tour. Biggest problem was the communication from the tour guide. He had pretty strong accent and we both had difficulty understanding him. After a while you just give up. He was a really nice guy but just hard to understand.Written February 20, 2022
- emptynesters010 contributionsNot what we signed up for.We had used Hawaii Hoverboarding Tours on a previous trip to Hawaii, and wanted to give them repeat business. It appeared that the original company has sold out, and the new company did not live up to our expectations. 1.) Upon arrival we were told our booking was for the next day, it took at least45 minutes to get this sort and on our way. After the tour I sent the company my reservation for the date we arrived and had no response. 2.) On our previous tour there was a cool audio of what we were seeing as we rode past. This was not the case with the new company. 3) When we stopped the guide barely spoke to us, and certainly did not share any info about the area. He took one picture of our group and never forwarded it to us as promised. 4.) We asked to pick up the pace of the tour as he was going really slow. Our request was ignored, probably because the unit he was riding was incapable to increasing speed. Disappointing as riding Segways is one of our favorite ways to tour a big city. Will be looking for a new company on our return trip in June. Hate to write a negative review but it was not what we signed up for.Written February 3, 2022
- Michael D0 contributionsNot as advertisedMy issue is that we paid for a Street Art tour and we did not visit any part of the Kaka'ako area nor did we see any street art. We basically started at the HHV and went past Magic Island and then doubled back. This is not tour we purchased. It felt like we were given the Japanese version of your other tour. Had taken a previous tour in May that was cut short due to a rider injury. Quality control seems to be lacking in the user experience. An ok experience but not worth what we received. Contacted the company with my concerns with no response or resolution. Photos taken by guide were subpar. We would have taken our own if we knew they were going to be that bad.Written December 30, 2021
- jmm14180 contributionsFun activity with beautiful sceneryLots of fun! First time on a hoverboard and the guides provided thorough instructions with plenty practice time before setting off on the tour. It didn’t take long to feel comfortable driving it. The route was very beautiful and scenic. Would highly recommend this tour!Written October 30, 2021
- CBaskinger0 contributionsFun TourAfter a brief instruction on how to maneuver the hoverboard, we were off to a really fun morning. This was a great way to see much of Waikiki and learn about its rich culture and history. The tour guides were very friendly and fun. This is a wonderful tour to see plenty of Waikiki in a short amount of time.Written October 26, 2021

- Jennifer C0 contributionsExcellent experienceOur tour was amazing, Dre, the owner, and tour guide was friendly, informative and enthusiastic about Honolulu. I would recommend this tour and give 5 plus stars. There were several stops for those who are beginners or those who need to step off and stretch their feet! I would book again if ever back in Honolulu. Thanks Dre for making our segway tour great.Written July 20, 2021
- Cosmopolitan6219710 contributionsHawaii Hoverboard Ala Moana Magic TourThis tour was so much fun we had a blast. Very easy to find the location , D’Andre gave each person brief lesson on riding the hoverboard until each person felt comfortable. The tour itself was great with breathtaking views of the coastline and sites around the city with a few stops for photo ops. If your looking for a fun adventure you definitely have to try this out … highly recommend!Written June 30, 2021

Sadly we got rained out, but Steve was accommodating and friendly. We get to do the lesson for using the hoverboards and see the very start of the tour. I liked the audio through the ear piece while riding. We hope to get back to Hawaii again and we'll sign up for another try then. We got a full refund since the tour was cancelled due to weather.

This is a great experience for anyone visiting Waikiki. The Hoverboards are easy to learn, this was my first time on one and took no more than 10mins to get the hang of it, very intuitive. Once we got going Steve showed me all the local attractions, bit of a history lesson and some great sights. He is a superb tour guide and conducts the tour at a comfortable pace. I did not feel rushed and got to take it all in. I would highly recommend this tour and will even have another go when I visit again with friends.

I have never hooverboarded before and our guide was patient and in the end, it was pretty simple! The tour is professionally done. The headsets were so helpful to hear our guide, but I especially liked the music as we scooted along! I enjoyed the hawaiian snack samples. Our guide was quick to take pictures of my husband and I which I appreciated for our scrapbook. My favorite part was driving through a wealthy side of town and seeing how the "lucky" live. The sunset and cooler temps in the evening made the glow tour a better option than the day option for my husband and I.
