It was so nice to be welcomed by a friendly driver with beautiful leis for us on arrival. He was very helpful with our bags and drove us in a luxurious vehicle to our hotel. It was worry free and relaxing. After a very long trip to get here. I’d recommend it for everyone!

They never showed up and never returned my call. The number is automated and they don’t have a live agent . Waited over half hour. Ended up taking a taxi
Response from Host, May 2026
Aloha Neil,
Mahalo for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced.
After reviewing our records, we were unable to locate a reservation under your name, and it appears Viator may not have successfully transmitted the booking to our system. Unfortunately, without receiving the reservation details, we would not have been able to dispatch a driver or proactively contact you.
We understand how frustrating this must have been after arriving at Honolulu Airport, and we’re very sorry for the experience.
Mahalo and aloha

Our tour guide was on time, texted any instructions and we had a comfortable ride. Highly recommend!
William_B, May 2026
I would highly recommend this transport service. Booking was easy, we received texts ahead of our arrival for a meeting place at the airport and our driver, Alena was pleasant and welcoming. Alena had to wait an extra 1.5-2 hours extra after the baggage system at the airport broke down. She remained very pleasant and accommodating through the ordeal. We chose to purchase the ride with an orchid lei greeting. You won’t go wrong reserving with this transport service!

Driver was very nice and helpful. He got all of our bags for us and we didn’t have to worry about anything. The only bad review would be we didn’t get any leis.
Christina_T, May 2026
She didn’t make herself very visible so we couldn’t find her. She wasn’t standing with the other drivers by the exit. She was standing near the side exit by her car. Our baggage carousel changed, which she should have checked, so she couldn’t find us either. We went outside to look for her and called her, she wanted us to lug all our luggage back through baggage claim to her and had to put our own bags on her cart. After all this of course we’re thirsty, but all she gave us was two warm mini water bottles. I always choose a private transfer when traveling because usually they find you, give you a warm traditional welcome, take all your luggage off your hands, tell you exactly where to go, give you an ice cold drink, and point things out or give you local tips on the way. We should have just gotten a $30 uber and picked up a lei at the vending machine at our hotel.

Aloha Christina,
Mahalo for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear your arrival experience did not meet expectations.
At Honolulu Airport (HNL), pickup locations can occasionally change due to airport operations and baggage carousel reassignments, but we understand how frustrating it must have felt trying to locate your driver after a long flight. We also apologize that the welcome experience and refreshments did not feel as warm and seamless as expected for your private Honolulu Airport transfer with lei greeting.
Your comments regarding communication, luggage assistance, and the overall arrival experience have been shared with our team so we can continue improving our service standards.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to serve you during your visit to Hawaii.
Mahalo and aloha! 🤙

It was wonderful. Vincent was very patient. Waiting for our luggage took forever and he waited with us.
Peter_O, May 2026
Danny was great! It was my son and niece’s first time to Hawaii. Danny took care of the bags, took welcome pictures of all us….! So glad I did this versus a taxi or Uber!
Brenda_J, May 2026
This was a really great experience - when we were waiting for our luggage, the driver was already there waiting for us! He helped us with our bags, very helpful & knowledgeable regarding Waikiki, had the air conditioning on & drove us to our timeshare quickly!
Mikie_H, May 2026
It was great fast and easy. Driver texted me where to meet her. She was helpful getting bags and luggage to the van.
Ed_R, May 2026
We had a fantastic experience with this shuttle service in Waikiki and highly recommend them. Our private shuttle was right on time for both trips, and the drivers were friendly, professional, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with.
Andy picked us up from the airport and immediately made us feel welcome. He shared great recommendations for places to visit and eat, which helped kick off our trip on the right note.
On the way back, James was just as wonderful. He told us all about surfing, how to read the waves, and gave us a little window into local life. It made the ride to the airport feel like part of the adventure rather than the end of it.
Reliable, warm, and easy—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommended.
Linda_D, May 2026
Timely, informative, helpful, patient through rush hour. Would use them again. Lei was a nice touch.
Emily_K, May 2026
Amazing all around.
Lee, our driver was courteous and was there early waiting for us with text notifications so we did not have to wonder.
Car was clean and large and I could not give a better review. He was great.

Marilyn_S, Apr 2026
All went smoothly. Alena met us in baggage claim as she said she would. We were delayed in getting off the plane due to lack of wheelchair staff, but she waited for us. She was parked just a short distance away and helped us with our luggage.
yolanda_L, Apr 2026
After arriving from a long and sleepless flight, Danny made the arrival effortless and welcoming. He had guided us in the vehicle while he took care of uploading the luggage’s and even took them inside the hotel for us. He was really nice and offered recommendations of what to do. Overall I highly recommend Danny!!
Marianne_D, Apr 2026

John_C, Apr 2026
I had the wrong flight number, they texted me to let me know. And I gave the correct flight number. And the driver was there and on time to take us to our hotel. He welcomed us to Hawaii and greeted us with a lei to wear around our necks
Ronald_D, Apr 2026
