Absolutely the perfect afternoon!!!! 5 star experience!!!! My friend and I were only in Waikiki for a short amount of time but this tour provided memories for a lifetime !!! Great views, great stories and history, tasty treats, fabulous entertainment and gorgeous pics and videos!!! The icing on the cake was the convenient hotel pick-up. We especially loved that this is a family run business and the pride they all take in sharing their beautiful home shines through!!! Don’t miss this uniquely wonderful experience!!!

Absolutely wonderful! We sailed up the canal, learned some Hawaiian history, and had Italian treats 😊 We were lucky to have two gondoliers share their stories and singing with us. Definitely an experience to remember. Thanks guys, we feel like part of the family.

Excellent!! The presentation and service given by Shawn exceeded our expectation. It was smooth sailing on the Gondola ride and the sunset was awesome! He had briefly told history of the Ali Wai, fun couple trivia game and the best part was singing for us! Although the song choice were ok, I think a few “modern romantic” songs will appeal to most generations. Good job Shawn!

The gondola experience was memorable and full of surprises. We’ve never been to Venice to ride a gondola, but the way the team treated us made it feel like in Venice. The team was very nice and informative, we learned something new about Oahu and how the gondola ride initiated. It’s an interesting experience, who would think you could ride a gondola in Hawaii?
Thanks Venetian Gondola Cruise team for your hospitality. All the best!

The two gondoliers were quite knowledgeable of the canal we sailed on, it’s origin of being in existence for 150
Years, and Hawaiian culture over all, they were entertaining and fun!!! The service was superb, their hospitality was great and for a small price they offered transportation. The gondola was a beautiful boat that pertained delicious candy, chocolate pudding, water, and for a small fee they offered bottle service. My husband and I throughly enjoyed the two brothers who were great hosts. Who provided excellent service!!!! What a memory we will treasure forever. Waikiki best kept secret.

The brothers were so great! Parmesan & Mozzarella is what I call them, (I’m so bad with names), lol, I really want to be very descriptive, but it’ll take away the surprise of what you are in for. The experience was so romantic, relaxing, and full of laughter. My boyfriend was scared of boats and never been on one, & definitely was fearful when we walked onto the port, they made him feel so comfortable, even though he asked a million of questions of what’s in the water & the deepness, no worries! They was so patient with him & answered every question like it was the first, it was all out of love. I highly recommend for couples or even a single person, you will not be disappointed!!!!!
