We drive past Thomas Square Park to enjoy its beautiful illuminations, but our official stop is only at Honolulu Hale. We do not stop at Thomas Square due to its varying event schedule. You are welcome to walk there on your own—just be sure to return to the pick-up point on time. It’s about 15 minute walk from Honolulu Hale.
On days when trains and special events are happening at Thomas Square, there may not be enough time to visit both locations during the 45–60 minutes of free time at Honolulu Hale. We recommend enjoying the double-decker tour and Honolulu Hale with us, and planning a separate visit to Thomas Square on your own, especially on weekends or December 18–25 when the event is active.
Show Aloha Land Event Days:
December 5–7
December 12–14
December 18–25
