The “Coolest” Meeting You’ll Have All Year
Planning a corporate offsite, client appreciation event, or team activity in Honolulu comes with significant challenges. You have to navigate the intense tropical heat, manage complex transportation logistics, and—perhaps hardest of all—find an activity that everyone from the summer interns to the CEO will actually enjoy.
XploreRide solves this problem instantly. We offer the only Extended Reality (XR) Bus Tour in the United States. It is a shared group experience that combines the history of Hawaii with the future of technology, all within the comfort of our premium, Zero-Emission Electric Bus.
Whether you are hosting VIP clients from overseas, celebrating a major Q4 win, or looking for a unique ice-breaker for your annual retreat, XploreRide gets your team talking, bonding, and innovating together. It is not just a tour; it is a shared journey into a new reality.
Powered by World-Class Innovation
We combine Japanese technology with local expertise to
create a safe, premium experience you can trust.
Innovative. Efficient. Comfortable.
We understand that corporate events need to deliver ROI (Return on Investment) in the form of employee engagement and
relationship building. Here is why XploreRide is the preferred choice for forward-thinking companies:
1. Innovation in Action
Don’t just talk about “future-forward thinking” in a conference room—experience it. Show your team the world’s first RideVision technology, developed by a University of Tokyo tech venture. It serves as a powerful conversation starter about innovation, sensor fusion, and the future of mobility. By exposing your team to cutting-edge tech, you inspire them to think outside the box and embrace new ideas.
2. No Sweat, No Stress
Outdoor activities in Hawaii are beautiful, but nobody wants to return to the office or a client dinner feeling sweaty, sandy, and tired. Our bus is fully air-conditioned and climate-controlled. It is strictly “business casual” friendly—absolutely no hiking boots, swimsuits, or sunscreen required. You and your guests arrive at your next destination looking as professional and “camera-ready” as when you boarded.
3. Fits Any Agenda
Time is money, especially during a compressed retreat schedule. A round of golf takes 5 hours; a boat cruise takes 3. The XploreRide experience is a tight, high-impact 30-40 minute loop. It is the perfect “gap activity” to fit smoothly between a morning strategy session and lunch, or as a pre-dinner sunset activity. It provides maximum entertainment value without hijacking your entire day.
4. CSR & Sustainability
Align your brand with green energy values. Our Zero-Emission Electric Bus makes this an eco-conscious choice for companies focused on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and reducing their carbon footprint. We track our CO2 reduction metrics (saving over 21 tons of CO2 as of 2025), helping you meet your corporate ESG goals while having fun.
The Perfect “Gap” Activity
Need to bridge the gap between your afternoon conference session and a team dinner? Here is a sample timeline showing how XploreRide fits perfectly into a corporate agenda:
- 16:00 – Conference Wrap Up: Sessions end at the hotel. Guests have time to freshen up, check emails, and change into evening attire.
- 16:30 – Boarding at DFS Waikiki: Team gathers at the central meeting point. Our staff provides a short briefing and assists with headset fittings to ensure everyone is comfortable.
- 16:45 – The XploreRide Experience: Depart on the 40-minute immersive loop. Ice-breaking happens naturally as colleagues point out the digital whales, react to the volcanic eruptions, and share a sense of awe.
- 17:30 – Return & Dinner: Arrive back at DFS Waikiki, buzzing with conversation about the experience. Walk just 5 minutes to your team dinner at a nearby restaurant like Roy’s, Tommy Bahama, or Eating House 1849, ready for a great evenin
