A Celebration They Will Never Forget
Are you tired of the same old dinner reservations where you can’t hear each other? Bored of standard bowling parties or crowded bars? XploreRide offers a celebration venue that is truly out of this world.
We have reinvented the concept of the “Party Bus.” Forget the sticky floors, loud engines, and bumpy rides of the past. Our premium, Zero-Emission Electric Bus transforms into a private theater on wheels. Hosted by HIS and featuring visual wizardry by NAKED, INC., this is a shared experience that brings people together.
Whether you are turning 7 or 70, experiencing the magic of Hawaii’s history and mythology with your closest friends is the perfect way to mark the occasion. Cruising through the heart of Waikiki while surrounded by digital sea turtles and volcanic fire spirits creates a shared memory that lasts a lifetime.
Powered by World-Class Innovation
We combine Japanese technology with local expertise to
create a safe, premium experience you can trust.
The “Wow” Factor Included
Planning a party for a large group is stressful. We make it easy, comfortable, and incredibly cool.
Here is why XploreRide is the smartest venue choice for your next event:
1. 100% Private & Exclusivev
When you charter the bus for a private event, the space is yours. There are no strangers to worry about. You can laugh as loud as you want, take group selfies without judgment, and enjoy the intimacy of a private event. It creates a “VIP” atmosphere that naturally gets everyone talking and bonding, unlike a fragmented dinner table.
2. Cool Comfort (Literally)
Hawaii parties often mean sweating in the sun or worrying about a sudden tropical rainstorm. On XploreRide, the weather is always perfect. Our powerful air-conditioning keeps your guests cool, hair-styles intact, and makeup fresh. It is the ideal “pre-game” activity that ensures everyone arrives at the next stop looking their best.
3. Fun for All Ages (Multi-Generational)
It is rare to find a venue that entertains kids, teenagers, and grandparents equally. The RideVision technology mesmerizes tech-savvy teens with its motion-synced visuals, while the cultural storytelling and comfortable seating appeal to older guests who might not want to walk far. Everyone rides together, and everyone has a blast.
The Perfect “Pre-Game” Activity
Wondering how to fit XploreRide into your celebration? It works best as the “Appetizer” to a great night out. Here is a sample timeline for a perfect birthday evening:
- 17:00 – Meet Up: Gather your group at DFS Waikiki. It is a central landmark, easy to find, and surrounded by parking options.
- 17:15 – Boarding: Step onto your private, air-conditioned bus. The “Wow” starts the moment the cool air hits you and guests see the vibrant interior wrap.
- 17:30 – The Ride: Depart on the 40-minute immersive show. Travel through the “Deep Sea,” “Volcano,” and “Flower” zones. Guests will be pointing out hidden Mana Stones and reacting to the 3D effects together.
- 18:15 – Dinner: Drop off back at DFS Waikiki, energized and buzzing with conversation. Walk just 5 minutes to a celebratory dinner at nearby hotspots like Duke’s, The Royal Hawaiian Center, or International Market Place.
Better Than the Usual Options

Make It Your Own
For private charters, the bus becomes your exclusive mobile lounge. While the route and show are fixed to ensure the tech works perfectly, the atmosphere is up to you:
- Decorations: You are welcome to bring handheld balloons, wear matching leis, or dress up in a theme (like “Under the Sea”)! (Note: To protect our high-tech screens, we cannot tape decorations to the walls).
- The Vibe: Since it is a private ride, you don’t have to whisper! It’s your space to cheer, laugh, and enjoy the show together as a group.
- Timing: We coordinate with your schedule to ensure you leave and arrive exactly when you need to, keeping your party timeline on track.

Celebration FAQ
-
To keep our high-tech bus clean and safe for all guests, we do not allow food on board. However, we are located right next to some of the best restaurants in Waikiki! We highly recommend riding with us first to build up an appetite, then walking to your dinner reservation for the cake cutting.
-
The tour features a specific, synchronized audio track that matches the visual effects (sound effects for the ocean, volcano, etc.). This audio is crucial because it helps the RideVision technology prevent motion sickness by keeping your senses aligned.
-
For a private charter, you typically pay a flat rate for the vehicle. Whether you bring 10 people or fill all 40 seats, the price is for the exclusive use of the bus. It offers incredible value for larger groups compared to buying individual tickets!
-
No, XploreRide is an alcohol-free experience. We focus on the “natural high” of the visual journey! This makes us a fantastic option for families, church groups, and corporate teams looking for wholesome fun.
-
Weekends fill up quickly. For private charters, we recommend contacting us at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred time slot. December and Summer months are particularly busy, so earlier is better!
