Albatross Transport

Go sightseeing in style.

So much to see, so little time. When you’re here on the islands, playing tourist is always a good thing. And though most of you are probably familiar with the whole, compact-car-rental thing, it can be tough to appreciate the sights when your eyes are glued to the GPS on the dashboard. Take sightseeing to the next level and get transportation with driver in tow. Whether you’re looking for luxury, a vehicle for a big group, or tech-savvy transportation, we have you covered.

Albatross Transport is Hawai‘i’s ultra-posh chauffeur and tour service. Choose from a variety of high-end vehicles including a BMW X3, Jaguar XLJ or the exclusive Rolls Royce Ghost to ride in style around the island. Drive along Kalakaua Avenue and soak up breathtaking views of the south shore’s picturesque landscape or experience one of the company’s pre-planned tours. Chauffeur services are also perfect for extravagant date nights and unforgettable anniversaries. But then again, do you really need an excuse to indulge?

If your group goes well beyond a party of five, VIP TRANS is the way to go. With its Mercedes-Benz shuttle buses (two sizes available) and fleet of Cadillac Escalades, there’s no better way to comfortably beach, shop or restaurant hop with all of your friends and fam in the same vehicle.

“VIP has been servicing customers in Hawai‘i for more than 30 years now… For the family reunion or wedding, we have a variety vehicles including SUVs, Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and more,” says Ash Matar of VIP TRANS. The company can also arrange custom tours and executive pickups.

Speaking of executive pickups, if you’re here for business, you can make the travel time between meetings all the more productive with Carey Honolulu‘s “Carey Car.” The limited-edition Lincoln Town car was designed just for the luxury transportation service providers and touts several on-the-go amenities. Step into the spacious car and you’ll come across high-tech frills such as iPads, in-car Wi-Fi, reading lamps and a writing/laptop desk.
