Royal Star Hawaii Invests Over $4 Million in 10 New Vehicles

Royal Star Hawaii has announced a major fleet expansion that reflects the company’s deep commitment to elevating transportation service in Hawaii and a rising demand for its services. With an investment of more than four million dollars in 10 new vehicles, Royal Star Hawaii continues to set industry standards for safety, comfort, and reliability for groups traveling across Oahu.

 This exciting expansion supports the company’s long-term vision of maintaining the largest, newest, and environmentally responsible charter fleet on the island. It also reinforces why Royal Star Hawaii remains the trusted choice for groups seeking dependable transportation service in Hawaii. Royal Star’s services are backed by professional drivers, innovative fleet technology, and the Spirit of Aloha woven into every ride.

A Significant Investment in Hawaii’s Largest Charter Fleet

Royal Star Hawaii’s newest fleet investment includes eight premium motorcoaches and two 14-passenger vans, all scheduled to arrive by January 2026. Once added to the current fleet, Royal Star Hawaii will operate a total of 57 vehicles—confirming its standing as the largest charter transportation provider on Oahu.

The newly expanded fleet supports a growing customer base that includes student groups, wedding parties, sports teams, corporate travelers, schools, church groups, and visiting organizations. Every new vehicle meets Royal Star Hawaii’s standards for comfort and safety, continuing the company’s legacy as the first and only transportation provider in Hawaii with a 100% seat-belted, Michelin tire-equipped, and MonitorCam and GPS-enabled motorcoach fleet. Guests can expect a smooth, comfortable experience whether they are traveling across the island for a tour, special event, or private group charter.

Supporting Both Signature Service Categories: Silver and Deluxe Gold

The new vehicles further strengthen Royal Star Hawaii’s two service categories—Silver and Deluxe Gold—giving groups the flexibility to choose the level of comfort and service that best matches their budget and needs.

 The Silver category offers a dependable and cost-effective option ideal for schools, sports teams, convention shuttles, airport transfers, and groups seeking reliable transportation. These vehicles emphasize efficiency, comfort, and safety, making them a top choice for travel planners looking for value.

 The Deluxe Gold category delivers an elevated experience with thoughtful enhancements, such as onboard restrooms for longer journeys, a kneeling feature benefitting seniors and guests with mobility considerations, and added touches such as mint and hand towelette service. These motorcoaches are well-suited for corporate events, VIP groups, wedding parties, and travelers desiring a premium travel experience.

Both categories feature spacious interiors, panoramic windows, and air conditioning, all supported by Royal Star Hawaii’s On-Time Guarantee, 15-minute increment charge, and an exceptional driver team known for professionalism and warm hospitality. Regardless of category, guests can expect safe, timely, and world-class service.

Reinforcing a Legacy of Excellence as the Company Approaches 30 Years

In 2026, Royal Star Hawaii will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Since opening in 1996, the company has grown steadily, guided by a focus on safety, reliability, and Aloha-filled service.

 Royal Star Hawaii continues to earn worldwide recognition, including TripAdvisor’s ranking of its Grand Circle Island Tour as the number one experience in the world and the United States in 2023. Its Pearl Harbor Tour also ranked among the top ten experiences in the nation. These accolades reflect the company’s commitment to excellence across every aspect of its service, from its tour operations to its Aloha service.

The investment in 10 new vehicles also aligns with its parent company, Stars of Paradise Tours and Attractions’ long-term vision. As part of its 68-year legacy, recent initiatives include solar power upgrades at its corporate headquarters and operations maintenance yard, “Quality Circle” training programs, and continued collaboration with its sister companies across the tourism and hospitality industry.
