Our trip was ruined by rain but not only did this Company give us all they could under the cirmumstances, they refunded the entire purchase price. We didn't get to do alot but we still flew to Oahu and toured the city of honolulu. The Staff was exceptional and we are going to go through this Company for all of our tours next year. They are a class act. Thanks for everything.

First I have to say you MUST ask for JUAN as your guide. He is a native of Kauai. He is not only EXTREMELY knowlegeable of the Island, Juan has a great sense of humor, full of great stories retold to him by his grandfather, native histories, is a wealth of information. The Canyon is fasinating to see, as well as the Water Falls that we stopped along the way to witness. Juan told us local folk lore regarding the Sleeping Giant; Sprouting Horn.
Juan is WORTH THE TRIP in himself!

This is a must do! The staff makes this a very easy and enjoyable trip. You never feel lost or worried you will miss anything. They are first class and the feelings and memories will last a life time after seeing the begining of WWII and the end.
I am so amazed each time I have gone on this tour! It was my sixth time and I will go again next year. This is not something you will want to miss!

The trip is fun as you get to see the only live volcano on earth..when we visited, we could see the fumes coming out of 2 volcanoes, but couldnot make near the second one because of excess smoke..the black sand beach is also fun and unique.

Ive been on this twice already!! Went with some buddies and we didn't realize that we were going to another island, the first time. Lanai is so beautiful with lots of reef fishes and the bluest water I have ever seen. Oh and we also saw some whales, the second time. Everyone on the crew is super awesome and really took care of us. Will be seeing you guys again ... hopefully sooner than later. lol.

Our tour driver, ED, was wonderful! He made the day extremely enjoyable. We found that being part of the tour made our day stress free. We did not have to worry about driving in a city that we were unfamiliar with. We also saw sites that we would not have seen otherwise. Ed kept our group on time so that we could make the most of our day.

This was my 4th return to see a part of our nation's history that truly changed the world. Each time I go back I learn many new facts and find it difficult to hold back my emotions of the lives lost and still remain there forever.
If you are going to be in Hawaii take a day and forever take a part of December 7, 1941 with you.
This tour is my favorite. The staff is first class and they know how to avoid the long waiting in lines.
Thanks to all of those brave men and woman that will forever be remembered!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Though the day started out a bit rainy (we did get an awesome rainbow) it cleared up quickly so by the time we were hiking the lava tube the weather was very pleasant. Viewing the volcano plume while having lunch at the Volcano House was awesome! Did enjoy the side trips to the orchid store and the Macadamia Nut factory, but the highlight was of couse hiking the lava beds and getting close enough to the water to see that tremendous grey and white plume where the lava meets the sea. Our driver was very knowledgable and did enjoy the information he provided us. Am tired but happy and would defnitely do this again. Mahalo!

Note: this is a long day adventure and requires moderate/difficult walking atop the Lava Rocks and paths so be well rested and hydrated for this Adventure. I was amazed and chilled by coming so close to the lava flows and the crater with live lava and steam rising from it..it looks so close you could touch it. This is a great adventure that anyone into the miracle of this great planets processes would love. I still get chills and the big Island is beautiful.

It was a long day, but one that I will not soon forget! From the moment we were picked up, till we were dropped back off, the staff was excellent. They were fountains of information and made the tour that much better.
Once we arrived into Hilo, I was thrilled to be able to see the crater and recent lava flows. It is amazing that this island is still growing and too see where new land is being created was quite the experience. Also being able to have lunch at the Volcano House was a wonderful touch and I am glad that we were able to have lunch in such a unique environment (and it was really yummy too)!
There was so much to see even once we were done with at the National Volcano Park, and the waterfalls were quite breathtaking. Must thank our river for the stop at the macadamia nut factory, since the ice-cream just hit the spot!
Thank you all for everything!!!!

We REALLY enjoyed our bus driver/tour guide, Ben. He was the best. He was very knowledgeable, funnv and enjoyable.
The whole day was wonderful, except for one thing......the 3 hour wait we had to get back to Kuaui.
That was VERY annoying because there is absolutely nothing at the airport to do for 3 hours. There are no stores to even buy anything at, so unless there was an earlier flight that you could get people on, I would not recommend the package to anyone for that reason alone.
When people are on vacation they don't want 3 hours of their vacation wasted waiting at an airport. You should really try to arrange the tour so everyone is back at the airport in time for the 5:45 pm flight back to Kuaui.

This is a very long day, so be sure to get a good night's sleep the night before! We started off the morning with a 4:30 am pickup at our Oahu hotel and were driven to the airport. The driver was on time but the flight out to the Big Island on Island Air was not until after 6:30am, so we did have a but of a wait. The flight out was good, with one stop in Maui to pick up more people.
Once in Hilo, we were placed in a comfortable, air conditioned mini coach that could hold approximately 24 people. Our driver, Steve, was wonderful. He was friendly and constantly speaking to us with a wealth of information.
We are a family of five that went on this tour. I would not recommend this tour for really young children, as this is a long day and there is about a 1 mile hike on uneven hardened lava, but our youngest child is 9 and she did great. Our family enjoyed this tour very much and thought that this tour was a great value. We would definitely do it again.

This was a really great trip. Everything was just about as advertised. It was awesome to see the waterfall at Rainbow Falls and to see an active volcano, craters, walk on a lava field, see plumes of smoke from an active volcano. The only downer of the trip is when we got to the airport to return to Oahu, our flight was delayed 1.5 hours. Of course, the tour company can't be responsible for this. The airline (Island Air) did put us on another flight (Hawaiian Airlines) which was also delayed. So we got back to Oahu over two hours later than expected. We left our hotel at 4:30am and didn't get back until 10pm. A very long day so be well rested, especially for the 1 mile (total round trip) hike over the lava field but it was well worth it and I'm glad we did it.

Our tour guide made our day at Pearl Harbor and everywhere we went. His name is ED not Mr. ED. He had so much first hand knowledge and was just so well read and history educated. He was amazing and what a memory. We could have not asked for more of a history buff.
I do have suggestions for one area that left the trip a little flat at the end. I would have liked to have spent more time at Pearl Harbor(like to do the museum) and less time stopped in downtown Honolulu. I loved the bus trip around the city with all the mastery of Ed talking to us but we just stopped to long in town. Then my one thing that left me flat. We got to the airport just in time to hear a flight called for our destination (reminding everyone that we had been us since 4:00 am) and this was NOT our flight. We had to wait another 2-1/2 hours and our flight was not on time. It was not a good end to a perfect day. I would suggest that the trip to Honolulu be cut short so that the flight could be made more

I booked this tour for my parents and brother to take while we were on Kauai. They had a fabulous day and raved about the Pearl Harbor tour. It was worth the flight to Oahu and taking an entire day of vacation. They loved the bus driver/tour guide. If Pearl Harbor interests you, this is a good way to see it.

お正月に行きました。にも関わらず、日本人は私たち2人だけでした。日本語を話すスタッフはいませんでしたが、奥さんが日本人だというスタッフが一人いて陽気に話しかけてくれたり、他のスタッフも日本人が私たちだけということもあってとても気にかけてくださいました。
ホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので、クルーズの途中にスタッフがクジラを見つけては教えてくれました。
ラナイ島へ向かう途中に、一度参加者を集めてひととおり説明をしてくれたのですが、その中でドルフィンウォッチングの席がまだ7人分空いているといったようなことを言っていました。英語だったのであまり聞き取りに自信がなくて尻込みしているうちに定員オーバーになってしまいました。あとで参加した人に聞いたら、とても可愛かったそうで、思い切って申し込めばよかったと後悔しました。
日本に帰ってきてこのページを再度見直したら、アップグレードの「ブルー・ウォーター・アドベンチャー・ラフティング」というのがそれだったようです。
ラナイ島では子供たちはみんなシュノーケルをして楽しんでいました。私たちはちょっと寒かったので海には入りませんでしたが、木陰でのんびりしたり、岩場を散策して小さな魚を見つけたりして楽しみました。
食事もとてもおいしくて、やきそばも出ました!
一度にいろんなことが体験できるツアーだと思います。
