Aka the tour guide is the most kind hearted beautiful soul I ever crossed paths with. If you can get him as a tour guide y in Luck!!! This tour I would recommend to anyone coming to the island! You learn so so much about the Island and its history! You stop at so many beautiful locations where you can take pictures. I can go on for days about it but you are better off trying it out yourself and experiencing it! Worth every Last Penny you will spend on it!!! Again Mahalo AKA you’re the man! It was an experience I’ll never forget!

We would definitely Not recommend this trip to anyone. The driver and the host were fine, but several of the stops were a waste of time. One was just a gift shop, at the Dole plantation you have less than 30 minutes, the food stop was overpriced and food was very poor. The snorkeling spot was also mostly a bust.we did see a couple turtles. But you virtually no fish. Worst of all, the host allowed several members to be consistently late (20-30 minutes) every single stop! This was frustrating for many many passengers. And the people who are consistently like did not care at all. As a result we had much shorter time at the snorkeling spot and at Dole.

Views of the mountain ranges and snorkeling were the only good points. Otherwise it was just stopping at locations to spend on touristy gifts or snacks.
Would have liked more history of the island rather than Hawaiian language lesson.
Lunch food (extra charge) was less than average.
Our bus had “a technical problem “ which meant us having to wait around for some time until alternative arrangements were sorted. Far from ideal but I still couldn’t recommend the excursion. It felt like an expensive waste of a day of our holiday.

Aka and Victor were awesome! Throughly enjoyed the day. Highlight was snorkeling with green turtles and learning about Hawaiian culture. Aka’s singing was amazing. I left with so much extra knowledge, including the difference between nunu and ʻīlio-holo-i-ka-uaua. Awesome!!!!

The tour guide was exceptional, very organized, entertaining, and very informative. He had answer to any question and had very interesting stories.

This trip was just not what I was expecting.
There were several parties on our bus that were late which resulted in us leaving about 25-30 minutes late. Someone else’s poor time management should not have affected what I paid for. This caused the entire day to feel rushed. It very much was stop, take a picture, get back on the bus. I would suggest getting rid of the time on the itinerary as they are not correct. The only place we stayed for longer than 30-40 minutes was the snorkeling (about 30 minutes of that was walking to and from the bus + rinsing off and changing.)
All of the stops were just shopping. No tours of places we are being taken to just visits to their gift shops.
Our tour guide mostly spoke about himself, and personal life. We learned very little about that places we were going and most of the time had no idea what stop we were going to next. There was one point right at the beginning(Diamond Head) where we pulled over on the side of the road and our tour guide talked about his family for about 15-20 minutes before pulling into the parking lot and telling us “we are running behind- take your pictures and get back on the bus”. Don’t get me wrong our tour guide was a nice guy but it was annoying to be told over and over again we were running behind and then at the very end being told that we are running ahead of schedule.
It doesn’t mention it in the description but you will need cash for lunch, and one of the stops you need to pay to get in.
Overall, I would not do this again.
