This was my first trip to the island of Kauai, and I must say I fell in love with the island. The people are much more relaxed than Honolulu, and the sceneries were just beautiful. Waimea Canyon was definitely the highlight of this trip, and I'm glad that I was able to see the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific". The breathtaking view of the art of the mother nature is worth every penny. The Wailua River Cruise was very nice, and the Smith family did such a wonderful job entertaining us on the boat and at the Fern Grotto. We thoroughly enjoyed their hospitality. This is definitely recommended if you are only staying on O'ahu, and want to see Kauai for a day.

Kauai to Oahu & Pearl Harbor
I liked the Arizona tour, but I thought that the park dept could do more to explain the details of the Memorial to us younger folks who do not know about the detailed History of what happened and why it happened, other than the movie. Kids today do not like reading. IE: when we went to Kileau, we had a Park ranger, Jason Zimmer, explain to us in detail what was there, very informative. Also we would have liked to see Diamond Head, they say if time allows, but we wasted to much time driving around Waikiki.

We went to Maui for our honeymoon but really wanted to see Pearl Harbor. The day trip was right up our alley. We were able to see what we wanted to see and more. Our tour guide, Garfield, was awesome and very informative!

The tour guide was very funny and knowledgable. Everyone should see Pearl Harbor.
Saw alot but didn't have much free time to eat or shop for souveniers. Still would recommend to all.

Tour begins VERY early, 4:30am. That's NOT a problem, but we didn't take off until well after 7:30. Wasted time. Arriving in Maui, we had to wait another 45 min. for the next flight to arrive to join our group. By this time we had wasted several hours. The staff really did everything they could and were very nice, but I never like my time being of no value.
Our guide, Judy, was very nice, entertaining, & very knowledgeable. They do need to provide her with a hands-free microphone. I didn't care for her driving up & down the crater with one hand. The mini-bus was clean & comforatable, but noisy. The windows rattled really bad.
The first stop was boring and basically a shabby little road-side stand for us to buy over-priced snacks & stuff. They must get a kick-back for stopping there. More wasted time.
Haleakala was amazing. I loved Judy's insight & knowledge of all kinds of trivia. It is FREEZING up there. Bring a jacket or you will not want to get out of the mini-bus. The

Seven of my family members made the trip from Maui to Oahu on this trip. We had a great time. Our tour guide, Tiny, was fabulous! He was so informative and funny!! He definitely made the trip worthwhile. The tour was fast-paced, but we got to see everything that we wanted. The greeters at the airport were very friendly and explained the details of the trip to us so that the whole day went smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful day.

The trip to Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, etc was GREAT!!! Our driver talked constantly. We left from the Big Island, Please let people know that the parking lot does not open until 5 AM and ask people to be there before then. It was not open when we got there and had to park in the overflow which was quite a distance from the airport to walk.

We had the best time of our lives! The only trouble we had was the airport.The company didn't issue some tickets and so at the ticket counter it took about 35 mins for us to get boarding passes.I would have thought maybe it was an oversight but it happened to all of the people in our tour group.It was also a little unnerving not to have some one from the tour company waiting for us at the Hilo airport,but all turned out well.I would recommend the trip to anyone.Our tour guide i believe was Harry...He should get a raise!!! He is very good and never found him to be boring! We tipped him graciously for his awesome day!!!!! I would like to have had maybe some later trip because it was hot for the children and i would like to have seen the hot lava but i could always come back for another trip...lol.So all in all it was a beautiful day and i would do it all over again!!!!

Be prepared for a FULL day! I was very satisfied with the hotel pickup/drop-off and air travel. Everything went according to the advertisement. Our tour guide ("Harry") on the Big Island was VERY good ... entertaining, knowledgeable, keeping us on-time, even beating the crowd from the other tour buses to the lunch line (buffet was over-priced at $17 each). The National Park Service had the road closed to the lava activity due to the recent earthquakes (tremors). But the black sand beach, crater visitors center and museum, lava tube, orchid nursery, and macadamia nut factory were well worth the visit. Don't know if I would go again, but you should include this activity at least one time!

even though we were not able to see the active lava flows, the tour to the volcano park was the highlight of my trip. the crater and the surrounding area is so amazing and our guide was a total blast! he provided excellent customer service and had a lot of knowledge about the volcanos and hawaii.

Fantastic tour with a great tour guide.
Only one problem.
We were told that we had to check in at 5:30 AM
at the Honolulu Airport.
We got there at that time and there was no one at their
counter.
The flight does not leave until 7:20 AM
so it was ridiculous to be told this.
Be advised and let your people know
because all you will do is sit and wait...and wait...and wait.

My daughter was amazed by the lava flows over the road. It also put her class work into perspective. The lava tube was very different and interesting. Ending with Macadamia Nut Ice Cream was perfect before the hop back to O'ahu!

This trip was absolutely the highlight of our stay in Hawaii. It was the most amazing experience to walk on the crater floor of an active volcano and take a wander on a lava field. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone with any interest in volcanoes or anyone just looking for a fabulous way to spend a day. Our tour guide was an absolute fountain of knowledge, you could tell he had a deep interest in the subjects he talked about and in the Big Island.

Wish we had more time to see actual lava, not just lava fields. One hour is not enough time to hike to the flows and back. Other than that, however -- great time!!! LOVED Cousin Aaron!! :-)
