Hawaii
We booked a private Road to Hana Tour with Hola Hola tour group. Mauana was absolutely the most awesome guide! He was a gentleman, funny and full of knowledge regarding the history and culture of Hawaii. By the end of the day, we embraced him as family. It was worth every dollar to book this tour!
Hi Liz! Thank you so much for your awesome review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and favorite pictures. We love Mana too! He is an amazing guide - full of knowledge and humor. We are so grateful to have him as part of our team. We hope to meet again! Until then... take care! Aloha!
The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience top notch. The views were amazing and beautiful and honestly could just spend all day staring at the mountains. The combo tours were definitely worth it!!
Shoyi and Hiro were wonderful! Very knowledgable and patient with many questions that were asked. We learned so much! Shoyi's photography was a bonus! This was a fantastic tour and an experience we will never forget. Thank you!
Good way to spend a couple of hours meandering down a river.
The greenery is the prettiest I’ve ever seen! Don’t focus on making it to the top and seeing the waterfall…the best part is the experience getting there!
Amazing showing and dinner. We would definitely come back.
This is the best way to get to & from Pearl Harbor when staying in Waikiki. They handle getting the Arizona Memorial tour tickets, plus you enjoy a drive through Punchbowl National Memorial Cemetery and a drive through downtown to see the Iolani Palace and the King Kamehameha statue. We were picked up around 8am in Waikiki and were back in Waikiki by 1pm, so had the afternoon free. If you also take in the Battleship Missouri, then you will return to Waikiki later. Our driver/tour guide, the bus and everything were great. A taxi alone would cost you this amount just to get to / from Pearl Harbor, but with this tour, you get to see more.
Took the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise with my sister to celebrate her birthday and we could not have asked for a more enjoyable evening. It was such fun with non-stop, great entertainment. You are well taken care of from start to finish. The entire crew and entertainers were top notch. The sunset and views of Waikiki from the ocean at night are so pretty - many fantastic photo ops. I would highly recommend this dinner cruise, you won't be disappointed.
I had a wonderful time with our day at Pearl Harbor! Lines were a bit long which is to be expected. Once we reached the memorial it was beyond worth it! The staff really knows everything you need to know about the history there.
Amazing tour. The guide was very good and made it an awesome experience. The setting was one of the most beautiful spots I have ever seen.
Went for our anniversary and it was the perfect evening. Some of the best crab I ever had, and the staff is full of light!! So many laughs and smiles on this cruise :)
Next time I'll bring a friend....best tour in Oahu
Everything I needed to see! Beautiful historical experience and the tour guides truly know everything there is to know!
We had a great time. Oli our driver/guide is outstanding and we are giving him 5 stars!!!
Thank you for sharing this Lao! We are very happy that you enjoyed Oli and his tour. Mahalo for your 5-stars!
Awesome fun tour...Our tour guide was the best very funny and knowledgeable.
We had an amazing time on this tour. PJ, our guide, could not have been better. He was so entertaining and informative, and made the whole day fun & interesting. The highlight was getting to see the lava at night - truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend!
Dastan was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Had some much knowledge of everything Hawaiian. Enjoyed all parts of the tour, was a long day and glad we were the first stop on returning!!!!
This Passport to Pearl Harbor was very convenient because you have the QR code that'll easily get you all the places except the USS Arizona Memorial.
Once you arrive, they'll check your vaccination card & ID and will give you a wrist band. From there it's up to you where you want to visit.
I started with the USS Bowfin, where they'll give you an audio you can listen to as you walk through the sub. My advise is to make sure to carefully listen to it before moving forward cause it's not going to replay. Once you're done visiting the sub, there's a museum that has a virtual tour of the submarine.
After taking a 10 minute shuttle to USS Missouri, you get to step foot where the Japanese surrendered 80 years ago. On the Battleship there's guides who can answer your questions and give you a piece of history. You take another 5 minute shuttle to the Pacific Aviation Museum where they have displays of old aircrafts. It's a great place for those have interest in airplanes cause you are standing right there in front of 20+airplanes! The last stop I made was to the USS Arizona. Highly advise to purchase the boat ticket in advance on the Recreation.gov website because if you don't have one you're going to be in the stand-by line. Give yourself about 1.5-2 hours for each attraction so you can make the most of this passport.
The grand circle island tour was just amazing, some really nice places were visited and we had some time to enjoy them as well as having some amazing views of Oahu island. Lola is the best tour guide!! Not only she is nice and funny she kept us informed all the tour with interesting facts about the places visited and about the island and Hawaiian culture in general.
Everything from start to finish was excellent!! We included transportation from our hotel to the cruise site also. Everything was clean from top to bottom. Customer service from our waitress was amazing. Karen was nothing short of amazing & she was super sweet. The food was good as well.
The Shaka self driving g tours are great we can do them at our own pace and they give lots of great stories, history a d legends.
Thank you for letting us know you've had a great time on your Shaka Guide tours. Don't forget to tell all your friends about Shaka Guide so they too can have an amazing vacation when in Hawaii. Mahalo Glen!
we had a great time. Our guide was really kind and very funny. The scenery is exceptional and the meal delicious. Huge thanks to Cole Volpe our guide who gave us a taste of the fruits we found on the ranch and drove us like a pro. Thanks for all
We have two toddlers so this was a nice adventure to take with little ones. The fern grotto is beautiful.
Our driver, Chelsie, was fabulous! I am giving this tour 4 stars because she deserves the stars! Very interesting and informative tour of the Island. As for the transportation…you definitely need to invest & updated the buses with better air conditioning. It was fully packed, not one spare seat on the bus…and the air conditioning was inadequate to keep the bus at a comfortable temperature.
Aloha Dianne,
Thank you for your honest review and for bringing the air-conditioning to our attention. We will be sure to have our maintenance crew check it out. We appreciate the time you have taken and are grateful that you joined us. We hope your visit to Oahu, the Gathering Place, was an enjoyable one.
Mahalo and stay well!
This was our very first time in Hawaii, and of course our first luau. The show was great, the food was good, and so were the drinks! It was a beautiful evening and very well done, and completely safe! I highly recommend this luau whether it’s your first or you are a seasoned professional!
It was a smaller boat, so I felt a little bit squished, but I guess that is how submarines must feel!
Lunch was delicious and the boat is amazing! The size is awesome and it is super clean! We loved the snorkel and the crew was extremely knowledgeable as well as helpful assisting me in the water!
Thank you so much for joining us! We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again in the near future!
Nice boat ride and walk to the fern grotto. The customers on board got into the group songs and their hand movements. A good family outing.
I booked for the temple and the falls
Our drivers knowledge and love of the island was what I appreciated the most
Aloha Stan,
We are very happy to hear of your enjoyment. Thank you for spending your day with us, we are most grateful.
Mahalo!
This tour will have you learning so many great things about Big Island. They pushed our tour back a tad but they did this to let us see more of the night lava flow!
There are simply too many good things about this tour - from the stop at Black Sands (breathtaking) to the 3 course dinner that was TO DIE FOR and all local!
I would recommend this to anyone!!
