All Reviews for Inter-Island Day Trips

I am very grateful to my guide, Mr. Abe. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy Kauai Island at a leisurely pace. His storytelling was also very relaxed, making the journey feel effortless. Although he had already retired once and was working again, it felt like his experience really made a difference.

I could clearly see the impact of the two major hurricanes that hit Kauai, with damaged buildings and free-roaming birds still evident today.

The fern cave wasn't very impressive, but the mini Grand Canyon was lovely.

私は阿部さんというガイドさんにとても感謝しています。
時間をゆったり作って回っていただいたので、カウアイ島を堪能できました。
お話もとってもゆったりしていらして、つかれることのない道中でした。
すでに一度は退職されており、再雇用でのお仕事とのことでしたが、そんな経験が物をいうという感じでした。
カウアイ島が2回も大きなハリケーンに見舞われ、大きな被害があったことは今も残る壊れたままの建造物や放し飼いになった鳥などでよくわかりました。

シダの洞窟はあんまり印象的ではありませんでしたが、ミニグランドキャニオンは素敵でした。

A wonderful trip brilliantly organised. Gives ample opportunity to view the beautiful island of Maui. As we have always found with all the trips, the tour guide is superb, giving us plenty of information about the island and providing lots of stops so that we can enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. A long day but well worth it.

This was a great tour, but a lot of driving. Our driver, Juan ( might be misspelled) is a native hawaiian and shared a lot of fact and fable. He played a video about how Jurasic Park was made, and as we drove around you can see where parts of the movie were filmed. We had plenty of time at each stop. I thought the fern grotto was a bit lame. The ferns were destroyed in a hurricane years ago, so the ones that were there were small. It wasnt what I expected. And there were mosquitos at the grotto. It would be nice if the driver had bug spray or something. We came back with a lot of bites. The boat ride was frustrating. It is a wide boat, with a low roof. The guide kept talking about the mountains or things on top of the hills, and most of us couldnt see what he was referring to because of the low roof. On one hand, seeing the island through a tour is a great way to learn a lot about the island. On the other hand, renting a car allows you to stop where you want to (little s

There is a lot of traveling back and forth then actual viewing spots, and because of that there was not enough time at Waimea Canyon which is the main spot of the trip. People taking half day tour should not be mixed with fullday tour, there was a lot of time lost in going back and forth droping those people, and the return flight to oahu should be planned accordingly we had to wait 2 hrs at the airport.

This was my second time on Kauai, and I had a great time!

Traveling with a small group of six made everything run smoothly.

The guide was entertaining, and the scenery was magnificent—an excellent tour!

カウアイ島へは2度目でしたが、とても楽しめました！

6人の少人数で回れたのでスムーズに動けました。

ガイドさんも面白くて、景色も雄大で最高のツアーでした！

Me and my daughter recently did the Volcano Tour and we were lucky enough to have a wonderful, knowledgable Tour Guide by the name of Jane. I hope you relay to her once again how much we enjoyed the Tour. I have traveled 18 different countries and been on many tours but I enjoyed the casual way that she conducts her tour. She tells you what you need to know - answers all questions. She keeps you entertained full time and is very careful about what her people do and where they are. She stays with her visitors. I truthfully, enjoyed her tour better than any I have ever been on. She really is an asset to your company and good at what she does. I am really glad we took the tour as we have been to Hawaii 7 times and this is on the top of the list of what we have experienced. All other tours were good but this one was really good. Thank you and Thank Jane for such a wonderful - educational amount of entertainment you provided. Thanks again.......Audra E. LeGasse

This is a fairly biased view to the tour since the airport was absolutely terrible on both directions (NOT the tour's fault).
The guide was ok, unanimated and didn't realise he told us the same stories multiple times - I found this funny but other people were getting really annoyed about it. If you like the history of sugar cane you'll get plenty of it!
The Canyon was AMAZING! As was Fern Grotto. Everything I thought was only ok in terms of interest sake.

Great day trip! I went on this trip with my husband for our anniversary. Our bus driver Dennis was very knowledgeable and friendly! Lots of different things to see and do from rain forest hikes, lava fields, black sand beaches, and an active volcano! Great for anyone who doesn't have a chance to stay on the big island.

The tour was outstanding and was a highlight of our vacation. It was seeing something new and so different from our normal area and it really showed how powerful mother nature and Pele really are.

My husband, daughter, son-in-law, and myself went on this trip, and we had a great day. We flew over from Oahu, as we wanted to see another island, and "volcanoes" was on our bucket lists. The staff was friendly, professional, and always looking out for us. Dennis was our tour guide, and he was full of knowledge, and we especially enjoyed his coaching us on our usage of the Hawaiian language. The trip consists of a visit to Rainbow Falls, a waterfall park on the island(okay, but not awe inspiring), a stop at Mauna Loa nut factory (yum), a visit to a volcano field and a black sand beach(breathtaking), a stop at a orchid farm(they smelled divine), and finally the Volcano National Park. Don't go on this tour if you expect to see lava...all you will see is steam from vents in the park, and gasses far off in the distance. We knew this ahead of time and were not disappointed. We had a late flight, so Dennis dropped us off for a bit at a local shopping center, and then came back and to

Captain Rob was very informative with great stories. His knowledge of the island, flora & volcano is amazing. He had a lot of patience with the stragglers.

Only recommendation for improvement would be to advise people not to buy any thing that is spreadable in addition to the liquids.

Damien was a great tour guide giving excellent information throughout the entire tour. The greatest part of the trip is the "Grand Canyon" of the islands. Although somewhat expensive (airfare I guess), my wife and I really enjoyed the day.

I could not have imagined how beautiful Maui was going to be! The entire day felt magical...like I had stepped into a completely different world somehow. My boyfriend felt the same way. The guide was really up on all the facts that we would want to know as tourists not being from there...and she made it a fun day, not boring or overly talkative like some tours we have been on either.

We are already decided that we WILL be coming back to Maui on our honeymoon, and driving the road to Hana as husband and wife...we loved it THAT much! Thanks for a great day.

Nice and enjoyable day on the Big Island. We got to see quite a few different and beautiful places. The pick-up at the hotel in the morning was a little later than planned and there was some free time at the end of the day waiting for the plane back, but otherwise it was pretty well organized. Volcanoes national park is beautiful and probably unlike anything you've seen before. More time could be spent there and maybe less or skip the Macadamia nut factory, but we got to see the main spots of the park. Guide/driver was fun. Recommend this especially to first timers who don't have the chance to stay on the Big Island.

Having lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the '50s and never having visited any of the other islands, my sister and I were expecting to see something different and unique. This tour certainly filled the bill and was both those things - and more! Our tour guide - Patty -was very knowledgeable about local and island history and places of interest. She stopped at more than the expected stops and we had plenty of time at each one of them to take pictures, visit any shops that were there and generally get a feel for the place. The fact that we were a small group - just 8 of us on a mini-bus - was fantastic and we turned into a group of 6 after lunch after dropping one couple off back at their Kauai hotel.

It was wonderful to see the unspoilt beauty of Kauai, much as Oahu was when we knew it and before development spoiled it. We were so happy to hear that there has been a limit put on the number of stories hotels there can have, albeit after Marriott built their 8-storey one. At lea

Incredible. A nature so vast that it leaves you speechless awaited me. This island, with a completely different nature than Oahu, is definitely worth a visit. There was a bit of rain, but it created a rainbow, producing a magical landscape.

すごい。言葉にならないほどの大自然が待っていた。
オウフとはぜんぜん違う自然を擁するこの島は一度は訪れるべきだろう。若干の雨があったがそれが虹を生み、幻想的な風景を生み出していた。

Bus driver (Dennis) was knowledgeable and friendly.

We went on this tour for our honeymoon. The group was a mix of families, couples and friends. Great tour guide. Very informative. Does require good walking shoes. We were able to walk on a lava field, see steam vents, walk in the rainforest and through the Thurston Lava tubes. It was a great way to enjoy the Volcanoes National Park. The morning was mostly spent in the bus, with the afternoon being more active.

This excursion was above and beyond what we had hoped for. This trip has it all beauty, adventure, romance. I loved the amazing views of the coastline, the black sand beach and especially the Seven Sacred pools. The driver offered much information along the way. The lunch was delectable ( mahi sanwiches with pineapple slaw and macadamia nut pie) and was one of the best meals we had.
This trip offered so many sights that I had never seen and was one of our favorite excursions. I highly recommend it- and thank to all who provided service in connection to it.

The all-day tour was awesome. No time was wasted - it was fully occupied with interesting things to see. The highlight was having "Captain Rob" as our guide - he has an incredible wealth of knowledge on the geology, flora and fauna, and history of the island/volcanoes. And all comments/narration were presented in a very comfortable and "user-friendly" manner. The other guides may be equally commendable, but for us, we couldn't see how the "Capt" could be improved upon.
The only negative element in the tour was Go! Airlines - 30-35 minutes late leaving Honolulu and 35-40 minutes late returning from Hilo - please don't use them !!

This time, I visited Kauai Island for the first time. The boat ride to the Fern Grotto was a fun trip filled with singing and laughter. Many of the guides are older, making it a more relaxed tour, so I would recommend it to mature couples rather than young people. The atmosphere along the coastline felt similar to the North Shore of Oahu. It's an early start, but you'll be back by the evening, so it’s not tiring.

今回、初めてカウワイ島に行ってきました。
シダの洞窟に行く際の船の中も、歌あり笑いありの楽しい笑旅行でした。
ガイドさんなどは、お年を召されている方が多く落ち着いたツアーですので、若者よりは熟年カップルにお勧めです。
海岸線の雰囲気などは、オアフ島で言うと、ノースショアに似ている感じがしました。
朝早いですが、夕方には戻ってこられるので疲れません。

This is a very good way to get acquainted with the island. If you are staying on Kauai, it is a quick way to decide where you would like to spend more time. If you are flying in and out, it is an opportunity to see something other than the island where you are staying.

The tour was excellent and we enjoyed it very much. The organization was perfect.

This is a great 1-day activity if you are staying in Oahu and want to experience another Hawaiian island. We stayed for 10 days in Waikiki, Oahu and this tour gave us the opportunity to see Kauai for a reasonable price.

The tour is extremely well organised - We were picked up from out the front of our hotel by a coach at 5am and were driven to the airport, picking up several other couples who were also doing the tour on the way. We were met at the airport by one of the tour organisers and were handed our tickets for the flight and told where to go and what to do upon arrival back at the airport later that night.

The flight was only around 40 minutes and we were met at the airport in Kauai by our coach driver/tour guide Jerry. Jerry was an excellent guide and throughout the day told us so much about the history of Kauai and lots of interesting facts as he drove us around in a comfortable coach.

We saw lots of great views and had plenty of opportunities to get out of the co

Indeed, we had a very good time - very knowledgeable guide (she's a local and knows all the details), wonderful nature, everything was planned and organized thoroughly, no unpleasant surprises of any kind either with transportation or anything else. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody.

Loved the trip very much. Our tour guide Damien was fantastic. Kauai is very beautiful. Only complaint, they don't pair couples up very well on the flight over. We met another couple in Honolulu before we departed, and none us was scheduled to sit sit with his or her spouse. Other than that, trip was breath-taking.

I recently participated in this tour and would like to report on a couple of concerns I had.

1. At the departure from Honolulu Airport, I was the only one called out to receive an explanation from the local staff in Kauai. It seemed that I was the youngest participant, so they said something like, "You there, the youngest one, come over here," and I was the only one who received the explanation while the other participants were left out. I believe they intended for me to guide all the participants once we arrived. It is quite unsettling that only one participant was given an explanation based solely on being the youngest, and I think it would be a problem if something happened and only one person knew the details. Regardless of being the youngest, I am not the tour guide; I am just a customer.

2. Upon arriving in Kauai, I was supposed to meet the local staff near baggage claim as per the instructions in point 1, but we could not see them at all, which made everyone very anxious. Since I was the only one with information about the meeting, I ended up having to call the contact number for Roberts listed on the voucher. When I called, I was told to "contact the office directly in Kauai," and they provided me with the contact information, so I called the Roberts office in Kauai again. During that exchange, another participant managed to find the late local staff, and we were able to resolve the situation. The anxiety and helplessness of not being able to meet the local staff in a place where everyone was visiting for the first time was significant. I would have appreciated it if the local staff had sincerely apologized for their lateness. I felt like I wanted a refund for the phone call I made to the office.

The rest of the tour went smoothly, and the staff's handling during the tour was fine. However, I wanted to report these two points because I hope that other participants do not have to experience what we did.

先日こちらのツアーに参加しました。
２つほど気になったことがありましたので報告します。

１．ホノルル空港出発時に、カウアイ島現地スタッフとの待ち合わせについてなぜか私だけ呼び出され説明を受けました。参加者の中でどうやら私が一番若かったようなので、「そこのあなた、一番若いからちょっとこっちに来て」といった具合に他の参加者をおいて私にしか説明をされませんでした。おそらく現地に着いて私に参加者全員の誘導を行わせるつもりだったのだと思います。若いという理由だけで参加者一人にだけ説明をしないというのはとても不安がありますし、何かあったときに一人しか詳細を知らないのでは問題だと思いました。そしていくら一番若いからといって私はツアーの誘導係ではありません。一顧客です。

２．カウアイ島に到着して、１の指示通りbaggage claimあたりで待機しているはずの現地スタッフと合流する予定だったのですが、いっこうに姿が見えず全員がとても不安になりました。待ち合わせについては私しか情報を知らないため、結局私がバウチャーに記載されているロバーツの連絡先に電話をかけるはめに。電話をしたところ「直接カウアイ島にオフィスに問い合わせて」とのことで連絡先を教えられ、再度カウアイ島のロバーツオフィスに電話をかけました。そのやり取りの間、何とか別の参加者が遅刻した現地スタッフを見つけることができ事なきを得ました。全員が初めて来る場所で現地スタッフと合流できなかったときの不安や心細さはとても大きいものです。現地スタッフも遅れて来たことについて素直に詫びてほしかったです。オフィスへかけた電話代を返してほしい気持ちでした。

その後のツアーはスムーズに進みました。ツアー中のスタッフの方の対応も問題なかったです。ただ、上記の2点だけ私たちのような経験を他の参加者の方々にはしてほしくなく、ご報告させていただきます。

This was our second family trip to Hawaii. Since we were there, we decided to explore not just Oahu but also the neighboring islands, so we went to Kauai. It was a very natural island where nature remains untouched. We were able to see sea turtles as well. Waimea Canyon is breathtaking!!

今回は２回目のHAWAIIファミリー旅行でした。
せっかくなので、オアフ島だけではなく
離島へも足を伸ばしてみようということになり
カウアイ島へ。
自然がそのまま残るとてもナチュラルな島でした。
海がめも見ることが出来ました。
Waimea Canyonは絶景です！！

What a fantastic trip! I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the Park and could have spent the whole trip there. Maybe the bus couldn't make it down some of the other roads.


Needed more time for the Jasper museum at the Park.

Lunch was so late that when we got to Volcano House there was no food left in the sandwich area. Many people on the tour did not want the buffet but had to have it as there was no food available.

You should promote the arts and craft building at the park. There were wonderful things there but I only had 5 minutes to look at the whole building. Also no opportunity to look at the exhibits at the visitor center due to time constraints. All day at the park would be awesome!!

Our tour was led by a very friendly old blonde woman. She is very tolerant and knowledgable. I and my friend was late a few times, but she manage to catch up with the schedule. Hawaii island is worth to explore more.
