Excellent guided tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and went out of her way to make sure we had a great day.
The use of a dashboard ipad made each location come to life accompanied by the episode clip. Her knowledge of the Series and actors was unbelievable.
Thank you!

Even though I am not a tourist and have lived in Honolulu for almost three years, the circle island tour with Polynesian Adventure Tours was amazing to say the least. I had already been to most of the places we visited on the tour, but on that day I saw the island in a different light. Nothing like learning about Hawaii from a native Hawaiian guide! He was a human encyclopedia of information and facts. Culture, history, flora, fauna, movie set locations—he knew it all.
What specifically impressed me is when our guide talked about Captain Cook’s death. Many sources say that this European sailor might have been eaten by the natives. Our guide shared, however, that Hawaiian people never practices cannibalism. After Cook’s death his body was treated the same way a body of a local chief would be treated—the flesh was burnt but the bones remained intact for further burial. So, upon requesting their captain’s body, Cook’s team was issued a bag of bones, which made them automatically assume he had been eaten.
I would highly recommend the circle island tour to anyone wanting to see Oahu’s beautiful nature and also learn more about its history and culture. This tour will definitely broaden your horizons. I am thankful I had the opportunity to go!

It was a pickup in front of the hotel, and when I was unsure, the driver kindly backed up to bring the entrance right in front of us. Thank you very much for that. Also, I appreciate the effort the driver made to explain that the drop-off point at the airport had changed. The driver was a large person, but the service was attentive and very good.
ホテル前でのピックアップでしたが、解らないでいたら わざわざ私たちの目の前まで乗車口が来るようにバックしてもらい大変ありごとうございました。また、空港での降り口も以前と変ったよと解らない私に一生懸命してくれて感謝です。大きな体格の運転手さんでしたがサービスは細やかでとても良かったです。

This was a great experience starting from the pick up at our hotel. Larry our driver was very welcoming and he made the bus ride fun and was full of information. We have been to Honolulu before but really enjoyed the information and the opportunity to hear about Hawaii history. The Punch Bowl was made interesting by our driver Larry who provided lots of details that were new to us. When we arrived at Pearl Harbor he made sure that we knew where to go and when to be there. We were the only ones doing the Mighty Mo tour so again he made sure we knew what to do and when. His estimations of the times for the activities were spot on. The towel service was much appreciated after climbing the ladders of the Missouri. Thanks for the great experience.

Since my friend couldn't pick me up from the airport due to work, I used a shuttle service for the first time. Among several companies, I chose this one because they accommodate up to five groups. I shared the ride with three newlywed couples from Korea, an elderly couple from Australia, and myself, and the wait time wasn't too long. We chatted with each other and arrived in the center of Waikiki. The driver was a woman who cheerfully explained various things about the city while driving through the center. Since taking a taxi alone can be quite expensive, I think I will use this service again if I have the opportunity.
友人が仕事で空港に迎えに来られない為、初めて送迎シャトルを利用しました。何社かある中で最大5組までということでこちらに決めました。韓国人の新婚さん3組とオーストラリア人の老夫婦と、私の5組で待ち時間もそれほど長くなく同乗者の方と世間話をしながらワイキキ中心部に着きました。ドライバーは女性の方で、中心部を走りながら気さくにいろいろ市内について説明してくれました。ひとりだとタクシーも割高なので、機会があればまた利用しようと思います。

Although we were at the designated hotel street as mentioned beforehand, the driver was 20 minutes late. When he finally arrived, he said, "It was on the other side of the street, but I'm glad I could pick you up." Since he was speaking in English and seemed to be in a hurry, I just apologized. There were already three groups in the vehicle, and after picking us up, he mentioned that he would pick up three more groups. The foreigner in the front seat was checking the time and seemed worried about missing his flight. We had plenty of time, and since we were in Hawaii and the driver was a friendly young man, we were generally quite satisfied.
事前に書いてあったホテルの指定ストリートにいるも、20分遅れても来ず来たら「反対側のストリートだったんだよ、ピックアップできてよかったけどね」というドライバーに英語だし急いでいるようだからそのまま謝った。既に3組乗っていたが私達を乗せた後に「更に3組ピックアップするよ」と言っていて、前の席の外人は時計を見て飛行機時間がなさそうだった。私達は余裕があったし、ハワイだし、ドライバーは愛想がいい青年だったので、普通に満足高めです。

An elderly Japanese woman welcomed us at the reception, draping a shell necklace around my neck and saying, "Welcome to Hawaii." I felt a bit anxious on my first trip to Hawaii, but it was comforting since she spoke Japanese. The driver was Hawaiian, and there were five Japanese groups in the van, four of which were staying at the same hotel, so we arrived at the hotel quickly.

We were picked up on time by a friendly driver who explained everything we needed to know regarding our hike. He was right on with his explanation. We walked along with several others up the trails which we easy then got to some of the curves and switchbacks where the footing was a little difficult. Be sure to wear good tennis shoes or hiking boots not sandals or heels for this hike. We came to a series of steps that were steep then into a tunnel that was a few minutes long. Outside the tunnel there were 2 routes to the top. One set of steps much steeper than the other but can stop and rest along the way if needed. Once on the top the views were spectacular and well worth the climb. I'm 65 years old and have 3 stents in my hear and made this "moderate " hike with only a few stops. There are some rough areas in this hike so people with walkers, wheel chairs and buggies will not make it. We will definitely do this event next time we're in Hawaii. We did the hike up to the top, looked around for 15-20 minutes and hiked back down in 1 - 1/2 hours.

I participated with a group of five women. Three of the women were on the Haleiwa sightseeing plan.
We had chosen to go horseback riding in the canyon, but unfortunately, it rained on the course beforehand, making it muddy, so it was canceled. The driver was concerned about the weather and called the horseback riding location, but since we didn't receive any notification from them, we went all the way to the riding spot. If we had known in advance, we could have avoided the car ride, which felt a bit wasteful. There was a possibility to switch to a coastal horseback riding plan if there had been availability, but unfortunately, it was fully booked that day, so we ended up with a refund.
At the Dole Plantation, we didn't have time to enter the maze. For the Haleiwa sightseeing, we were dropped off at the places we wanted to go. So, we got dropped off at the garlic shrimp place "Giovanni," which we wanted to try, and then walked to get some Huli Huli chicken. Both were quite delicious, so I recommend them to anyone going to Haleiwa, but if there is a regular horseback riding plan, time is limited, so it might be difficult to do both.
Additionally, although it wasn't part of the itinerary, perhaps because we couldn't go horseback riding due to the rain, we were taken to a soap factory. I apologize for writing about it even though they said, "This is a place we normally don't stop at, so keep it a secret!!" There were a lot of other tour guests, so we couldn't look around too slowly, but it was a place I wanted to visit, so I was glad we went. Next to it, there is also the Waialua Coffee Factory.
The driver was Japanese and shared various information while driving, which made the experience very enjoyable. Since he was speaking through a microphone, it might be tough for those who are not good at conversation... On the way back, he kindly suggested we rest since it was early in the morning and we must be tired, and he drove us close to the meeting point without talking, so everyone slept soundly on the way back.
Overall, I was satisfied, but since I was really looking forward to horseback riding, I lowered my rating a bit. I definitely want to go horseback riding next time!!!
女性5人グループで参加しました。
ハレイワ観光プランの方3名の女性と混載。
乗馬は渓谷を選択していたのですが、事前にコースに雨が降ってしまい、ぬかるんでいるので中止となりました。
ドライバーさんが天気を心配して乗馬の場所へ電話してくれていたのですが、先方から連絡がなかったため、乗馬の場所まで行ったので、事前にわかったら車移動しなくて済んだわけで、その分少しもったいなかったかなと。
海岸乗馬のプランに空きがあれば振り替えもあったそうですが、その日はあいにくいっぱいだったようで、返金という流れになりました。
ドールプランテーションは、迷路に入る時間はありません。
ハレイワ観光は、行きたい場所で下してくれました。
なので、食べたかったガーリックシュリンプのお店「ジョバンニ」でおろしてもらって、歩いて移動してフリフリチキンも食べました。
どちらもかなり美味しかったので、ハレイワ観光に行く方はおすすめですが、通常の乗馬プランがある場合は、時間が限られるため、どちらかに絞らないと難しいかなと思います。
その他、コース行程にはありませんでしたが、雨で乗馬ができなかったからか、ソープファクトリーにも立ち寄ってくださいました。
「本来寄らないところなのでナイショですよ!!」って言われたのに書いてごめんなさい(笑)
他のツアー客でごったがえしていて、あまりゆっくり見れなかったけど、行ってみたかったところなので、よかったです♪
隣にはワイアルアコーヒー ファクトリーもあります。
ドライバーさんは日本人の方で、運転しながら色々教えてくれたりして、とても楽しく過ごせました。
マイクを通してお話されていることもあり、お話が苦手な方にはつらいかな・・・
帰りは朝早かったから疲れているだろうからと、休んでください。と何もお話ししないで集合場所近くまで送っていただいたので、みんなぐっすり眠って帰りました。
トータルは満足ですが、乗馬をとっても楽しみにしていたので、その分★が下がりました。
