This all day long tour was the absolute best. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and shared a ton off information about all the stops.
Halaiwa town was very quaint, but expect to do a bit of walking, and waiting in line for good, if that's what you decide to do.
Overall, this trip was great, definitely worth the price paid.

Wow! What a day! We booked a private tour for our family and it was worth every penny. Our guide Kapena was amazing! He would tell us stories about ancient Hawaiian legends that made the already beautiful views come alive in a different way. Kapena would give us the history of all the sights we saw and really tailored our tour to what we wanted! 20/10 would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the sights and learn the history behind it! Thank you Kapena - the kontra family

I loved everything about the traditional dance and music. Amazing — especially the fire show. The rest was a huge cattle roundup with loading us onto buses, standing in lines, sitting in long tables, getting food like school lunches — all in a not-ambiance-producing water park. So I honor the Chief and his love, as well as Cousin Lisa our bus driver’s spirit of love and family but there was nothing relaxing about this production. Luau’s should be on grass among trees near water with time to socialize and enjoy the time with new friends and old. Thank you for sharing Polynesian culture though!

We went on this near the end of our trip and wish we had booked it earlier. Chris was our tour guide and he was *chef’s kiss*! He was knowledgeable and personable and entertaining for the whole 9 hour day. This was a great experience seeing what the island has to offer and would be so helpful in figuring out the spots to go to for a longer amount of time.

Amazing Experience. Paid for transportation pickup from the hotel- very convenient. The deck views of the city were breath- taking. You didn't feel the boat moving. My family was seated at the table in front of the stage- could not have Asked for better seats for the fun historical entertainment! The crowd was engaged the entire time. The table was set up beautifully. Wine for toasting was kid friendly. The Deluxe 3 star course meal was awesome. The servers were very nice and prompt. My family had a great time on this cruise.

I had a lot of preparations to do before my departure to Hawaii, which was different from usual, and I was worried about the PCR test results, so I ended up making the shuttle reservation at the last minute. Additionally, my accommodation was not a hotel but a condominium owned by my family, so I received a cancellation notice once during the booking process. When I contacted them to request a change of the drop-off location to the Ala Moana Hotel instead of canceling, they responded quickly and I was able to make the change even though it was the day before departure. There were no issues with the reservation on-site, and when I tried to lower my large suitcase, the driver kindly offered to help me. The start of my trip to Hawaii after three years felt wonderful. Thank you very much!
ハワイに出発迄いつもとは違い色々と準備が大変で、PCR検査の結果も心配だったのでシャトルの予約がギリギリになってしまいました。その上私の滞在先はホテルではなく家族の持つコンドミニアムだったので、予約の時一度キャンセルのご連絡が来ました。できればキャンセルではなく送迎先をアラモアナホテルに変更して欲しいと連絡したところ、出発前日だったにも関わらず素早く対応して頂き連絡もすぐに頂けたので変更ができました。現地でも何の問題もなく予約が通っていて、大きなトランクを下そうとしたらドライバーさんが声を掛けてくれてお手伝いしてもらえました。3年ぶりのハワイの始まりがとても素敵に感じました。ありがとうございました

The activity claims to stop at all island tour locations before being dropped off at the the Polynesian Cultural Center, however, the tour does not include 5 of the advertised stops; Diamond Head and Black Point Lookout, Hanauma Bay Lookout, Dole Plantation, all the north shore beaches and the Laie Hawaii Temple. Also, the driver rushes the crowd and threatens to leave within 10 minutes on each stop. Very disappointed with this activity.

Would definitely do it again!

I've been to the island dozens of times over the last 50 years and this tour was one of the highlights of all the visits.
Our pickup time was 6:40am from the Ala Moana Hotel. This is right next to a major shopping mall with ample parking. After a few more pickup locations, at various hotels, we were on our way.
Our driver, Danny (Driver of the year), was outstanding. He not only provided us with island history, but his own personal experiences growing up on the island, while pointing out many points of interest as we spent the day traveling around the island. As we approached each of the stops throughout the day, Danny played a brief video describing the highlights of the next destination.
The bus was clean and comfortable, with an onboard restroom. Bottled water was available throughout our entire tour.
We made our way out of Waikiki, traveling east through the neighborhoods to our first stop at the Halona Blowhole where Danny provided us with a tasty taro poi malasada (a purplish colored glazed donut that was outstanding). We spent about 15-20 minutes taking in the sights, before heading off to our next stop.
We arrived at our next stop, the Pali Lookout, about 20 minutes later. The views down to Kaneohe Bay were amazing. Again we had 15-20 minutes to enjoy the view and take photos.
A short time later we arrived at the Byodo-In Temple. After ringing the bell for luck, you can walk thru the Temple and around the grounds and koi ponds.
After leaving the Temple, we enjoyed an hour long drive along the coast, including amazing views of the North Shore, before arriving in Haleiwa town.
Here you'll have 90 minutes to enjoy lunch from one of the many food establishments.
The final stop in the tour was the Dole Pineapple Plantation, before returning to Honolulu where we got to view the Iolani Palace, and the King Kamehameha Statue.
The nine and a half hours flew by and was time well spent.

We were lucky to be the first pick up of the day and got front row seats! The views out the windshield and side windows really enhanced the experience. We were also lucky to get Driver of the Year “Danny”. Danny shared personal stories, island folklore, history and lots of other informational tidbits that kept the passengers interested and engaged in between stops. Although it was overcast most of the day and we did get rained on, the stops and views did not disappoint. I would recommend this tour for those wanting to get a good overview of the island, take in the sights and to help plan where to visit or explore for a longer period of time. Our 15 year old son and friend also really liked it.

The overall trip was good. The driver was on time to pick us up and very nice and accommodating. We started with the early hiking at the diamond head hike which is great because it gets quite hot after 9am at the top and by the time we got back, there was a large crowd waiting to get the tickets to start the hike. The view at the top of the crater was very nice. You can see all the high rise buildings in the waikiki area. It does take about 45min one way with 0.8 miles to climb up to the top. You will climb through a small tunnel which was cool.
Then he drove us around the island and we stopped at a few different beaches. We saw the area with very expensive houses which was very interesting. We also stopped to see the koko trail and the blowhole. We then stopped at a few additional places including the place where they sell macadamia nuts. That was a very nice place where we get free coffee and can taste all different kinds of macadamia nuts before we decide to buy them. We then stopped at the food truck place for lunch and the food was not that good. The garlic shrimp has too much garlic and the butter and lemon shrimp was too blend. What is worse is there was a lot of flies, so we have to constantly worry about the flies going to our food! The kids had a great time chasing the the chickens though.
We then stopped at another fruit stand and the sunset beach. We were supposed to stop at another beach but we decided to skip as there were too many stops along the way and mostly are shops for tourists. The last stop was the Dole plantation which was a big disappointment. I did not even get a chance to see even one pineapple! The place was so crowded with fancy stores selling tourist merchandises and the ice cream was ok. We were not able to get on the train to see the pineapple fields as the tickets were sold out. The maze was ok, but no pineapple there. I personally do not recommend going to dole plantation.
Hello Yi Family,
Thank you for the review. The tour can be a long day. I am glad you got to enjoy some parts of the tour. I am sorry you did not get to enjoy the garlic shrimp. There are a lot of options out there so some of them are hit or miss. Dole Plantation is another one. During the busy season, it can get really packed out there. But I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip out here.
