If You Only Have 1 Day

Posted on: 2015/10/06

This Trip is for those who want to see as much as possible in 1 day.The bus stops for 20 - 30 minute at places, or sometimes just passes by places so you can see everything in half a day. A lot of Beautiful pictures, However, its not easy being on a bus for 11 hours and people do end up falling asleep and missing a lot of the scenery.

For a first timer to Big Island, This Trip was not for me. You cannot get the feel of the culture and truly have time to appreciate the many beauties that Big Island offers. Due to more time spent on the bus, I wish I did this on my own. I just felt constantly rushed to get on the bus.. We had more time at shops(Hawaiian Candies Shop, Macadamia nut factory, Coffee farms) then actual historic places like the Black sand beach or Volcanoes. I don't mind going to the origins of things that are made from the Big Island, however, since this is a tour, then someone should at least someone describe the origins of how these shops/farms/whatever it may be were made. But you are literally just dropped off for 30 minutes at each of the stores to buy something..

Also, Tour states it will end at 6:30pm but it ended at 5:00pm.

Overall, I would not recommend this Tour to a friend or family. You just feel so exhausted by the end of the day due to the long hours on the bus.

2nd timer

My sister visited me so I had to take her here to show her the sandbar. She had a great experience swimming and snorkeling. Good food is a plus.

Turtles Galore!

Posted on: 2015/09/15

Saw many turtles of all sizes. There were 101 people registered for this trip when I went and 2 boats. Even though there were 101 people, the view + experience overlapped everything.
Negative part: Bathroom was very unclean so I did not use the restroom at all during the trip.
Tip: Bring hand sanitizer since it is 50 people to a boat with 1 bathroom that is questionable..
Overall: A must see.
