Day Trip to Molokai

Posted on: 2015/12/21

The tour has its good and not so good features. It started with a beautiful sunrise over Maui. Then the weather deteriorated as our tour progressed. We all got drownt on the way to the lookout. Sitting on the bus in wet clothes is not fun but our driver/guide Thadd did take us back when the weather cleared. Lunch at the Hotel Molokai was nice...excellent turkey sandwiches. Frequent heavy showers during the afternoon limited the visibility from the bus with steamed up windows also. So overall a bit of a mixed bag. It was interesting to see how the islanders go about their daily business in somewhere so remote, doing without what a lot of us take for granted. A final word of advice...if you suffer from sea-sickness then avoid this tour...once you get out to sea it gets rough. And I mean ROUGH!!!

Lost in the mist

Posted on: 2015/12/18

Enjoyed the ride to the summit, but our stay at the top was spoilt by cloud and horizontal drizzle. Iao valley was a pleasant stop on the return journey.

Road to Heaven More Like

Posted on: 2015/12/16

A long but excellent day trip. Always felt safe with Bruce, our driver, despite some hair-raising hair-pin bends. Some of the views have to be seen to be believed. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Island Tour

Really enjoyed the tour...would recommend to anyone visiting Big Island. The only minus point for me were the visits to retail outlets.

I'll Keep Trying!!

Posted on: 2014/12/18

I'm afraid the whales were very shy during our particular trip. We did see two on 4/5 occasions but only briefly from a distance. In these circumstances I think it's best to look upon the trip as a pleasure cruise because we were treated to great views of the Western side of Big Island. The crew deserve a mention...always polite and courteous...they looked after everyone with complimentary soft drinks.

Grand Circle made for a Grand Day

Posted on: 2014/12/16

Spectacular scenery, blue sky, eighty degrees. What more could you ask? Even a 1 hour hold-up in Waimanolo couldn,t spoil my day.

Honolulu Re-visited

Posted on: 2014/12/15

I previously visited Honolulu from the UK almost 18 years ago. The improvements made at the Visitor Centre have been money well spent. Although I enjoyed the City tour I did think it was a little rushed.
