“Flew from HNL to LIH. Met pro.ptly by our Polynedian Adventures driver, Rosario who kept the all-day tour interesting with just enough background and historical significance. Boat trip to Fern Grotto was entertaining and educational. We all were "married" again in a joint wedding ceremony. All stops were great, but the canyon views were spectacular. Thanks, Rosario”
One day from Oahu to Hilo for Kilauea and Mauna Loa sights plus a helicopter flight over lava, vents, and waterfalls.
“Day trip through the volcano national park was excellent, Hugh our guide was clearly enthusiastic about his job. Was slightly disappointed to not be able to walk through the lava tube, this has been closed for over a year and this should have been noted on the site. Would like to see a tour that does not involve funneling tourists to nut farms, coffee farms, chocolate factories etc. Helicopter part was actually very uncomfortable, with myself being forced up against the door and one of the other tourists partially sitting on my lap in the front. Husband was very comfortable in the back as only two of them were sitting…”

“Very disappointing. First lack of communication where to park. I went to the Royal Hawaiian Center where you get the trolley and they charged $2.50 for 20 min. Parking more expensive then trolley. The trolley to Diamond Head was basically a bunch of bus stops. Our driver, was not understable and lacked knowledge.”

“The tour guide was very nice. Our actual tour was around 6 hours. There were about 3stops with 2 other bathroom stops. The stops were around 10-20min. If you don’t like hiking and prefer most of your time spent on the bus, this is for you. If you get motion sickness or car sick easily, this may not be for you. Dramamine helped but I still felt sick. Overall decent safe tour.”
