History, Food and Murky Waters
Rachel W,May 9, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00Great tour of the Island with lots of history. Will was a wonderful guide. The beach stop was a disappointment after riding past numerous gorgeous beaches we were taking to and location that had murky water. I’m sure the beaches change but the contractor should know this the morning of and make other arrangements. This was my second time taking this tour. Once in August 2024 and May of 2026. Both times the drop off beach had murky water. Otherwise the tour and all the stops are worth the trip
Honolulu poor delivery excursion.

3.00It was a Honolulu excursion I feel bad for the driver, but she is not a guide. Her driving skills are perfect. The company viator sign us up was aloha shore excursion. The delivery was poor except the one and the half hour beach stay . The food place was dirty some point of interest we did not stop and did not what it was after we left. All the passengers complained, but there were no alternative. At that time.
Great tour! Very informative!

5.00A fun trip around the Island chauffeured by Papa P.. Very entertaining, Island history, and a few extras like humor and a mini musical concert put on by Papa P. himself.
Poor planning made for a poor experience.

1.00This can simply be described as the tour from hell. I will say our bus driver ‘Papa P’ did the best he could with the circumstances that didn’t seem to be his fault. Started out being picked up over an hour late due to a marathon taking place that they were ”unaware” of. This blocked access to major stops like diamond head and caused other stops to be cut short due to time. Most of us were excited about snorkeling, when we made it to turtle bay the doors were stuck closed for a solid 15+ minutes which continued to cut into our time. When we arrived back to the bus, the AC was broken. The windows and doors were emergency exits only and were unable to be opened. After much persuasion the bus driver opened up the emergency exit so we could ride back. We were all so fed up we opted to skip the last stop. We didn’t arrive back to our hotel until well after 7pm. My mother and I felt the only place that were prioritized were those that had items for purchase such as gift shops and mac nut farm. I read the owners response to a previous comment on the same bus as me stating we were offered free lunch. That is untrue. This poor planning led to missing out on many things we booked the tour to see. Given the circumstances, We feel everyone deserves a full refund for this event.
Disappointed

2.00Paid for the whole tour and the bus broke down for over 2 hours was stuck and when we got on the road unable to see over half of the places we paid for and expected.
PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE!!! (Know what's going on before booking tours) check your equipment also

1.00Started with bus being late. They booked tour during a half marathon. We didn't get to all of our destinations. Bus broke down. Door wouldn't open. No air conditioning. The activities we did make were cut short. We really should be refunded our money because of the tour's lack of planning and faulty equipment as well as not providing what was paid for!!! Everyone should receive a refund.
