Travelers beware!!. Tour was VERY DISAPPOINTING. Booked this tour to see a lot of island. Papa P was the tour guide. It was a waste of time and money. Most of the places we stopped were for food & told where the ATMs where. His driving was not the best especially at the end of tour. We did not want to be lectured on his political views. At our last stop his guitar comes out, we are sitting in a hot bus and he starts to sing several songs. One was an Elvis song. When it came time for the drop off, his family was dropped at their hotel first, then dropped others off at their individual hotels. The few that were left were not asked but dropped at the original pick up spot.

Papa P was amazing, nice, friendly and funny.He eve played his guitar and sang to congratulate us on our 25th wedding anniversary. He told us a lot of historical information about all the places visited.

Our tour guide, Cousin Guy was great!! Very knowledgeable and personable. He provided great history and nice little unknown facts.

ravijs2024

We had our tour today 06/05/24 with Papa P. He was amazing and so knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii. He told his personal story about his family and his upbringing in Hawaii which gave a beautiful context and brought the island to life. We were also celebrating our daughter's birthday...he made it so special by singing happy birthday to her. We purchased a tour and what we received was a family outing. Will definitely recommend and go on this tour again.
