Cousin Boyd was a fantastic tour guide. We saw many major sights. If I could make the tour better I would shorten stops at Dole and eliminate or cut very short stop at macadamia outlet. I wish we had stopped for pictures at some of the beautiful beaches on the east side and north shore. Also to pass palace and King statue. Other than that Cousin Boyd was fantastic!

The tour was as described and the tour guide kai did a good job. We stopped at all view points as listed. I only gave 4 of 5 stars as a)almost 3 hours we spend at commercial attractions: makadamia shop, japanese Tempel, food truck place for lunch and dole ananas Shop. I would suggest to exchange the dole shop by a 45 min stop at the turtle coast and b) the organiser of the tour was impossible to reach prior to the tour via email and the meeting point was sent out very last minute the evening before. Small changes can make the tour a 5star adventure. Nonetheless the excursion can be recommended.

I bought this tour because it was offered in Spanish, when they came to pick me up at the airport, no one spoke spanish, I refused to take a tour where I was not going to understand anything, I got $50 refund after i paid over $388 for both of us.
I lost a whole day in Hawaii becuase of this tour, they just dont care about people or well being

The tour is not as described. We've been taken only to some places from the described itinerary. The "stops" at the seaside points was only one and this for maximum 10 min while driver ordered the food.

Our guide was knowledgeable and wonderful BUT everything was done too fast. Didn’t have time in any of the stops to fully appreciate the destination. The stops was usually 20 minutes or less.
