Be the Majority Vote

I have no problem with Viator or their customer service. We have booked many trips with them with no issues. But the 3rd party company they use for this excursion, Daniels Hawaii, I would not recommend especially if you paid for your excursion to see the items on the itenerary. Our tour guide made everyone feel like the stops on our itenerary were just tourist traps, that she knew Hawaii better and there were better places to stop. Problem is, we are tourists! So she had a voting session on what we would do instead. It was a full bus so some people were outnumbered on the vote. Tourists buy the Unforgettable Day on Oahu excursion to do tourist things not just to be driven around Hawaii at break neck speeds so she could get back to our drop-off points faster. Two of the highlights on the itenerary for me (which is why i bought it), was one, the famous food trucks on the north shore. We didn't stop there at all! She said she knew a better place to have lunch and had us order from there. There were very few items on this menu (a fish, a chicken and a vegetarian option). If we had went to the food trucks there would have been a little more diversity in what you could eat. I didn't get to try the most famous garlic shrimp from the food truck that created it. Stop number two that was the most important, was the Dole Plantation. I found out at lunch that another couple on the bus really wanted to go there as well, but they felt they were also voted against. So my husband begged for us to stop there. She said she could give us 5 minutes to get a dole whip and leave. We were supposed to have had at least 20 minutes according to the itenerary. I'm not trying to be a stickler for what the itenerary says. We're on vacation, have fun. But I paid over 200 dollars to physically see certain things. I thought about Ubering back out there even though I had already paid for the bus trip and it was way too expensive. So I was very disappointed in this trip. If there are too many stops on the list for the guide to feasibly do in 6 hours then someone should rewrite this excursion. I won't be recommending Daniel's Hawaii to anyone or tour guide Christine who asked us to tip her 4 times.

The sales info said food trucks for lunch however we had to order from one place. Our driver was very informative however in the past I have had native Hawaiian guides who were able to give a more cultural overview

Poor value and not much variety

We enjoyed seeing the whole island but the commentary was very limited , focused almost exclusively on surfing . It was interesting to see the surf beaches and some enormous waves but unless you are mad about surfing there was not much else . No history or culture . We felt this tour was overpriced. There are lots of Circular Tours and we wished we’d picked a different one !
