Excursion d'une journée de Oahu à Kauai : Points forts et sites de cinéma

We did a 3 day land tour in Honolulu and our driver was Kimokeo. He was very knowledgeable and informative regarding the island. The problem here with this driver was his resentment towards the United States with making Hawaii the 50th State. He made it a point to state how the US stole the island from the people of Hawaii. Took their language and religion from his people and brought in disease. All 45 people on board his bus were Americans and we really didn’t need to hear his personal feelings regarding the USA. Ironically he made sure to point out the tip policy take our American Dollar but spit on our flag. I will never understand why a tour guide be so resentful. Never again use the tour bus company again.

We were at the Honolulu airport at 5:25 am for a 6:25 am flight. Arrived in Lihu at 6:50am. We sat outside the baggage claim for an hour, until 8:05am when the tour shuttle finally arrived. There was some confusion as to who we were. They said on the phone that some people were late this morning at the hotel in Kauai, so that’s why we had to wait so long. The people who were late were indifferent to inconveniencing us. The tour guide made us feel like we were the ones out of the way that they had to pick us up at the airport. We drove around on the shuttle all morning stopping at a waterfall, chocolate store for tasting, 35 minutes to look from a distance at a lighthouse in Kīlauea, and lunch in Hanalei for an hour. All in all I feel this is something that we could have easily done on our own with a rental car much cheaper. The tour bus showed moments from movies that were filmed in the area. On the way back to the drop offs, the tour guide told us people would be dropped off first at the hotels. Even though our flight check in time was quickly and nervously approaching! We made it to the TSA check in exactly 30 minutes prior to takeoff. That’s too close for comfort! We felt very stressed about that! Again, the tour guide really didn’t offer any apology, just a thank you really like it was no big deal. But the big deal was this trip costing $1,156 for my wife and I to have a day trip from Oahu to Kauai just to see a couple of sites. We totally would have done it on our own if we had known the trip agenda beforehand and how rushed it would be.

We had a great trip with Kaleo traveling through the beautiful countryside of Kauai!!! He was very knowledgeable of all of the sites, the history of them and a lot about the wildlife and foliage of Kauai and Hawaii!!! I would definitely recommend this trip again!!!

Kales was amazing. He made it so fun and loved the video clips and commentary along the way. Would highly recommend. The island is beautiful, great way to see it!

Larry was absolutely Excellent!!! Love the tour and education on the history of the island. Learned a lot on our first trip to the Hawaii Islands. Be back soon. Thank you,

Larry was an excellent guide! Very informative with a nice mix of current information and history about movies and their involvement with Kauai and the island. He spoke clearly and engaged us with lots of questions!

Well organized, through, and well paced. Loved it and enjoyed seeing so much of the island without having to do much!

We really enjoyed our guide/driver Kimote’o! He was fun, informative and entertaining! The bus was clean and safe. The sites were very beautiful!

The entire trip was awesome. And our guideKaleo, was fabulous. I would do another tour with him.aa the guide

Captain Rob was a joy to tour with. He was knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. His first mate, Glen, was helpful and cheerful. The tour would have been remarkable as it was but, the Captain and Glen take the extra step to make it memorable.
