Spent two days prior to embarking on Pride of America touring Oahu with Polynesian Adventure Tours. Our guide, Ernal was in a word ,AMAZING! He was funny, informative and an absolute professional. When he says that if you are on his tour, you are part of his 'Ohana (family) he means it!!! We had such a great time with Ernal learning about the best parts of Oahu. He even teaches you how to say several words and phrases in Hawaiian. If you are looking to book a tour of Oahu, seek out Polynesian Adventure Tours and ask for Ernal. You will not be disappointed!!
