Lucas provided an entertaing and informative tour of the southern tip of Oahu. He was well informed, enthusiastic, and friendly, and made the tour feel very personal. The vistas and stops were all very beautiful, and Lucas provided commentary and detail on all of the neighborhoods we drove through. He also discussed the history of the island and a bit about the Hawaiian culture. I liked this tour very much as it gave us an opportunity to view some of the impossible beauty of the island as well as a glimpse of some of the 'real' Hawaii away from all of the glitz and glam of Waikiki. I highly recommend this tour!

First off, our tour host/driver, Arlaine, was fantastic! Her professionalism, personality, and care & concern for everyone in the group, especially my Wife (who deals with mobility issues due to MS) was exceptional. 10 Stars!!! The tour itself was a true “bucket list” experience with actually being where so much World history happened was very emotionally moving. Be prepared for a good deal of walking and stair climbing that we weren’t exactly prepared for, but managed due to all the tour guides/docent’s assistance. We highly recommend this tour!

What a wonderful luau experience! Transportation with our host Stephanie picked us up at the cruise ship terminal. Was given lots of history and information about the event. Cousin Stephanie was sweet and very helpful. You could tell she loved what she did and was proud of her home and culture. The food and show were awesome! Unfortunately the crowd was way larger than most people expected, which made for very long lines at the cultural activities and demonstrations. Would have liked to have seen a cap of 500 guests instead of over 700! A paper map or emailed diagram of grounds would have been helpful in figuring out what was where. We paid extra for preferred seating, a real flower lai, and extra drinks. Maybe those people could have gotten more time at the activities or an earlier entrance time. I waited in one line almost the entire time and didn’t get to do anything else before dinner. Loved the cultural aspect of the night and the feeling of celebration. Our friends were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and got to be recognized on stage. We learned so much and enjoyed the night!
