“The island tour of Oahu was interesting and gave us a nice overview. However, some of the stops felt too short to truly enjoy the places we visited. Adding just 10–15 minutes at each stop — extending the tour by about an hour or so — would have made the experience much more satisfying without adding much cost or inconvenience.”

The crew were really on it in more ways than one!”

I liked wandering around the botanical gardens the waterfalls are in and there are displays of traditional Hawaiian life with workers to explain/demonstrate. Bring cash to rent lockers at the falls, the trail to the falls is paved, but the entry into the falls themselves is uneven, loose, algae covered rocks with no handrails. It's gorgeous just to view, but soooo refreshing to dip in.”
