A great day in Oahu.

The Tour was excellent from the start. Prompt pickup at the Airport and went directly to Pearl Harbor for a great experience. On to the Dole Plantation for a quick stop for Dole whip. Finished up at the Polynesian Cultural Center and saw several great cultural presentations. Then it was back to the Airport to head to Maui.

Summer shows Hawaii

Summer was AMAZING! From pick up and taking photos, to supplying water and giving tips to make the most of our time. They pointed out the cleanest restrooms… essential when traveling with 2 young kids. The shrimp lunch spot was delicious, and the tip to skip the extra spicy option was appreciated as more than one member of our party would have encountered that problem. All of the information shared was wonderful and the dad jokes were great add one.
