This is a typical circle island tours where you get picked up at your hotel & you drive around the island as a knowledgeable guide tells you about the history, culture, botany, geography & beautiful landscape of Hawaii. At some places you stop to take pictures, at others you drive by, & at several you stop for a while to eat & shop.
WHAT YOU MIGHT LIKE ABOUT THIS TOUR
- The best thing about circle island tours is that all you have to do is get up on time. Many people enjoy these tours, especially after spending so much time planning airfare, hotel accommodation, getting time off, & when they are here they want to relax.
- You see many places in one day, so that you get an idea of the island. If you're here a short while, you dont feel leaving like you only saw Waikiki, if you are here for a long time, its a great way to get an idea of places that you want to go back to, without relying on tourist books.
- You're on a timed schedule, so you don't have to hassle -if you came with a lot of friends or family- about deciding where to go & how long to stay.
WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS TOUR
- This is a tour. So you can expect certain things that come with most sightseeing tours; short stops to take pictures, "cheesy" jokes, & stops to shop & eat. Usually if you "hang loose" & relax in the A/C tour bus, you will have a good time. But if you go on one of these tours expecting to not be around other tourists like yourself, you will probably have a bad time. In this case, we highly suggest renting a discount car & planning ahead of time where you want to go and stop.
- You might feel like some of the stops are too short, or a place you want to stop at they just drive through. Again, keep in mind that the objective is to see as many things in one day as possible & get background knowledge from a guide.
- Sometimes unexpected things happen. While Hawaii is beautiful we do occasionally have rainy weather & traffic jams. Whats good about these tours is that they are arranged in a way to avoid traffic & have back-up plans if it gets rainy.
