5.00Summer was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. She gave us so many good suggestions for each stop, and even gave us special gifts at the end. I learned a lot about the culture, and every stop gave us a good idea of what each center was about, without taking too much time. The food stop was delicious as well. Overall was very enjoyable!
Great tour with Summer as a fabulous tour guide

5.00Great experience! The length of time was great, although I could see staying at the Polynesian Cultural Center longer than 3 hrs. Our guide, Summer, was fabulous!
A perfect blend of fun, history and culture with our tour guide Summer

5.00This was my first solo tour and it exceeded all my expectations. The views were absolutely beautiful and our guide Summer was amazing. She explained everything in detail, offered snacks and drinks, helped us pre order lunch, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. There were no lines anywhere and we were on time at every stop. The tour lasted from around 6–7 in the morning until about 4–5 in the afternoon. She also took incredible photos of me, which means a lot when you are traveling alone. The tour itself was great and we even stopped at a place with local macadamia nuts at the end. I highly recommend this tour and especially Summer!!!!
Great highlight tour with interesting stops.

5.00A fabulous all day tour. We lucked out with a small group. Summer, the tour guide, was amazing. She engaged the passengers with questions & banter. Her historic story telling made history feel personal. Pearl Harbor is such a story in itself. Heartbreaking & poignant. The Dole Plantation was a quick refreshing stop. Lunch was at a tasty roadside cafe. The Polynesian Center/Village needed 2 more days to see it all. Highly recommend this tour!
Papa P’s Tour was entertaining from start to finish!

5.00This tour is a full day experience so wear your comfy walking shoes! Pearl Harbor was most informative and somber. As our National Anthem began to play at 8:00 sharp, all visitors stood respectfully still. It was a poignant reminder of Japan’s horrific surprise attack that took place right where we stood 84 years ago. The Monument to the Arizona Battleship brings the reality even closer. The Polynesian Cultural Center is amazing! Don’t miss the cultural exhibitions and programs provided! Papa P expertly guided us to the programs and had seating ready for us! We ended our Polynesian experience with a relaxing boat ride through the complex. The Dole Plantation was a let-down as there wasn’t much to see but they do have delicious pineapple whip! Papa P took us by several pleasant surprises - we saw surfers riding the waves at North Shore, we tasted the plethora of macadamia nuts and free coffee at the Macadamia Nut Farm (try the cinnamon and Kona coffee flavors), and we tasted delicious coffees and ice cream at Green Farms! Papa P thought of our every need from chips for snacks, juice and water to ordering our lunches for us. He was by far the most attentive, thoughtful, entertaining Tour Guide we have ever had!
Amazing beautiful interaction

5.00We would like to say our driver Summer was an amazing wealth of knowledge and warmth. She took good care of us making sure we made the most of our time on the tour. Never before have we experienced a more personalized tour guide, who demonstrated, a thorough knowledge of polynesian culture. She has solidified our love of Hawaii in a most complete way that we shall never forget.
A warm guide, recommended to participate
