MARLON IS THE GOAT - When I first came on this trip with my family I was no exactly thrilled at the fact that it was 9 hours, but Marlon made those 9 hours fly by with his explanation of what we were seeing and overall charisma.

Fantastic bus tour of the island. - Kalani did a great job with our bus tour. It rained on and off all day and he still made the tour very enjoyable. At one point during the tour Kalani let us use his umbrella when it started raining. He got wet so we didn’t have to. Much appreciated!!

Great way to see the island! - Lola is an amazing tour guide! She knows so much history about the island and is very funny and friendly. She sprinkles great personal anecdotes in with her lessons. She's able to answer questions and react in real time to what is happening! You can tell she is not just following a script.
The stops were very fun! A great mix of sights and shopping. The bus was clean and cool and comfortable. Lola supplied donuts and waters for everyone! This was a great way to get to see around the island without needing to rent a car and make your own plan.
Thanks Lola!

Grand island Tour and Haleiwa with Kalami - Kalani was punctual at the pick-up point. He is very knowledgeable and his sense of humor kept us engaged and entertained with jokes and wonderful music throughout the day. He drives his bus very well and made me feel safe as a passenger. Kalani, thanks for a great day! I recommend this tour with Kalani, it’s worth it. Mahalo.
