Punctual - Punctual and educational. JP was helpful as one of us wasn’t feeling well. Very convenient pickup from cruise and dropoff to airport in time. We missed the turtles though

Viator Private Tours are the only way to go! - Booked this private tour through Viator and couldn't have been happier. It was an 8-hour cruise ship pickup with airport drop-off which gave us all day to tour Oahu. Although our driver was a few minutes late (due to traffic), he texted and called to let us know and keep us informed of his expected arrival time.
During our tour he took us basically on the Grand Circle Tour. Our first stop was Pearl Harbor and a tour of the USS Arizona (be sure and get your tickets beforehand). We then stopped at a coffee farm, the Dole Plantation, Island X Hawaii (chocolate maker and gift shop - not to be missed) and a food truck (Surf N Salsa) for lunch. It was all amazing and our tour guide, Dave, was awesome and very knowledgable about the island. He was very accommodating to our schedule and things we wanted to do.
Finally a shout out to Viator - another couple in our group had reserved a tour on our cruise and the port was cancelled the morning of. Viator refunded their money (without them having to do anything). Sometimes I am hesitant to book with Viator because I never know if a port will be cancelled last minute and I will be out all of my money because I didn't cancel 24-hours in advance. This alone is reason for me to consider booking all of my cruise tours with Viator. I hope this is something you normally do for cancelled ports and not just a one-off.

Great customized tour - JP provided a highly customized tour and was extremely knowledgeable. We had seen some sites on our own and it was nice to hear the history behind them.

Lei showed her home to us with respect and love. It showed through her presentation. - We were driven around by Lei, who was so very knowledgeable about the trees, plants, birds, history and general information. The Temple in the north of the island, beautiful views of the coastline, tour of Honolulu itself, and the Diamond Head region all helped get a better understanding of Hawaii overall. But I have to say the Lei was a good portion of the charm.
