What To Expect
IMPORTANT:
This tour is Not for Everyone! This is an all day, all-inclusive tour; please DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING ELSE FOR THIS DAY unless it is a late dinner reservation! We never know what traffic conditions may be thrown at us, so we just have to take it in stride and with Aloha. This is designed to be an all-inclusive, all-day experience. This tour may not be best for toddlers, but you know your kids better than us! *If you are interested in a similar, but shorter tour, check out our Circle Island Tour or book a Custom Tour with us!*
Actual end times will vary throughout the year, as we end with the sunset, but in general this is about a 12 hour tour. But don't worry, we will have plenty to eat and drink throughout the day! You shouldn't leave the tour hungry, but again, if you wanted to make some late dinner reservations (sometime after 7:30) there should be no issue making those reservations.
