Our guide, Luz, provided all that and so much more. I am disabled and my wife requested a vehicle that would be accessible to me and accommodate transporting my manual wheelchair. Luz picked us up at our hotel in a Toyota Sienna Minivan. She obviously had experience dealing with disabled clients not only loading my chair but she also gave me helpful tips for the easiest and safest way for me to enter and exit the vehicle. The sliding entry door on my side had a power window. This turned out to be a nice feature since this was an all day tour. I had the option of rolling down the window to take pictures. An unexpected benefit was that Luz is also a registered nurse. I cannot express in words how much we were impressed with her knowledge of history and her ability to customize our tour on the fly. It was a highlight of our vacation. I highly recommend Tropical Hawaiian Tours.

Plus having "D" (Danny) as our tour guide made it even the best tour ever. He's very knowledgeable and awesome. They gave you enough time to take pix and shop as well as eat along the way.

And made friends along the way. P.S military friendly

Quality/Quantity - Princess Cruise, in my opinion, is a medium priced carrier. We have been lucky with some good values this year, 2023. We have logged a hundred days at sea just this year with just this brand. But you would already know that if you are following. Food is good, you can have even better food if you are willing to pay extra. Ports are good, for the most part. See all reviews for the best ports and the just okay ports. Entertainment is just okay; we feel their competitors do a better job. Even some of their parent and "sister" companies do a better job. Activities have been good with the exception of one ship. But it was not the ship or rather it was the culture of the "captain" probably cutting costs? This one ship gave out point tickets rather than actual prizes. We participate in most everything, otherwise we can get very bored. And the more sea days we have, the longer the cruise can feel. But you know you are getting older when you actually start enjoying sea days, LOL. Atmosphere - Depends where you travel to, see all my previous Yelps. We take exceptionally long cruises, so typically very few kids are on board. Service - Our experience is that longer cruises have better service and smaller ships have better service. Due to our status, we were invited to the Captain's Happy Hour (discounted drinks if you do not have the package) daily. And also, to the Captain's Party (with free drinks). Price - Again, a medium priced brand. It also depends on where you go, if you have been before ($$ shore excursions), etc. And most importantly, how much you drink and if you have the drink package or NOT. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1965 and for being the second largest cruise line (by revenue). 15 ships. 1974 - Princess was a subsidiary of P&O (Carnival currently owns them also). 1980's - Gained popularity because of the show "Love Boat," if you know the show, you are of the same generation as me, LOL. 2003 - Parent company is now Carnival.

And he did the best magic show we'd ever seen to make the night even better! I'm still in awe to be honest. Miranda was in communication about every detail possible and catered to our every need.

In his open door Jeep, Wade showed us some of the most stunning beaches that were relatively untouched by tourists. We had the opportunity to swim in some of the clearest and warmest waters, I also had to chance to forage sea salt off the rocks! Following, we went off for a quick hike that had us scaling a volcanic cliff for some magnificent views (be sure to bring a good camera/charger for your phone). We finished the afternoon off at a wonderful local farm to table joint called: Monkey Pod Kitchen. Consensus from the family said the tour was truly one of the highlights of the trip! We all appreciated his extensive knowledge of the local culture, the socio-political environment, and Wayde's down to earth nature and flexibility. Highly recommended! Pro-Tip: bring extra sunscreen + hat, extra water (although he does supply every member of your tour with 1 bottle, some snacks for after your swim

Service was non existent. They took us to a snorkeling spot where there were no fishes, not a single one. Asked them to take us to a better spot, after them acting like they were doing us a favor, they took us to another spot where there were no fish, well we saw 3 puny fishes. We saw more walking on the dock, a lot more. So let me summarize, old and slow boat, crappy service, bad route and location Would not recommend it and will not use them again. Not sure why I tipped them. Did I mention this was a private charter in case you were wondering.

My parents had lived in Oahu for 40+ years and we wanted to fulfill their last wishes. Devin and Captain Ken were kind and comforting as we planned the 1.5 hour cruise to scatter our beloveds' ashes near Diamond Head (I am on the east coast, so everything was over the phone or via email). Captain Ashley and her first mate were thorough, compassionate and helped us make the morning a truly meaningful ceremony. The Hawaiian Eco-urns were beautiful, as were the flower petals. We couldn't have planned the Blue Angel flyover- but it happened and my niece got the best photo (thanks, Dad, for winking at us from the heavens). While tears were shed, so were shared stories and big hugs. Thank you, Waikiki Boat Charters, for making the day so memorable. It was a perfect send off for those we loved.

We were going to book a Diamondhead tour but the employee suggested that we just take the bus over there to save money, which was really nice of her. We appreciated her honesty. We've come here for our tours/attractions for the past few years now. (It's a short walk from Kalakaua Ave.) Like I said, the staff is great. The ad is in bright yellow in the "What's On" Oahu booklet. Any three activities from $89.99 for the following: Grand Circle Island Tour (definitely recommended for all 1st timers- we did it), Sunset Dinner Cruise (did it 4x), Pearl Harbor & City Tour (did it), Society of Seven (saw it), Hanauma Bay Snorkel (did it- 4x), Parasailing (did it), Jet Ski, Waterfall Hiking (did it), for Germaine's Luau (add $17) (went to it). Also check out pricing for "Combo Savings" ranging from $52.99- $149.99.

He stated that the tour did not exist and I was wrong. Any attempt I made to speak afterwards he interrupted and said "If you do your research you will find that I am right". After trying four times to speak he hung up on me. Called back and got different guy. He stated that the tour did not exist as well. Well. Day before the tour was supposed to happen they charged me again for it and I finally got a confirmation email and phone call to confirm my details. I talked to their Customer Service again and they stated that yes the tour did exist and I was on it but they only charged me once and refused to give me my money back for the second charge. Ended up full on canceling the tour and had to get my bank to do a chargeback in the card to get my money back. Will absolutely never reccomend them to anyone. I hope no one ever has to deal with their supposed customer service as it is some of the worst I ever experienced.

The big unit has a full kitchen with a dining room table, full fridge, a stove, and an oven. It has a washer and dryer, multiple beds, a TV, a huge couch, and a love seat. The big unit is very spaces, with a parking stool. If you want to park in the parking stool you need to go done the drive way which is narrow, or you can park on the road, which is really safe! The small unit has a queen or king size bed, a mini kitchen, no oven, microwave etc. It has a full size bathroom, and it accessible. I would say the small unit is for two people, ike a couple or a small family with one child. I would 100% come again! You should definitely stay here!

First off, this is more a vacation rental. This was our first trip out to Hawaii and we were…read morelooking for something on the Windward side of Oahu. I found this place while searching for bed and breakfast establishments. **Note to readers** Make sure to check for only registered lodgings, Hawaii is having issues with unregistered establishments. Checking for availability was a simple e-mail inquiry, though I could have called as well. Response was prompt and concise. Reserved room through e-mail and called to give them the credit card info. There are two units, both sectioned off from the house with private bathrooms, one with more space and a kitchen. We chose the smaller unit which was cheaper, only $75 a night for the end of January. The place is two blocks from the beach and there are two beach access points nearby. I was nervous, given the low price and my unfamiliarity with Kailua. All my fears were gone the minute I saw the place. A large bed, a private bathroom, a mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven. Even a television with cable and room for our stuff. While not top of the line, the room was everything I expected. Barbara and her husband were gracious hosts. We had immediate answers to any questions and a nice patio with a pool at our disposal. Bottom line: if you want a nice, simple starting point for your daily excursions, check into Auntie Barbara's now. For the price and amenities offered it can't be beat. It missed four stars for only one reason: parking. The house is set back from the road down a narrow driveway flanked by a concrete wall and a fence. Parking next to the house and getting back out is a nightmare. Thankfully we were able to utilize street parking and walked down the driveway to our unit after the first day.
