GBPCC and island tour We booked a tour+visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center Driver was great, explaining a lot of what we saw and the historical context. Very entertaining as well, kept us looking out the windows and laughing. Some issues - A little too many comments on the "government doesn't do it's job" line. Tell me the facts and I can decide for myself. Also, more for the tour description - it mentions seeing the LDS Temple. Viewing it from a distance while driving along didn't really qualify. Also had an issue with the tickets. At the price we thought we were getting the VIP tickets, but it was not so. No difference booking through BestOf and booking with the Polynesian Cultural Center directly.

CAThe show was amazing but I was… The show was amazing but I was disappointed with the food. I had been to a similar event many years ago and remember wonderful dinner of a variety of salads combined with roasted pig I can’t remember if it was cooked in the ground or over a fire but it was amazing. The buffet that was served was not great although a variety of meats and fishes. they were over cooked and dry. That combined made the dinner something to take care of hunger but quite unremarkable.

GBThe people were very nice The people were very nice, the animals were healthy and appeared to be well cared for. The zipline was fun, but the horseback riding was mediocre at best. It was pretty much nose to tail and absolutely no gait other than a walk was allowed. If you are an experienced or even intermediate rider, this is not something you want to spend your money or time on. Perhaps just the zipline or one of their other options would be better for you.

GBTrust Best of Hawaii’s Customer Service I booked a 5hour guided kayaking tour I found on Best of Hawaii. It was with Sun and Salt Adventures Hawaii - Oahu: 5 Hour Guided Na Mokulua Island Kayak Tour. Best of Hawaii's Adin has been a lifesaver and answered all my questions. However, the kayaking tour was not a great experience with a poor outfitting of a tiny tandem kayak and a pfd that was too big. My boyfriend is over 6' tall. He was paddling with his knees at his chest. He was so uncomfortable. We capsized because the kayak was so unbalanced and seats were not adjusted properly. My pfd was floating above my head because it was too big. Our guide did not seem too concerned about safety or about using the best route with the tidal conditions. Best of Hawaii apologized for this terrible experience and did offer a customer appeasement. I appreciate Best of Hawaii and Sun and Salt worked with me on this truly bad experience. Best of Hawaii listened to me and was very understanding.

GBNETTY IS THE BEST!!!! Magical experience thanks to the BEST tour guide Netty! Not only did she lead us through a wonderful adventure, she saved us in shorts and flip flops (unprepared) ensured we got towels and blankets before we left. Make sure you bundle up! Freezing conditions in winter months, but so worth it!
