I'm getting my refund !!!!!!! As said in earlier I contacted Dept of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (Honolulu) about not getting my refund from BEST of HAWAII. Quick response from the DCCA was that Best of Hawaii are now posting a cheque to me for my refund. Staff at DCCA have been excellent and continue to followup until I receive my cheque (I'm in Australia). Contact them if you haven't received your refund. They WILL take action on your behalf. DON'T LET BEST OF HAWAII GET AWAY WITH YOUR MONEY

PCC 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.

The 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.

The 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.

Isaiah Isaiah, our tour guide was awesome. He was so well informed and educated about the events leading up to Pearl Harbor. He also has a great sense of humor and a very welcoming and friendly demeanor. I usually do not like to take tours, but this one was fantastic and I strongly believe that it was because of Isiah’s presentation and guidance of the tour of Pearl Harbor. My whole family loved it, and we highly recommend it for anyone interested in Pearl Harbor.
