Caution! on Refunds Caution!! Be aware that if you have to change (reduce) the number of guests on your activity reservation your likely to NOT get a refund. I had to cancel (on the same day of booking) one of four quests for an activity and the agent approved the cancellation. I was told I would get a credit on my CCard. Never happened even after several inquiries - and No response!

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.

NETTY 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!

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
