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.

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!

Fantastic experience Fantastic experience from being picked up, safety briefing and then the flight. One nervous passenger was totally reassured by staff. Margot the pilot was amazing, giving commentary and inviting questions. In 50 mins we saw a huge part of the island and received loads of information from Margot. I didn't want it to stop so well worth the money. One thing ticked of my bucket list and I cannot recommend it enough. You must do it.

Vacation highlight Nate was an excellent guide: easy going, yet very focused on the particular needs of his guests. He made connections with every individual on board and was highly engaging about the birding, locales, conservation, and the history and culture of Hawaii. We saw all three endemic species of bird that survive on Oahu as well as--on a golf course!--Bristle Thighed Curlew and exhilarating fly-by views of a Laysan Albatross. A truly memorable outing capped off with views of a sleeping Hawaiian Monk Seal. I highly recommend the excursion to birders. Good work; keep it up! Aloha!! Regards, Adam Get Outlook for Android

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.
