lovely way to see the island. fantastic scenery and the tour guide Leo was excellent, very informative and entertaining. I just found it a shame that tourists do not actually see the Dole Plantation itself as it is closed off to the public. but all in all a wonderful day.

The driver/guide was amazing and Polynesian Adventures was such a great company. It is along day, but Macadamia Farm, Dole Plantation and Ranch were definite highlights.

Good tour, but too many people. Some of the stops were unnecessary, and spent way too much time at those stops versus the others. For example, we could have used more time at the temple and could have totally skipped the macadamia nut store. Nothing much to see at the Dole Plantation either, except for the gift shop.

Great tour, with endless scenery and breathtaking views around the island. Loved the northern beaches but could have done without the plantation stop. Great way to see the island. Our driver was great and very informative

The guide talked incessantly without imparting information. The scenery is great. The Dole plantation is pretty much a tourist trap.

Excellent driver/tour guide; fun and informative. Lots to see and do. Enjoyed every moment of the day and the stops we made including Kualoa Ranch, North Shore and Dole Pineapple Plantation. Fantastic day!

The guide (Dennis I think his name was) was very good he had a great knowledge of Hawaii and was able to answer all questions asked by the tourist. The only negative was not being able to get out of the bus to see the turtles and perhaps not being taken on a tour around the pineapple plantation and taken to the other side of the ranch which I here should not be missed.

Excellent. You must have our tour guide, Nappy! He was amazing and very comical. Very disappointed when we got to the Dole Plantation. When talking to agent about this trip, they said we would get samples of fresh pineapple when we arrive..... instead it was over $7 to buy a pineapple. Thought that was a bit steep.

Long day, (w/2-11yr olds) but very informative.
Wished we could of stayed longer at the Dole Pineapple Plantation to do the maze (for the kids)
EAT at the Ranch, we didn't, but should have, everything smelled amazing! (next time!)
Great family tour, a little bit of everything for everybody.

Trip is too long. Dole plantation not worth the visit. All we really saw was the store. Trip to some ranch terrible. The Buddhist temple great though.

Lots of information about the island. Good driver with lots of knowledge. Disappointed I didn't see the pineapple cutting at Dole plantation. Trip should be scheduled so this can be seen. We were there at 4pm when the demo was on but waited in the bus for 19 minutes for a late couple. Too many late people along the whole trip. They were given a time to be back at the bus and the rest had to wait. Should be more inforced.

I wish we could have started earlier so we could have had time to take the train ride around Dole Plantation.

This covered most of the "views" on the island, the bus driver was great, however, we did feel a bit rushed at Dole Plantation, we only had 20 minutes, this was due to other passengers not returning to the bus at the time instructed during earlier stops. The biggest negative, the "ranch" where we stopped to buy lunch - the food was horrible, raw bacon and fake sandwich meat, all that for $30! The tour people need to find a new place for lunch, everyone on the bus (which was full) said the same thing - YUCK!
