Enjoyed the tour overall but was disappointed in the Dole tour. There just isn't much left to see. Perhaps it's time to switch gears, plant more tropical plants, small plots of pineapples and maybe a theater where your show a film of the heyday of Dole production or at least pineapple production in general. I'm sure that there is vintage footage available. The little train is cute but there is so little to see on it's route. The tiny little piece of pineapple on a toothpick at the end is pitiful.

The driver was great - very informative. The only complaint was we were combined with several other groups AND ended up on the back of the bus with no window so we could not see things that were pointed out as we were driving! I think the seating arrangement should rotate somehow so everyone can have a good seat eventually. We have been on a bus trip before where everyone moved periodically .

We had a fantastic driver/guide that knew the area well. The bus arrived on-time at our hotel for pickup in the morning and returned on-time in the afternoon.

Our tour guide/bus driver was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable, humorous, punctual. He definitely contributed to our high level of satisfaction on this tour. The Dole Plantation could have been more interactive.

Not really our style. A bit rushed, and Dole was a bit average. Good if you are not able to walk around much and would prefer to be seated for the majority of the trip. Always have the problem of idiots not coming back to the bus on time.

The tour was a useful look at the island as a starting point for an Oahu holiday. However, the number of "comfort stops" at souvenir shops (four, including lunch & the Dole plantation) was excessive & time wasting. A stop at Turtle Beach would have been a worthwhile substitute as there were turtles at the beach that day. The Dole plantation is past its use-by date. It is not really that interesting, especially the train ride. The pineapple industry is on the wane, so they're looking to harvest tourists instead. On the plus side, the tour driver was a mine of information, very funny & a really nice guy.

It was a little bit too long. Might be worth splitting into shorter trips.

The tour guide was entertaining, but it was too long with too many stops that didn't seem important.

I thought this was the worst tour ever! I was extremely upset! I wanted to leave the tour after our third stop. I wanted to get a refund and tried to contact a Viator representative, but I couldn't. My boyfriend had to convince me that everything was paid for and that I should not waste my money and just sit through the rest of it.
