How do you curate these tours?
Unlike most other travel websites we prioritize quality over quantity and hand-pick the tours based on 3 criteria:
- 1: We must have done the tour ourselves and loved it;
- 2: The tour must consistently receive good reviews, and
- 3: The tour operator must give back to the community and make an effort to minimize their impact on the environment.
Are there any "unmissable" tours I shouldn't miss?
Yes, but not that many. Unmissable for us means the tour is both uniquely Hawaiian and so memorable, you won't be able to stop talking about it once you get home. The following adventures did that for us:
- Big Island: The Manta Ray night snorkel/dive and seeing the lava at night (if lava is flowing).
- Maui: driving the Road to Hana.
- Kauaʻi: Exploring the Napali coast (by land, air, or water).
- Oʻahu: Visiting some of the world-famous white sand beaches and take in history at Pearl Harbor.
What about free cancellation?
Most tours shown here offer free cancellation. The window is typically 24 to 48 hours before the activity, with a few requiring up to a week's notice.
The one exception is a tour with no free cancellation policy. It is marked prominently on its page and during checkout, so there are no surprises.
