Johnny Aloha, our tour guide with the vibe of a hip, cool uncle (or “cousin” as they say in Hawaii), one who knows how to show the kids a good time, and can be trusted to drive safe, keep everyone on schedule, keep the language PG-13 or better, and find music that suits everyone on the road trip. Being so adaptable and friendly to all of the people on board made it conducive to everyone being the same way with each other, and showing interest and celebratory attitudes to fellow travelers. By contrast, when we stopped at Pearl Harbor, we noticed that another driver (for this same company) was having a really bad day, was being acerbic, hostile and cussing, and was rude to our driver (all because she had forgotten to bring her phone charger). Johnny took it all in stride, was very professional and laid back and assured us that we were all good and, again, swirled us all around into a fun-focused mindset. Pearl Harbor has a lot of first-come-first-served standby protocols, but we followed Johnny’s instructions and all were able to get on the first boat over to the USS Arizona Memorial. He really crammed a lot into a single one-day trip and was terrific from start to finish, pointing out historical, significant, trendy and just amazing points of interest, while keeping us safe (watch out to not step on the kukui nuts when you walk on the grass), and making sure we all maximized the trip, like giving us the option of getting a free Dole-whip ice cream cone at the restaurant where we ate lunch if we scanned a QR code and gave a good review. His friendly interactions with other tour guides, vendors and people around the island was great proof that you can create great environments around you and other like-minded people.

A good selection of sights to see -Pearl Harbor, Dole pineapple plantation, the Polynesian Cultural Center and a public park visit towards days end. Sampled the local doughnuts. Tour guide (Liana?) was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Well worth the price (especially in “ Hawaiian” dollars. The only glitch was the morning pickup. I was staying at the Honolulu Airport Hotel but was asked to go to the Plaza Hotel only a short walk away to the south. It was confusing because we headed north to Pearl Harbor anyway. Not a big deal.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide in Johnny Aloha. The lunch stop at Tanaka is fire. Get the spicy garlic shrimp with the spicy garlic sauce on the white sticky rice.
