Did this tour last week when we were on the NCL Pride of America. Please be aware that you do not view any Japanese Gardens or any Macadamia Nut Farms. There is only bottled water if you ask for it and there are no snacks given out. The driver does not speak much, he only puts on a movie about volcanoes, which no one watched on our bus. At the Thurston Lava Tube, our driver literally said, “Here you go, just walk across the street and go right….” He never even told us what we were going to look at! The driver does not go with you to the few sights, he will just say, “ Meet back on the bus in 15 minutes. Enjoy!” Lunch is on your own at a place similar to a 7-11 back home. We would sneakily join other tour groups at the sights to listen to a guide explain the history of what we were looking at and what it was like to live on the island. To make up for the gardens and nut factory…. you get to spend more money at a candy shop. Sorry, Edmond!

Aloha yes the Lillioukalani is a Japanese garden. Its actually the largest outside of Japan. Macadamia Nut Farm is closed still since covid so he made an extra stop by chocolate factory. Right now we go to a deli called manono mini mart to grab lunch. Sorry but thats all we have for right now - our other places closed down since covid so we are trying our best. I have spoken to the guide about your comment and everything will be handled. Thank you for your review
