Pick up from ABC store #83 was on time. We were expecting a "Roberts" bus but instead it was from a "sister" company so we were a little confused. This tour made for a long day! All of the stops were good, but you don't have a lot of time. I was very upset that our lunch stop was not at Kualoa Ranch, but instead it was at the Polynesian Cultural Center. If I had wanted to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I would have booked a tour that went there. We were there for an hour for different lunch options apparently. Everyone ate at the same food truck because the others only had certain items. Wait times were long. We did stop at the Kualoa Ranch, but we only got 20 minutes there. I was very disappointed. No real explanation for the switch either.
We also got stuck in road construction on the North Shore and barely moved for over 40 minutes due to the road resurfacing and one lane. It was awful!!
We did see a lot and were able to take in a lot of the island, but be prepared for lots of quick hop on and off stops for pictures and expect delays on the North Shore. I wish we had just stopped there for lunch!
The Byodo Temple was the biggest highlight for me. It was so peaceful there after a stressful day to that point; I didn't want to leave! Make sure that you ring the gong and enter the temple to view the Buddha.
