“Fun trip with a fun tour guide, Kap?, and group. Saw many places and many beaches. I wouldn’t waste my time on the Dole Train next time. Saw many plants, but too long with the return trip useless. We had to hurry to the train, and then buy Dole Whip. No time to look in shop or around grounds. Our snorkeling beach was too rocky to really enjoy the beach.”

Fly from Kona to Honolulu, then spend a full day with a local driver-guide visiting Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, Oahu’s North Shore, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and Kualoa Regional Park. Flights, transport, and entry tickets are included, but meals and Kona airport transfers are not.

“Our tour guide arrived late to pick us up, which meant we didn't have enough time to see all of Pearl Harbor and had limited time at the Dole Plantation. We did not receive any notification that the guide would be late. When I called to find out where they were, I was told that another guest had been late for their pickup. That guest was taken directly to Pearl Harbor before we were picked up, meaning they got to see the full site while our experience was limited. I have reached out to Aloha Sunshine tours to discuss our disappointment, lack of notification, and lack of apology or compensation.…”

9.Valley of Waimea Falls Swim & Hike with Lunch & Dole

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 33 reviews · 8 hours · from $134

Spend eight hours exploring Waimea Valley with an English- or Japanese-speaking guide. Start with coffee and pastry at Greenworld Coffee Farm, walk the 1.5-mile botanical trail, swim beneath Waimea Falls when conditions allow, eat lunch, and stop at Dole Plantation.

“Excellent tour! Interesting, well planned stops with good food. I liked wandering around the botanical gardens the waterfalls are in and there are displays of traditional Hawaiian life with workers to explain/demonstrate. Bring cash to rent lockers at the falls, the trail to the falls is paved, but the entry into the falls themselves is uneven, loose, algae covered rocks with no handrails. It's gorgeous just to view, but soooo refreshing to dip in.”
