Hawaii Tours

Did Cosmos' 13 day Hawaiian Islands tour in September/October '19. From arrival in Honolulu (Oahu) to departure from Kahului (Maui) had not one single problem or hassle. The Tour Director was incredible: certainly knew what she was doing; handled a crowd of nearly 50 people with aplomb; and had a quirky sense of humour. Roberts Hawaii provided all the ground transport and they were brilliant: always on time and the tour coach drivers had a plethora of funny tales to tell. Hawaiian Airlines didn't ...read more perform quite as well with one of the inter-island flights running late. But Roberts were able to adjust at the other end and we didn't miss anything. All the accommodations were great with friendly staff and great service. The Ka'anapali Beach Hotel on Maui deserves a special mention. The scenery was as gob smacking as I expected it to be and the optional excursions I took were great entertainment: a couple of luau feasts; some zip lining; and the compulsory helicopter flight over a volcano. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters on Hawaii were brilliant and the video of the flight is well worth the purchase price.

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii, the people were very friendly and sang beautifully. The trip was excellent, and ran smoothly. Our fellow companions were great and we had a lot of fun. Our guide Tom was a lot of fun, and very informative. Once again Hannah was the best, answered my emails promptly, and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Hannah. Global Journeys we will book again.

Unknown to us this tour was merged with another tour out of the USA which was a three Island tour which started two days before our four island tour started and finished a few days early than our tour. Our tour guide sent us an email prior to arrival saying that some of the optional extras shown in our Trafalgar documents were not available as they had been undertaken in the days prior to our arrival. This resulted in a tense meeting with the tour guide on our arrival day where we requested that ...read more the optional extras be made available to us. We resolved the issue and were able to undertake the optional extras excluded on some of the other islands rather than Oahu. The tour guide once on board with our requests did an excellent job of arranging the optional extras for us. This was our 7th Trafalgar tour and the first time we have experienced this problem.

Hawaii, a place heard about in songs and movies. Lives up to the image, everywhere is a postcard picture. The hotels were great to start and just kept getting better with each change. Breakfast on an open balcony on top of a black lava rock looking out at the Pacific Ocean, later that night wait for the lights to come on and watch the manta rays come to the surface to feed, or maybe dining sitting beside a lagoon with waterfalls swans and ducks, you get to do all this plus much more.The tour through ...read more Hawaii (the Big Island) Volcano national park is spectacular. The roads follow the shore line. Ocean on one side and beautiful mountains on the other. Just great would gladly go back. This was our 4th trip with Global Journeys and our 2nd with Trafalgar, everything went according to plan, no worries.
