When you say - cost of flights are not included, do you mean flights to/from the mainland or do you mean flights during the tour from one island to another?

We want to clarify that this specifically pertains to flights to and from the mainland – essentially the initial and final flights needed to reach the starting and ending points of the tour. However, we are pleased to inform you that local or internal flights required during the tour, such as flights from one island to another, are indeed included as part of the comprehensive trip package.

The tour itself was good, It was just that the islands didn’t really live up to my expectations.

We were told by Tour Radar that we could not plan “individual outings” before our trip. “Wait until you get there and your tour guide will help you”. At least that was my interpretation. So by the time we got to Hawaii a couple of the events we wanted to participate in were already booked. I was quite disappointed. Our plane was 3 hours late arriving so we never really met fellow travelers. It was the first tour I have been on where I did not know most of the participants. Our Director was awesome but overall this was an OK vacation. Service was great, Mother Nature provided lots of whales but so many things went wrong it will not go down as a memorable experience.Show more
