    We thank you for your review during your time in Hawaii. We are delighted to learn that our Travel Director's exceptional professionalism and enthusiasm contributed to making it a memorable experience, and their passion for travel significantly enhanced your overall enjoyment of the trip.

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

    Thank you for sharing your experience here with us. We can certainly appreciate the frustration that may have been felt on this occasion, as you had cancelled your trip and awaited reimbursement. Our teams are doing everything they can across the board to make sure our guests are being taken care of, and that any refunds that are due are being processed in a timely manner. That said, we regret that yours may have still taken some time to be processed, and we genuinely hope that it has reached you since. We appreciate your custom, and hope to have the chance to travel with you some day.

    Jill

    Asked on September 19th, 2026

    Does this booking offer officially close on 9/23/26, then? Is room share still an option, or have to book a private room? I'm looking at moderate, NOT premium for whole trip. Would waterskiing be an option for optional activities?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperator•Written September 2026

      Regarding the deals being offered on the TourRadar website, we have already coordinated this matter with TourRadar. As for the moderate version of the tour, we can certainly check its availability for you and are currently coordinating this request with TourRadar as well.

      Regrettably, twin-share rooming is not available on this tour. If you are traveling on your own, you would need to book a single room, which provides private accommodation throughout your trip.

      Waterskiing is not typically listed as one of the scheduled optional experiences on this tour. That said, if waterskiing is something you would like to do, you may have the opportunity to arrange it independently during any available free time, depending on the destination, weather conditions, and local operator availability. This can be coordinated with the travel director while on tour.

    Dave

    Asked on September 10th, 2026

    Flights from Honolulu to Hilo, and Kona to Maui are included? Still taking people for the first week in November 2026? Could you tell me what the group is like - singles, couples & families? For singles, is there a discounted room share option?

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written September 2026

      The following internal flights are included in the tour:

      • Honolulu → Hilo
      • Kona → Kahului (Maui)

      We currently have departures available on:

      • 01 November 2026
      • 08 November 2026
      • 15 November 2026

      Trafalgar tours typically attract a mix of solo travellers, couples, friends, and families, although the exact group composition varies by departure.

      Please note that there is no twin-share room matching option available on this tour. Solo travellers would need to book a single room and pay the applicable single supplement.

    • D

      Dave

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      What can one do in free time - swim, sightee, etc? Is a rental car NEEDED? Sightseeing/walking around town or swimming on the beach can be done within walking distance/no rental car needed?

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written September 2026

      You'll generally have opportunities during free time to enjoy activities such as:

      • Swimming and relaxing at the beach
      • Exploring local towns, shops, and restaurants
      • Walking around nearby attractions and waterfront areas
      • Optional excursions and sightseeing, depending on the island and your hotel location

      A rental car is not typically required for enjoying your free time. Many of the tour hotels are located in areas where you can easily walk to beaches, restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

      If your plans are mainly:

      • Walking around town
      • Relaxing or swimming at the beach
      • Dining and browsing local shops

      then you should be able to do so without a rental car.

      However, if you'd like to explore more remote beaches, scenic drives, or attractions that are farther from the hotel during your independent time, a rental car could be helpful, though it is generally considered optional rather than necessary.

      We recommend checking the specific hotel locations included in your departure, as walkability can vary slightly between islands and accommodations. It would also be best to coordinate with your Travel Director on tour if you are planning on activities outside the itinerary.
