“So much history is part of this experience! I truly appreciated it. The 3D sphere was like diving with humpback whales! The focus on conservation and restoration was well done. The native species of fish presented in small enough spaces to really see them was thrilling. The many children there were totally delighted!”

“This is a really long day with multiple short stops. It does make the loop from Waikiki past Diamond Head, along the coast, to the Dole Plantation and back to Waikiki. Beautiful scenery. In retrospect, I would have preferred an actual stop at Diamond Head instead of a quick drive-by and more time at Dole. Unfortunately this was the only option to get both done in 1 trip.”
