Island Tour Plus Plus - A fun trip around the Island chauffeured by Papa P.. Very entertaining, Island history, and a few extras like humor and a mini musical concert put on by Papa P. himself.

Long trip around the island. - Entertaining trip with too many commercial stops. A mix of interesting sights and shopping "opportunities." The narration was informative but could have included some quiet time for a rest.

Poor planning made for a poor experience. - This can simply be described as the tour from hell. I will say our bus driver ‘Papa P’ did the best he could with the circumstances that didn’t seem to be his fault. Started out being picked up over an hour late due to a marathon taking place that they were ”unaware” of. This blocked access to major stops like diamond head and caused other stops to be cut short due to time. Most of us were excited about snorkeling, when we made it to turtle bay the doors were stuck closed for a solid 15+ minutes which continued to cut into our time. When we arrived back to the bus, the AC was broken. The windows and doors were emergency exits only and were unable to be opened. After much persuasion the bus driver opened up the emergency exit so we could ride back. We were all so fed up we opted to skip the last stop. We didn’t arrive back to our hotel until well after 7pm. My mother and I felt the only place that were prioritized were those that had items for purchase such as gift shops and mac nut farm. I read the owners response to a previous comment on the same bus as me stating we were offered free lunch. That is untrue. This poor planning led to missing out on many things we booked the tour to see. Given the circumstances, We feel everyone deserves a full refund for this event.

PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE!!! (Know what's going on before booking tours) check your equipment also - Started with bus being late. They booked tour during a half marathon. We didn't get to all of our destinations. Bus broke down. Door wouldn't open. No air conditioning. The activities we did make were cut short. We really should be refunded our money because of the tour's lack of planning and faulty equipment as well as not providing what was paid for!!! Everyone should receive a refund.

That was a day out of my life that I’ll never get back - The trip looked amazing on paper. We got picked up at 7 o’clock and by 7:30. We were counting down how much time we had left. A short stop with all of the other buses to look at a blow hole. Stopping at a kind of run down shopping centre to use the bathroom. Visiting fake Buddhist Temple, where the only activity really was to Bang A Gong but you had to lineup for that. The scenery was great. How can it not be? Lunch was fine, but not all it was hyped up to be. Swimming with the turtles meant swimming and turtle Bay, but of course, not seeing any turtles. If I don’t know it was gonna be like I would’ve walked away from my hundred dollars that I paid, actually 200 for my girlfriend and I. Do yourself a favour and rent a car or spend more money and get a private tour.

Don’t waste your time - Scenery was great but just went from one ‘retail experience’ to the next - narration went on too long & wished he’d stop talking
