The afternoon tour including the meal is approximately 6 hours long. Children will be charged the same price as adults for tour & meal, however, they would not qualify (under 21) for the wine tastings menu.

  • All tickets are non-refundable after purchase. The only exceptions will be in the event of severe weather that would prohibit visiting the sites, in which case the entire prepaid amount will be refunded.
• Speaking of weather, what happens if it rains?
  • Our Hawaii rains are generally warm and mild. They are typically sporadic, occuring for short bouts, followed by sunshine. Often it rains in one area and not another. Ponchos and parasols will be provided for your comfort. Cancellation or rescheduling will occur only at the discretion of the tour director, such as in the rare case of severe weather.
