Prince Waikiki hotel was wonderful. Restaurant was great with varied food selections every day. Loved the heated toilet seats- I know that sounds funny but it was a nice surprise. The road to Hana was my favorite tour. The mountains, curvy roads, all the waterfalls & the beaches. We had high winds & wave precautions- made the trip amazing. The Mauai Sheraton was a little confusing at first but was lovely. Plus we swam with the Manta rays at night!Christine Northmore

The cafe was lacking in help and ability to serve us food after a long day on our tour. There were no other options for supper except their small store.

It would have been nice to know there was a beach close to the first hotel. The one hotel was so far from anything that there was not a lot to do. Loved the pool but you can only be there so long before getting burnt. Breakfasts were really good. I liked that we were busier at first and had more free time at the back half of the tour. The tour/bus driver to Pearl Harbor was great. Would have preferred a different option than the USS Arizona. Tours can be hard when something interests one person and not another- I would have liked to stay at the Palace about 15-30 min longer but everyone else was done. Loved the dinners, the two that were more buffet were excellent- the other 3 were great, options were almost identical though and I saw many people eating basically the same thing 3 times. Ann Marie was great - worked hard for the poor people stranded going to Hawaii. Appreciate the change of pickup at the end of our tough ride home.

I enjoyed everything we toured, I didn't go to Hanah because of the winding road, I have motion sickness so it was suggested that I not go. I feel the "tour manager" could have included my companion and I a little bit more. I am elderly so I couldn't walk as fast, so we were left out of some of the conversations. We could have booked our own tour, but we wanted to be with other people. The "tour manager", Erin, all in all was great, was on top of everything, timing, transportation and etc. I liked Maui because of its beautiful flowers, Lauhah, and seeing the hump back whales. I wish there was more to do on the last day there. We weren't told of some other things we could have done or toured. We weren't overjoyed with nothing to do. Yes, we enjoyed the sun and beach, but it got to be a long day just doing that. Otherwise the trip was worth going on. Hope you offer another trip through the Monroe WI Senior Center. Thank you..

We had to wait 4 1/2 hours before bus pick up and then didn’t arrive home until the next day at 1100. I was very ill for a week.

Well organized and small group …. We enjoyed the people and our time traveling. Accommodations were very good… on the big island would like to someday see the Outrigger updated as they have a sensational spot. Loved it there. (They’re working on the outside but really should be working on the dated rooms interiors.) We thought Wesley was an excellent tour guide. The only thing we would like to see Collette engage in is some requirement for sick people on a tour to get tested and isolate. As we traveled through the week with a couple people sick , one very obviously coughing and sick. By end of trip sickness got one of us the last two days -positive for Covid. Unfortunately we had to isolate from the rest of the group activities ( which we felt was only fair to the rest of the group) while other sick was able to stay joined with the group because they never tested. But overall it was a great trip and we’re glad we extended a day to do Diamondhead— that was great and would definitely be a great addition to your itinerary.

After waiting and waiting and no help from Collette, we had to make our own arrangement to the airport, missed the flight, which resulted in our extreme trauma. We also not reasonably reimbursed or received an appropriate apology from Collette for this totally WRONG happening and experience. This was totally unprofessional, unsatisfactory and not acceptable. This situation had an adverse impact on total trip. The overall trip was only fairly enjoyable and failed to meet our overall expectations.. There were some enjoyable times and a few good memories. We thought the cost was overpriced based on what was received and our overall experience. We will have to think twice about Collette in the future, mainly based on our interactions with Collette and your overall attitude related to our BAD, non-acceptable experience.Marshall Friedman

Our Tour Guide, Chuck Tracey was fantastic! He truly cared about all the individuals that were on the tour. We shall treasure the monk seal drawing that he gave us at the end of the trip. Cimo, our bus driver, for the first two days was a walking encyclopedia of the history of Hawaii. His presentations were interesting and thought provoking. He should be a part of every tour of Oahu.

Chuck Tracey was an excellent tour director. He made his room available to those people who had to leave their hotel rooms at noon on the 19th. Cimo, the bus driver, did an outstanding job of telling us about the past and present history of Hawaii. He and Chuck work well together. Experiencing the volcano and seeing the magma was a highlight of my trip. Being on the U.S.S. Arizona was a solemn, heartfelt thank you to those men and women who gave their lives at Pearl Harbor and serving in World War II

I thought the hotel accommodations on the Big Island were just okay and expected better. A lot of stops were to buy candy and cookies which was considered a part of the excursion experience. The travel guides (bus drivers) where adequate. They tended to talk to much about their families on long tour rides. Anne was very personable but mediocre as our tour guide. I did like her enormously as a personality. Should allow for one day where you have beach time; though my wife and I took a day off from touring to enjoy the beach in Maui.Ronald Randle

Too much "free time." Unable to go on local tours. Hotels too isolated. Wife had a nasty fall at Waikiki Airport shuttle-to-hotel location, due to unsafe curbs and lack of safety signs and markings.

Actually two of my favorites were activites that were not part of the tour, but were facilitated a bit by Cory.... I found some surf lessons and the manta ray tour right next to the hotel in Kona was AWESOME. Oh yeah, I hiked up Diamond Head too :) Loved finding the sea turtles, also took a whaling tour, snorkeled. The one thing that I was disappointed by was the brevity of the stops at Iolani Palace and the King Kahmeamea statue in Honolulu. When I saw them listed on the itinerary, I skipped going to them on my early day. But we just drove past them--I wanted to go in. Also wish I would have seen the Bishop museum. The only two problems were changing the air travel (which, admittedly, I did twice and the second time was pretty late) but it was treated as non-urgent even when the trip was approaching and the WiFi went out in the hotel. Even on vacation, I need to be able to get an internet connection or risk losing a lot of $$$ (I called down to the front desk and was told there was nobody there until the morning--all they needed to do was to reset the router... can't remember for sure which hotel this was at but I think it was the outrigger on Kona?)

Two of the hotels were excellent. The third one was below par, the rooms were musty, and I suspect moldy since I became ill after one night in this location. The timing of the included tours was faulty. It was either rush, rush and unless you participated in the extra tours there was too much down time with lack of options given by the guide.

I scheduled through a Senior Center, that was not promoting the trip at that time, I had found I could schedule Collette trips without waiting for Senior Center to Promote them. Was told a Manager would be right with me, while I was on hold and the Manager took another call before me AFTER I was told they would talk to me next.

Our tour manager made our tour. She had been with the company 26 years and we think that said a lot about both her and Collette. When we were concerned about how we were going to manage on the last day as we had a 11:00 a.m. checkout but a 10:45 p.m. flight. She arranged for us to have access to a courtesy room so that we could enjoy the day on a snorkel cruise and have a place to store our bags and later get a shower and clean up before dinner and departing for the airport. I'm sure we couldn't have managed that alone and it really made that last day easy and special.Arthur
