Great Life Tours

We were a bit disappointed with the tours booked with Great Life on this visit to Honolulu. Five yrs ago we booked with them and all tours were great. Ann had a great presentation to the VI owners and we were pleased with the choices we made, This year they have really slipped. Appears Ann has sold the business to some new people who don’t have a clue. The tour booking sales girl hadn’t been on any of the tours we were interested in. If they haven’t done it, how can they recommend it?
We booked a Luau (Germaines) and it was lousy even though Great Life talked it up. Of course the sales person had never been to it. The sales person said we could walk on the beach at the Luau and when the entertainment became so cheesy, we decided to walk down the beach, we got in trouble. The security people were firm. No going over the ropes to the beach.
Other things appeared wrong with Great Life: The sales people were not at the kuhio conference room to give us our tickets when they said they would be there (till 5pm) And so we freaked when it became time to get our luau tickets and catch the bus and nobody there.
The new owners haven’t even read the flyers they pass out because the bottom of the flyer said they would loan you a beach chair or umbrella and when we brought it up, they were so surprised and didn’t have chairs or umbrellas. The sales person we booked another tour hadn’t been on that one either, Halekai snorkel and kayak.
We booked it anyway. It was a good one and well worth the time. And then we find out that these tour bookers get 30% of the tour fee so we recommend you check the tours and then go to their website and see how much they charge direct. Also coupons in the tourist books are worth checking once you’ve narrowed down your choices. We could have saved $ 60 by going this route.
We say good luck to Ann but poor choice of hers in the people she sold to…

Let me make this plain and simple for you. They’ve done the work so you don’t have to. Whether you have a plan or are «winging» it Great Life Tours has you covered. Helpful and attentive staff, EXTREMELY knowledgeable about everything I asked. Were even able to give little pointers about the different activities that you would only know as an insider. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to do anything on island. They have maps, they can set up car rentals, i didn’t ask but they might be able to give me winning lottery ticket number for back in the mainland, suffice it to say, they’re that good.

This is a great place if you don’t want to try to research things to do. These ladies did a fantastic job finding us a luau and it did not disappoint. I would not have found it on my own nor would I have gotten the discounted price. Take a minute and stop by. Lots of information!

This company works very hard to provide you with the personal Hawaiian experience of your dreams. The owner personally has gone on every tour they recommend. She will tell you the pluses and minuses of each. No pushy, hard sell tactics. They really listen to what you are saying and provide you with information to make decisions. Great place to plan your Hawaiian vacation.
