Tour did not happen, seeking a refund from Trip Advisor
Unfortunately this Private trip did not occur. I did receive a confirmation from Trip advisor and my credit card was charged. The tour operator never communicated directly with me. In the days leading up to the trip, I reached out to the operator to verify the pick up time and location. I called The phone number associated with the operator on the confirmation but always got voice mail stating they were not available. I did leave messages asking them to return my call. I finally called trip advisor customer support, who suggested I call the phone number for the operator, which I already had. I also explained that since it was a private tour for me and my party, that my expectation was that they would pick me up at my hotel. Trip advisor emailed me advising that they had reached out to the operator to tell them when and where to pick me up. (I don’t know if TA ever received an acknowledgement from the operator). So I waited at the designated location (outside my hotel at the front door, the only hotel entrance so there’s really no way the operator could say they showed up, but maybe I was at the wrong door). After waiting for a half hour after the designated pickup time (8:00 am), I finally reached out to trip advisor for a refund around 8:40. Side note. I did get a text back from the number I had been calling to try and coordinate the trip with. They indicated that the number I was calling was not who I thought they were (the tour operator) and that this wasn’t the first time they had received calls asking for the operator. I am confident that I did not misdial as I was clicking the “contact operator” link which automatically brought up the number on my cell phone to call. I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I am left believing that tour operator Pau Hana tours is fraudulent. Trip Advisor did what could be done and I’m hopeful they will approve the refund if they can not secure a full refund directly from the operator. Would have loved to have seen all these sights, but it did not happen.
Response from the operator: Aloha, sorry that we were not able to connect and take you out while you were here. I never received a call/text or email unfortunately and am just seeing this now. As far as I can see, a full refund was issued. We are certainly not a fraudulent tour company and take pride in offering service that guests will remember; as evidenced by the many 5 star reviews. I'm saddened that we missed you and you feel this way. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the islands.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does East Honolulu and Windward Island Specialty Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
