This is my first time to Hawaii, any advice?

How exciting! There is so much to see and do here, there’s something available for all ages and interests! For tours and activities, check out www.robertshawaii.com.

If you are on Oahu, you might be interested in taking a circle island tour to get an overview of the island. The ships at Pearl Harbor are also a must-see.

If you are visiting Hawaii Island, hop on a circle island tour which takes you around the island. It is called the “Big Island” for a reason though!

On Kauai, check out the stunning Waimea Canyon and Fern Grotto, marvels of nature.

In Maui, the road to Heavenly Hana is a famed windy road to one of the most beautiful places in the island. It can be a difficult drive so hop on board with our experienced local drivers.

Hawaii runs in Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time UTC/GMT – 10 hours.
